RPM introduce the Mega Bearing Blaster for ball races with an inner diameter of up to 32mm. Ideal for the bearings used in engines, large-scale vehicles and more, the tool builds on the original RPM Bearing Blaster. To clean or re-lube bearings simply remove their outer shields, place the bearing on the centre cone of the base and replace the top. Then take a can of cleaner or lubricant, slip the spray tube in the top of the Mega Bearing Blaster, hold it down and give it a blast. The tool isolates the bearing in a contained environment, making it the safest way to forcefully blast debris from your bearings by preventing back-splash of cleaners and lubricants from hitting your hands and/or face. The RPM Mega Bearing Blaster works on bearings with a minimum inside diameter of 3/16” (5mm) and a maximum outside diameter of 1.25” (32mm).
