Sykes Pickavant 18782500 Hydraulic Upgrade Kit for 08780000 is a universal system that converts compatible press and pull sleeve kits into powerful hydraulic setups. Designed for the removal and installation of suspension bushes, bearings and seals on cars, LCVs and HGVs, it replaces manual spindle effort with up to 12 tonnes of controlled hydraulic force when used with components from 08780000 or 08797500. The kit includes a hollow ram hydraulic cylinder, alignment washer and two extra‑long heavy‑duty spindles rated specifically for hydraulic use. These parts allow technicians to press or pull components by turning opposing nuts while the cylinder delivers smooth axial force. Compatible with standard workshop presses, the Sykes Pickavant universal press frame and large C clamps, the 18782500 is ideal for workshops seeking to upgrade existing sleeve kits to handle tougher, more heavily corroded applications.
