It would make sense to expect that but when you start looking at it, it’s no slam dunk. The Icon breaker bar is roughly 25% to quoted cost of the Snap On breaker bar. A 19 piece flank drive set from Snappy is $800, so would that make the Icon set $200? The 18 piece WrightGrip set runs around...
I’m a home gamer and don’t necessarily need to drop a bunch of coin but if the difference is only going to be $30, I’ll spring for the Wright Grips.

If the old bearing is still in one piece, you might consider a bearing seperator like this (or an OTC version, or maybe see if one of the auto...
Metlmunchr, so much good information!! Thank you! I missed that the clearance designations were for the clearance befween the balls and races, makes sense.
The original bearing is chinesium so I was hoping to upgrade the bearing with a known brand as doing so will be even cheaper than replacing the mandrel shaft as a unit. For replacement parts, the bearing and mandrel shaft are sold as a unit with the bearing pressed on, similarly the one I took...
So the munchkins left a reel of fishing line out in the yard which I of course noticed right before it was sucked under the deck. I was reaching for the PTO disengage when it went under. Nonetheless, the fishing line was wrapped tightly around one of the mandrel shafts. I took the mandrel...
