For a bearing tamer, wrestler, or wrangler, this price is great. It seems like the size selection has been good We have used it twice, the most notable time being for some obstinate front wheel bearings of a Honda Civic. If you do this job with the hub on the car, it will save you the time of getting an alignment afterward. Slide the hammer off the spindle, find the right combination of cups and plates for wrenching out the bearings and races. I don't think this kit is going to address the inner race on the spindle, but I just buy new bearings when I buy a spindle. (There will never be enough lip on the race to grab it. It would be possible to cut a notch in it with a cutoff wheel, but I haven't had to do that yet. Here is my only complaint, which is actually typical of these kits, even the more expensive It doesn't take long for the washers to wear out. In short, they serve as a bearing surface between the forcing bolt and the plate or cup and they serve as a sacrifice. They are not too expensive, so I would go to the hardware store and buy a few. The video I saw on youtube shows a pro using a bearing, but I don't use it every day to make it worthwhile. My recommendation, no suggestion is that you apply good moly grease to the forcing screw and the Hit the cups with a hammer when they become stuck to pop them For this reason, I lowered my star rating by one star.
It took me half a dozen messages to convince me that you must take apart the strut and the knuckle in order to remove the old bearing / install a new one. I can confirm you do not need a press with A slide hammer with a hub puller is the only other item you might need to buy, as this kit cannot help with pulling the hub out of the bearing, but once you have it out you can pull the old bearing out and insert the new one using this tool.

You better have an overview of what you are doing simply because there are no instructions with this kit. Voici some tips and reminders Make sure to oil the bolt very well in order to avoid chewing up the threads. Also, make sure not to push on the bearing with the flat side of your There is no evidence of wear on the threads of my bolt after completing one bearing.
It was a factor of you all being happy and me in need of fixing our Honda that I managed to purchase this. While I was checking it all out and I had the retaining nut in place I had to put the bolt in. after about 2 turns, and I tried cleaning up the thread a bit, but I could not get it to work. In this instance then, I've ordered another to see if the same issue exists in the manufacture. Hope it doesn't because this will be our last chance to get our car fixed. Other than that, it seems like it is a super product.
Xtreme product that worked like a charm to remove a pair of front wheel bearings from a 1999 Volkswagen Beetle. As for installation, it was also easy as long as you were patient and used the correct sizes. Any one who stripped the threads on the bolt was either not using an anti-rust coating or wasn't using enough of it There was either a seize on the threads or too large a puller, which will strip the threads since it won't move through the knuckle. After setting the correct size I had to remove most of my screws with very little torque.
I also liked the price, and the item worked well. A Milwaukee M18 Impact and a ratchet were all I needed to do this which worked perfectly. I removed and reinstalled the aforementioned wheel bearings on a 2002 Dodge Neon with almost no effort. Make sure you lubricate the bolt with grease before each use, just like you would if you were using any other unit. It is reported that some customers had broken their bolts after purchasing this and other kits like it. If you lube the bolt beforehand, it will help to prevent.
The kit I bought to replace the bad wheel bearing on my Kia Optima worked well. This kit was described as a screw press kit for taking out old bearings and replacing them with new ones, which is what I did. The old bearing came out by screw pressing, but even with a cheater bar it was absurdly difficult. It failed while I was trying to turn the nut on the other end, I broke the $20 cast iron vise holding the bolt head. In an attempt to prevent further damage to my vise, I smashed the press plates with a 3 pound hammer instead of using As I said, this method worked better than the one I used previously, and it will be the method I use going forward. As a result, here's what the review has to say Press plates are hammered by the hammer, but the screws are not hammered by the screw press.
Using this tool, I was able to remove and replace the front wheel bearing with no difficulty. (Some suggest not using an electric impact wrench, but I used an electric impact wrench) and the project All my questions and concerns have been addressed. Due to the fact that I don't use it every day, I can't comment on how it performs in Located at a remote location in the West End of Vancouver, BC.
Last year, the suspension on a be 328 was overhauled. The tool worked well and held up well when removing some stubborn bushings and wheel bearings. The forcing screw does not show any signs of excessive wear. The adapter kit that I chose was well made with various adapter sizes, but I did purchase an additional adapter kit as a.
