Blind bearing puller sets HF vs ?? vs ?? advice?

[1982fxr]

I was looking at the HF one and wondering if anyone makes something very similar and in the same price range but better quality. It would rarley get used so i don't want to spend much.

Also, the puller sets do not help with installation, correct?

For that price? Doubt it.

Have you had trouble with the HF set? I rented the autozone set which looks very very similar to the HF one but it was a Powerbuilt brand. I used it to remove a pilot bearing in a VW TDI and it worked very well. I don't bother buying a tool like this for such occasional use when I can rent it free.

for about $40.00 more you can get the OTC version

I haven't had any problems with the harbor freight version. It does the job. No complaints.

Your second question. No they do not install bearings/bushings. I use a Sunex 3920 kit or a Neiko bushing driver set for this:

It's even cheaper on Amazon.

I've had the HF set for 10+ years. I don't use it a lot but it's worked fine when needed. THe OTC set looks the same as HF less the case. All of my OTC pullers are Taiwan so don't expect USA.
