what would it cost if you took the wheel down to your dealer and got him to do it. he could possiably see if there is an underlying problem or faulty bearings

motionpro has a proper installation tool about $90-$100, the rest dont work. others will chime in with some home made tools, threaded rod, wing nuts etc.

i use this... its a clone of the jims tool... works fantastic at pulling and installing the sealed bearings..theres really no better way to pull these types of bearings than with a tool like this.... be sure to coat the the outside of the bearing and the place it presses into with some grease or antiseize before installing it... makes the bearings go in nice and smooth... average labor price I found for someone else to replace the bearings in my rims was 60-80 bux... thats with the rims off the bike... so this tool payed for intself the very first use...
