The Carmax CXD-1062 is a driver set for fitting bearings, bushes and seals, with 49 adaptors covering diameters from 18 to 65 mm in one-millimetre steps plus a 74 mm adaptor. The fine steps let the adaptor be matched exactly to the outer diameter of the bearing or seal, so force spreads evenly across the whole outer race instead of driving it in at an angle.
The adaptors fit onto a 225 mm driver handle, and with the 45 mm extension the set also reaches bearings seated deep in a hub or housing. The 48 adaptors from 18 to 65 mm are 12 mm thick, and the 74 mm adaptor is 15 mm.
The set works two ways: with a hammer on the driver for fitting by hand, or as adaptors in a hydraulic workshop press for pressing bearings, bushes and pins in and out. Everything comes in a case with a fixed place for each part, and a hex key is included.
Why mechanics choose a driver set in 1 mm steps
Because the wrong diameter ruins the bearing. A driver that is too small pushes on the inner race or cage and damages the bearing during fitting; one that is too large jams in the housing. With adaptors at every millimetre from 18 to 65 mm, the right size is available for most bearings and seals in wheel hubs, gearboxes, driveshafts and electric motors, and the same set works at the bench and in the press.
Applications for the driver set
The set is used for wheel bearing replacement, fitting shaft seals and oil seals, pressing bushes into control arms and suspension mounts, and bearing replacement in gearboxes, electric motors and pumps. It belongs in car workshops, machine shops, motorcycle workshops and agricultural workshops.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does the Carmax CXD-1062 cover every bearing size between 18 and 74 mm?
No. The adaptors run in 1 mm steps from 18 to 65 mm, followed only by a single 74 mm adaptor. Bearings and seals with an outer diameter of 66 to 73 mm have no exact match, nor does anything above 74 mm. Measure the bearing's outer diameter before starting and choose the adaptor just below it — for bearings in the 66–73 mm gap the 65 mm adaptor can often be used on the outer race, though with a smaller contact area.
Can the Carmax CXD-1062 be used in a hydraulic workshop press?
Yes. The adaptors serve as press adaptors for pressing bearings, bushes and pins in and out. Place the adaptor against the bearing's outer race and let the ram push on the adaptor, not directly on the bearing. Build pressure gradually and check the adaptor sits flat, since the 12 mm discs can tip if loaded off-centre.
What separates the Carmax CXD-1062 from a press pin set?
Where the force goes. A pin set has narrow pins that push bolts and pins out through a bore. The CXD-1062 has broad adaptors in 49 diameters from 18 to 74 mm that spread force across the whole outer race of a bearing or seal, so it goes in straight without damage. The set can also be used with a hammer and no press at all. The two sets complement rather than replace each other.
