10 reasons to switch to a Geographe rear strut colleted pin assembly

Significant reduction in component removal time resulting in labour savings and reduced machine downtime
Reduction of high-risk/hot works associated with thermal lancing during pin removal
Elimination of tyre handling/removal required when performing hot works near rubber tyres
Eliminates the use of hardened steel hammers
Reduced risk of damage to mating frame using conventional methods of bush removal (heat application or cutting)
Fits directly into standard Komatsu bores. The lower stepped bore can remain and does not require further machining
Complete interchangeability allows for full oscillation & movement of the spherical bearing as per the standard Komatsu arrangement
Is a multi-bolt design which ensures the collets pull up evenly and securely
Invert taper design generates a self-wedging effect
Jacking screw holes are incorporated in each collet. The same bolts used to hold the collets are used in the jacking holes when releasing the collets
