“Through our interactions at the distributor and repair shop level, we consistently hear the need for manufacturers to provide training,” said Barry Harris, global manager of marketing, cataloging and strategy for the Timken automotive and commercial vehicle aftermarket. “We introduced our Timken Tech Series more than five years ago, and it continues to be well received at the installer level and at vocational schools. The training, which has become more comprehensive through the years, provides fundamental knowledge delivered by industry experts to help the installer become more proficient in bearing and seal maintenance and troubleshooting.”
The interactive, multi-media Timken Tech Series features seven training modules which provide registrants product basics, handling, removal, installation and troubleshooting for various types of bearings, seals and lubrication.
