Be Aware of incorrect Pit Posse Instructions (but they may have changed them by now). Their blanket statement to always install the left bearing first "Doesn't fly"

...unless you have a sportster

It would be better to follow:
- Install the first bearing in the Brake Rotor side of wheel.
- If there are two brake rotors then install first bearing in Left side of wheel

Thanks for posting this here also. Be easier to find for reference!

Add a NICE 603 1/4V bearing for the installer for about $10 more and you've got yourself the same setup as a Jim's bearing tool for less than 1/3 the price. I'd use the Jim's instructions also.

I use a "NICE" bearing under both the "Installer" and "Remover"
