8MILELAKE 23pcs Front Wheel Drive Bearing Tool Wheel Bearing Press Kit for Front Wheel Drive Bearing Removal or Installation

Great price for a bearing tamer/grappler/wrangler. Size selection has been right so far. Have used it a couple times, most notably for some obstinate Honda Civic front wheel bearings. You can use this to do this job with the hub on the car, so you don't have to get an alignment afterward. Slide hammer off the spindle, find the right combo of cups and plates to wrench out the bearing and race. This kit isn't going to deal with the inner race on the spindle, but I just buy a new spindle when I'm buying bearings. (There's never enough lip to grab the race. I could cut a notch in it with a cutoff wheel, but so far not had to try it.) My only complaint is actually typical of these kits, even the pricier ones: the washers get chewed up pretty quickly. They act as a bearing surface between the forcing bolt and the plate or cup and they are sacrificial. I would go to the hardware store and buy a few, since they are cheap. I saw a pro on youtube who uses an actual bearing but I'm not using it every day to make it worth it. I recommend, no suggest, a good moly grease on the forcing screw and washer. When the cups get stuck, hit them with a hammer and they pop out. That's why I'm knocking one star for ease of removal.

The variety of plates, sizes, collars will allow this to be used on many makes and models. I used it in my 2013 Lexus 350 to change a noisy front wheel bearing. The old ones were really stuck and I used a cheater bar on my 1/2 drive breaker bar, the screw and the nut held up well under severe use. I can see no damage to the threads or the nut.The case is well laid out with a spot for each part. The catches are not the best and one of mine came broken. This is not a problem on a seldomly used tool. This is a good buy..

Has enough variety of sizes to press most bushings in and out. The screw is pretty thick and may not fit in all suspension bushings though. Well built.

Bought last year for a suspension overhaul on be 328.Worked great, and held up well removing some very stubborn wheel bearings and bushings. Saw no undue wear in the forcing screw.Nice range of different sized adapters, but I did buy an additional adapter kit to complement.

well people i bought this on the facts of you all being happy and I needed to fix our honda.. But as I was checking it all out and put the bolt in the large retaining nut.. It stopped in like 2 turns And I tried to clean up the thread some and still no luck.. So at this time I ordered another one to see if the same issue was in MFG ,, Hope it is not so I can get our car done.. But the rest seem to be great product..

I've used this type of tool for most of my career. I bought this set to use at home instead of taking the one from the shop. The drive bolt is made from very soft metal. Any torque put to the bolt will strip it. Avoid!!

I read the reviews about others destroying the threads. I think it was user error due to using an impact or mega cheater bar. If you take your time and slowly tighten…you will have zero issues. I was able to complete 3 wheel bearing with no problems.

I have only done one wheel bearing so far with this kit on a 99 saturn coupe but it worked perfectly. After listening to half a dozen people tell me "you're never gonna get the old bearing out/get a new one in without removing that knuckle or the whole strut assembly and taking it somewhere with a press" I can tell you you definitely don't need a press if you have this kit. The only other thing you might have to invest in is a slide hammer with a hub puller, as this kit cannot help you pull the hub out of the bearing, but once the hub is out you can turn the old bearing out and get the new one in with this. There are no instructions with this kit so simple as it is you better have a rough understanding of what you are doing if you are thinking of tackling a wheel bearing at home. Some tips/reminders: oil the bolt really well so you don't chew up the threads, and don't push on a bearing with the flat side of a drift plate. After doing one bearing the threads on my bolt don't show any wear.
