front runner quick release tent Front Runner Quick Release Tent Mount Kit (4 mounts) – The OverlandersA great idea and well executed by the folk at Front Runner. This set can be used to quickly release the tent from a platform rack or load bars. Solidly made, we've set up quite a few of these and they work well. This is the 4 piece kit which should be paired with an Autohome channel set. You'll also need the reinforcing Hard Shell Tent Support Channels to make it all work. We strongly suggest pairing the set up, if you can with the Box Lift hoist

A great idea and well executed by the folk at Front Runner. This set can be used to quickly release the tent from a platform rack or load bars. Solidly made, we've set up quite a few of these and they work well. 


This is the 4-piece kit which should be paired with an Autohome channel set. You'll also need the reinforcing Hard Shell Tent Support Channels to make it all work. 


We strongly suggest pairing the set-up, if you can with the Box Lift hoist system - if you have the space to fit your vehicle with tent on it into a garage or carport this certainly makes light work of the job. 

 

These raise the tent up a bit, off the rack, which also gives you the vertical space you need to mount a range of accessories to the side rail of the roof rack, so that's an extra bonus to using the quick release system. Such accessories includes the awesome Front Runner table which is in itself a good reason for using the system.

  

What Front Runner have to say:

 

Do you have limited garage clearance? Maybe you just don’t want to keep the tent on your vehicle at all times. Front Runner's Quick Release Tent Mount Kit gives you the freedom to mount or remove the tent in seconds, and with no tools. The 4 lockable latches give you safety and added peace of mind.

  • Once these brackets are installed on a Front Runner Rack, no tools are needed to remove or install a roof top tent.
  • Simply release the tabs on the 4 latches and lift the tent away.
  • This strong and rattle-free mounting system is built off-road tough for use with Front Runner Racks.
  • 4 low profile base brackets are bolted to a Front Runner Rack while 4 self-aligning bushes are secured to the tent base channels using the supplied plates.
  • Secures in place with 4 latches with safety catches. 
  • The brackets are small, unobtrusive and can be left on the roof rack when the tent is not mounted.
  • No tent modification required.
  • Removed tents can be stored on the ground, raised slightly off the floor by the supplied steel bushes.
  • Supplied with all required mounting hardware.
  • Fitting instructions are included.

Worked for Volvo Penta SX Gimbal Bearing
Very heavy tool, I was surprised. Pulled my bearing like it was nothing. Putting the new bearing in was a little more difficult as you have to drill a hole in the engine alignment shaft where it will work for your particular outdrive. Not hard, but it does not come pre-drilled as the required depth for each particular gimbal bearing differs by manufacturer and model. Measure your bearing placement before removal and check that it was installed correctly in the first place. The bearing should line up with the grease fitting and the o-rings on the drive shaft should end up riding in the middle of the bearing. once you have your measurement drill the hole, I used a drill press. I suppose you could use it on multiple outdrive models as long as you can drill more holes.

Great value
This kit worked perfectly on my Alpha one mercury outdrive. I saw a lot of people mention that it was a hassle to drill the hole when you better have all this alignment stuff. I threw it in use my regular drill drill guide and then the second hole was lined up. Pulling Gimble be very easy. I did have to adjust it up at an angle because my bearing was sitting in their crooked and it came out the second time I made the adjustment to the angle. I would highly recommend this.

Unfinished product - doesn't work - waste of money
in order to use this as an installation tool the directions tell you to drill a hole through the 2 inch steel rod..... either this hole should already be drilled, or this should not be advertised as an installation tool..... it will not install any bearings without extensive modification and requires the use of a drill press or a lathe. very dissatisfied that I now have to buy ANOTHER tool just to finish this job because this one doesn't do what it's described to do.... piece of junk... typical amazon garbage.... this is why I haven't used amazon in over a year... they rip you off with garbage.... I should have known better .... don't buy this junk .... Now they say 20 -30 days to get my refund .... Don't waste your time

Good tool, but must be hand drilled to accept bearing installation cup
Good tool, but you have to drill a hole in the bearing installation rod to accept the cross bolt that locks the bearing installation cup onto the rod.
