Default Wheel Bearing Installation Tools

On installing the wheel bearings and all on my 08 FLHX,m 25Mm type bearings. New chrome job on stock rims.
What special tool is involved there?
I see that Geroges has a tool #740010for bearing installation and removal.
I didnt want to fork over that amount. Is there another way to do it properly?
Or am I just out ofluck in that regard.

Would THIS work for ya? Since you don't have ABS you don't need to worry about knocking the snot out of the encoders

Dowg, good one but one even cheaper if you need to get them out ($0.50) X 2 + Tax @ Home Depot (the other HD)

You can press them in with adding Never-Seize to the bearings to let them slide in & use a socket.

Me, I have a Jim's tool @ $265. & would never use the above stuff.

Yup, Dynabolts. Those are the ***** for removing, I didn't know how he would do installing them though. But like I said he doesn't have ABS so he doesn't need to be careful of those pesky encoders in the bearings

Theres also a flat spacer looks pressed in on the inside of one wheel bearing.

are you talking about the black protective Delrin seal? There should be no washer that I know about. I have not had a 08 apart yet.
