Fast, in situ hub bush removal and fitting for BMW 5, 6, 7 & X5 — no suspension arm or subframe dismantling
Thursday 11 December 2025
New to the Laser Tools’ comprehensive and trusted range of vehicle specific bush tools, the 9209 Rear Hub Bush Tool Kit, a vehicle-specific solution engineered so technicians can remove and fit the lower rear suspension hub (rose) joint on a range of BMW models without taking off suspension arms, subframes or carrying out heavy strip-down. Designed for in situ use, the 9209 saves time, reduces workshop downtime and avoids the additional labour, alignment work and risk associated with major disassembly.
Built to the kind of exacting standards technicians expect from Laser, the kit matches OEM form and function (see equivalents below) and is intended for professional commercial workshops, independent BMW specialists and experienced mobile technicians.
Why technicians will want the 9209:
- True time-saver: remove and install the rear hub rose joint while the assembly remains on the vehicle — big reduction in labour versus full disassembly.
- Vehicle-specific accuracy: purpose designed to suit the structural layout of the covered BMW chassis, making the job quicker and safer.
- Minimises follow-up work: avoiding removal of subframes and arms reduces the likelihood of needing re-alignment or additional refit work.
- Robust, repeatable: engineered for workshop use with durable components and correct fitment profiles to protect mating surfaces and new parts.

Fitters can approach hub rose joint replacement as a single, contained operation: position the tool, liberate the worn joint, press out and replace the hub bush/ball joint and reassemble — all while keeping the majority of the suspension in place. This greatly reduces turnaround on common rear suspension repairs and is particularly valuable in busy commercial workshops and dealer-level service bays.
