If you decide to open a universal car service from scratch or to expand the range of services of your workshop, you need a special repair tools for this purpose. Let's see what helps mechanics when repairing various units and systems of the car.

What tools can be applied for repair of starters and alternators?

In this product line there are different auxiliary devices for disassembling and assembling of electric units, quick dismantling of their components (pulleys, overrunning couplings, etc.).

MSG Equipment manufactures alternator tools such as pullers MS0204 suitable for almost all alternators of vehicles. This set of tools is intended to replace the rear bearings of the alternator rotor and it does not damage current collector rings during operation.

Tools for repair of automotive air conditioners

Usually, the compressor and clutch are most likely to fail first in the vehicle AC system. To replace their worn out components, you will need special automotive ac tools such as pullers and adjusting fittings.

We recommend to purchase a tool set for repair of the whole system. For example, you will need a set for removing pulleys MS1253, it serves the units of climate systems of different vehicle makes.  of cars. It will ensure quick and easy dismantling of worn parts for their subsequent replacement.

The brands of tools for automotive maintenance, which are trusted by car repairmen: MSG Equipment, Force, JTC, KingTony, STAHLWILLE, Mastercool, ASTA.

A set of tools essential for repair of shock absorbers

In the repair of shock absorbers different shock absorber tool kits are usually used: wrenches (hexagonal, oval), fittings for rods of different diameters, pullers of suspension springs, etc.

MSG Equipment produces a highly specialized MS20001 puller for dismounting the Mercedes W221 ball joints. Its application provides quick and safe access to the shock absorber when dismounting from the car. And the price of this puller is much lower than the price of a similar tool from the official manufacturer.

Pay your attention as well  to the vice MS20002. You can reliably fix the shock absorber or steering rack with it and, if necessary, rotate them around its own axis. The position and fixing of the units is controlled by two screws.

What tools are used to repair brake calipers?

When the mechanic’s task is to dismantle and rebuild brake calipers, it is important for him to understand that these parts contain components that can be damaged if improperly dismantled.

To safely repair the brake caliper of the car, MSG Equipment engineers have developed two devices:

MS30001 is used for mounting and dismounting of the lever brake basket. This tool is suitable for compressing the spring and fixing the locking ring without damaging the brake cylinder mirror.

MS30002 is used for mounting the lever brake basket. When installing the brake caliper basket, insert it into this device, place in the caliper and open in the mounting seat. Thus the mirror of the brake cylinder remains undamaged.

These devices are completely unique.

Tools used for mounting and disassembling of steering racks

The choice of tools used in servicing the steering mechanisms is quite wide. First of all, these are wrenches for removing and winding nuts of various diameters, pullers for hubs and pulleys, different fittings.

If the car workshop specialist deals with such steering rack faults as leak, play, ring wear, he knows perfectly that it is very difficult to get the broken seal from the steering rack shaft. To facilitate this process and to protect the unit hydraulic cylinder from mechanical damage, we have developed the seal extractor MS00058. And for quick and safe mounting of new oil seals in the hydraulic cylinder use the tool MS00030. Besides, there are a lot of power steering pulley removal tools in our product line.

When deciding which tool is relevant for the service center, pay attention to the recognition of the trademark, the quality of the instrument, warranty conditions, customer reviews.
