Default wheel bearing tool

dont want to sound like im promoting but if anyone is on the fence about getting a wheel bearing installer/removal tool i bought the one off amazon i think it was like 99.00 not sure of the part# but its on there it worked actually better than expected and the quality is good plus the price is way better than the harley tool so if u dont feel like or know how to make one from one rider/mechanic to another i would buy this one again this is just my own opinion

$99.00? Dang, you got ripped. I bought the one in the link when it first came available and it has worked flawlessly. I have used it numerous times and have loaned it out 14 times and it's still going strong. I used a 20% off coupon on top of the $44.00 price tag.

the one on amazon is a copy of the jims and harley tool.... it pulls the bearings, rather than hammer them... its the proper tool for the job..has worked flawlessly for me.. I paid way to much for my wheels to beat on them lol...

Good point but I don't see how you would beat on a wheel using a blind hole puller. It grabs behind the bearing and you just bump it out with the slide hammer. But then again, if someone has no idea how to use it then I guess I could see them beating up their wheels. Those are the kind of people that are better off paying someone to do it for them.

Apology: I forgot it is also an installation tool. So, $100.00 is a great deal.

if you freeze them with freon they can almost be pulled out with fingers
