KBB:V & KBU:Z frames require special hydraulic torque tools for disassembly & re-assembly. These special tools are available as an option and should be included as an option in the proposal. Special tools are priced and scoped separately to allow the purchase of these based upon having one set per location. A list of special tools is made available in the Ariel performance software.
These special tools include:
Hydraulic Piston Nut torque tool
Hydraulic Balance Nut torque tool
Hydraulic Main / Conn Rod torque tool
Hydraulic Stud tensioner (optional)
Hydraulic pumps, manual, electric or pneumatic
Hydraulic tools can be used on the smaller frames, but are considered optional as manual hand tools can be used. A full list of the optional, recommended and required tools are listed in the Ariel performance software for each frame.
We encourage the review and inclusion of any necessary special tools in the initial purchase of larger compressor frames.
Further information on Special Tools can be found on the Ariel website within the Maintenance and Repair Manuals.
