Developed by a time-served mechanic for Laser Tools. When combined with a traditional gearbox jack the patented Laser 8579 simplifies gearbox removal and fitting by supporting the gearbox from above. It does this by attaching to a traditional vertical gearbox jack and providing a specially shaped arm that goes up the side of the gearbox to give an attachment point to hang the support strap and chains supplied. Because the gearbox is hanging from the support it is much easier to manoeuvre both in and out of position. The Laser Transmission Support Arm turns a gearbox jack from an underneath support into a much more stable over the top support while still maintaining the ability to work from underneath. Patent: PCT/GB2021/052235.
Universal applications, can be used in tight engine bays & transmission tunnels, including: Citroën Berlingo Van, Fiat 500, Ford Fiesta, Focus, KA & Kuga, MINI, Honda Civic, Honda CRV, Hyundai I32, Land Rover Defender, Nissan Navara (with transfer), Peugeot 207 & 208, Renault Trafic, Renault Captur, Vauxhall Vivaro, Volvo XC90, VW Touran, VW Tiguan, VW Golf.
Provides dramatic time reductions in the removal and replacement of the gearboxes.
Significantly improved stability requiring only one person and hands free operation - to support the engine while removing the gearbox Laser recommend using Part No. 8655 Vertical Transmission Jack, 5750 engine support and 4842 support beam.
The benefits of having it suspended from above allows you to move the gear box through all three axes of movement making the removal and replacement easier, quicker and safer.
