HYDRAULIC BEARING 
 1. INTRODUCTION
1.1.  INTRODUCTION
PS980 has a cast puller yoke and a forged bearing separator. The 
separator covers bearing diameters from 90 to 105mm and the extension 
rods provide a maximum reach of 420mm. The 10 ton hydraulic ram is 
also compatible with sets PS981.V2 and PS982.V2. The PS985.V2 is 
similar to PS980.V2 except that the splitter covers bearings from 120 to 
150mm diameter and ram extensions and a plug are included.

 3. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 WARNING! Ensure all Health and Safety, local authority, and  
  general workshop practice regulations are strictly adhered to   
  when using tools.
  DO NOT use tools if damaged or worn. 
  Maintain the tools in good and clean condition for best and safest 
  performance.
  Ensure all threads are clean and well lubricated. 
  Always check that puller is correctly assembled and is square  
  with the workpiece. 
  If vehicle is raised, ensure it is adequately supported with axle  
  stands, ramps, etc. as appropriate.
  Wear suitable clothing to avoid snagging. Do not wear jewellery. 
  Tie back long hair.
  Wear approved eye protection. A full range of personal safety  
  equipment is available from your Sealey dealer.
  Where possible shield workpiece with canvas or similar to provide 
  protection against failed parts.
  DO NOT heat puller jaws when heating a gear or bearing as this 
  will affect the temper and, therefore, the strength of the material.

SEPARATOR/PULLER SET
MODELS:
  DO NOT use any tool or lever to turn the ram tommy bar, use 
  hand effort only.
  DO NOT hit workpiece, or ram, with a hammer if workpiece has not 
  moved with maximum puller force applied. Use a larger capacity puller.
  Account for all tools and parts being used and do not leave them 
  in or on the vehicle. 
  IMPORTANT: Always refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s service  
  instructions, or proprietary manual, to establish the correct   
  procedure and data. These instructions for use are provided as a  
  guide only.

 4. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
  WARNING! Ensure that you read, understand and apply the   
  safety instructions in Section 2.
4.1. Confirm that the bearing is retained by interference fit (parallel   
  or taper) only.
4.2. Assemble splitter around rear of bearing and clamp together using   
  the studs and nuts (fig.1.A & B) provided.
4.3. Screw the fully threaded ends of the two puller rods (fig.1.C)   
  into the splitter.
4.4. Remove nuts (fig.1.D) from free ends of rods and place yoke  
  (fig.1.E) over thread shanks.
4.5. Retain yoke with flat washers provided (fig.1.F) and nuts, but  
  do not tighten at this stage.
4.6. Adjust ram T-handle (fig.2.A) so that tommy bar (fig.2.B) is   
  approximately 80mm above ram end cap (see fig.2) and screw  
  ram body into yoke until ram piston (fig.1.G) contacts end of  
  shaft. If shaft has a ‘centre’ machining fit centre adaptor to   
  piston before screwing ram down. If ram will not reach shaft   
  use extension piece(s). Note: Only use centre adaptor where  
  end of shaft has a matching ‘centre’ machining. PS985   
  contains a plug which provides a thrust pad for the piston   
  in applications where the shaft is hollow.
4.7. Adjust position of yoke to get ram piston on shaft centre and   
  then tighten yoke retaining nuts.
4.8. Turn T-handle clockwise, by hand only, to pull workpiece from shaft.
4.9. Do not screw T-handle in further than 25mm (1”) from end of the   
  ram (see fig.2). If workpiece requires additional movement then   
  unscrew T-handle to 80mm from end of ram, screw ram body  
  down so that centre adaptor again contacts shaft and then   
  continue to draw workpiece up shaft. 
  IMPORTANT: The maximum safe load for the puller can be   
  achieved by hand effort alone. The use of tools or levers on  
  the tommy bar to increase the load will damage the splitter 
  and may result in injury. Such misuse will also invalidate the  
  warranty. 
  WARNING! If the workpiece does not move when maximum   
  puller force is applied, DO NOT hit it, or the puller, in an   
  attempt to jar it free. Damage to puller/workpiece and   
  personal injury may result. Use a larger capacity puller.

 5. MAINTENANCE
5.1.  GENERAL
5.1.1.  Keep all items clean and lightly oiled. Keep all threads free   
  from grit and lubricate the ram regularly.
5.1.2.  Store the ram in the closed position to prevent piston surface  
  corrosion.
5.2.  TO CHANGE OIL in ram 
  IMPORTANT: The hydraulic system operates on a   
  specially formulated oil which must be replaced from   
  time to time. Use Sealey Hydraulic Jack Oil, available   
  from your authorised Sealey dealer. Quote model   
  number: HJO500MLS for 1 x 500ml bottle or PS982/OIL  
  for 15grms of oil for a single refill. 
   WARNING! Use of any other oil in ram may cause ram  
  to fail and will invalidate your warranty. Wear appropriate  
  eye, face and hand protection.
5.2.1.  Dismantle by removing the ram cover (fig.3.2) with soft jaw   
  grips (fig.3.A) (body may have to be held in a soft jaw vice,  
  ensure body thread is not damaged). Caution! The cover is  
  spring loaded, take care when removing. Carefully remove   
  components 2, 3, and 4 from the cylinder. 
5.2.2.  Screw T-handle (fig.4.5) down as far as it will go, then   
  unscrew and remove it from the body (fig.4.5).
5.2.3.  Push a narrow screw driver (fig.4.9), or a rod of appropriate  
  diameter, down the small opening in head of ram (B), in order  
  to push components 6, 7, and 8, plus the oil, out of the main 
  cylinder. Note: A medium force may be required. 
5.2.4.  Remove remaining oil from main cylinder, clean all components  
  and replace any showing signs of damage or wear.
5.2.5. Take small seal and piston (fig.5.7 & 8) and gently push them  
  down the narrow bore of the cylinder ensuring the metal piston  
  (8) is first, with the concave face pointing in the direction of the  
  T-handle, and the seal (fig.5.7) second, with the widest part of  
  the seal facing upwards towards the main cylinder (fig.5). Push  
  into bore as far as possible. 
5.2.6. Pour 15grms of oil into the bore (fig.6). Insert larger seal (fig.7.6)  
  as shown, with the widest part of the seal facing downwards into  
  the bore. Push down into main cylinder as far as ‘X’ (fig.7)   
  followed by piston (fig.7.4) and spring (fig.7.3).
5.2.7. Refit (do not overtighten) ram cover (fig.7.2) and replace T-   
  handle (fig.7.5).
   WARNING! The correct orientation of pistons and seals in  
  the ram is critical.
5.2.8. Screw T-handle into ram until it contacts small piston and   
  then turn a further two or three times.
5.2.9. Remove T-handle and firmly bounce the ram piston (fig.8) on a  
  hard, but non-damaging, surface 6 to 10 times to consolidate the 
oil. Replace the T-handle, wipe 
clean and the ram is ready for 
use.

 6. SERVICE PARTS & NOTES
6.1 MAINTENANCE OF EARLY MODELS. 
  Please note that earlier models of the  
  PS990 were filled with a hydraulic   
  grease. 
 WARNING! Do not put oil into units  
  previously filled with grease as the   
  seals will be configured for grease only  
  and will leak if used with oil. 
6.2 CONVERTING OLD UNITS TO OIL  
  The old type grease filled PS990 can  
  be converted for use with oil by   
  replacing the internal components with  
  those supplied in the repair kit   
  shown on left Part No PS982/8002. Do  
  not mix old and new components. A  
  single 15grm refill of oil may be   
  obtained by quoting Part No.PS982/OIL
