A buddy needs a new wheel for his 05 RK I have one off an 01 RK I'm going to give him but I need to change the bearings from a 3/4 to 1" axle.I called the dealer for the puller in the service manual I'm always looking for reason to buy new tools but $310 is a bit pricey for something I may only use a few times is there any cheaper alternatives out there I would like to buy one but I'm also tight and don't want spend much thanks

At $190, it's not a lot cheaper but his tools are awesome. Even cheaper would be to take the wheels to an indy mechanic and let them change the bearings.

 

Here's what I bought.

Whenever I need to pull late model bearings I "borrow" the puller from Auto Zone. They take a credit card imprint for the value of the kit, but tear it up when you return the tool.

 

Here is what I bought. Looks familiar don't it? Identical to the Harley tool. $120.00 to the door. I do my bearings every 30K. I figure my life is worth it.
