Amazing resource - the technology involved is awesome. Makes you cringe when you compare the tools shown in the FAG link to a guy on You Tube using a pilot bearing extractor to remove an IMSB !Many of us are stuck in the" adjustable wrench will do" era of mechanics and this link shows how woefully behind we are.

Hello Gelbster,
the tools and technology shown in this document are old school. Think the brochure itself is from the 70/80ties. Today you use digital measurement tools. Shurely the bearings description is updated in 2013.
For example for a pro extractor:
In todays world you would use induction to heat the IMS tube with induction within milliseconds to a temperature where you don't harm the integritiy of the metal and than pull the bearing by a clamp mechanism on the outer race so you don't run into problems to jam up the bearing in the tube. The process itself cculd be completely automated by a micro controller. Also you could make shure that the tool works extreme precisely concerning geometrical precision.
