Hub Dollies

Bearing Dollies for LM, SL and Larger Bearings

We used steel pipe for a long time, only to find that the ends regularly mushroomed due to extreme usage. Dollies are the easiest ways to insert bearing cups and hub caps into your disc rotor, drum, or hub.

Bearing And Dust Cap Dollys At Couplemate

Dollys are not a Couplemate invention; however, they are much easier to use than other methods of inserting bearing cups in disc rotors and hubs.

Here’s how you use bearings and dust cap dollys.

First, knock the cup flat with the outside of the hub or drum boss. Then, use the dolly to push the bearing cup home into the bearing shoulder in the hub boss.

This process is easy; you’ll spend less than a minute inserting the bearing cup. Bearing dollies (to knock cups into hubs) makes life easier and safer. We make hundreds of cups per week, and we’ve found it much easier to use these dollies.

You will also notice that we use a dust cap dolly. No more struggling with dust caps—this dolly makes for an excellent, stable fit.

Update: We now use hydraulic presses to insert bearing cups. This device uses several different dies for all the bearing sets we require. You’re still better off with the bearings and dust cap dollies for personal use.
