The ESCO Bearing Cap Installer – Heavy Duty (Model 40325) is designed to simplify and speed up universal joint service by installing two bearing caps at the same time. Built for light- and medium-duty driveline applications, this tool provides an efficient, controlled way to seat bearing caps evenly without damaging the yoke or joint components.
A precision-machined force screw delivers smooth, steady pressure to the first cap while a built-in plunger allows immediate installation of the second cap—no tool changes required. A magnetic retainer keeps the opposite cap securely positioned during setup, ensuring accurate alignment and reducing the chance of misaligned needle bearings.
Constructed from heavy-duty steel and engineered for consistent shop use, the ESCO 40325 provides reliable performance for professional technicians who demand speed, precision, and repeatable results.
