I don't know about the smaller ones but the large black bearing separator works pretty damn well. Never used the puller part though.

Good to know about the larger one. I blew up the picture, and the casting looked questionable, and a Big old "China" staring at me.
But I just might pick one up.
I am probably going to be getting the 3 ton arbor press I spoke of in another post, so I
am thinking about some accessories.

Is it this one?

Must not be,
I did the job with no special tools. Well, the only "special" tool I used is found in your plumbing department.

Same guy but the second time he had to replace them he bought the HF tools! '
downloading now.
thanks,
I've got the kit the OP mentions. Have had it about 3 months so far. Use it at least once a week in industrial environments. No issues so far. It was on sale and I used a 25% off coupon to bring the price down further.
Good to know, thanks,

Almost what he had to do.
I think I would rather just pull the nuckel and press the bearing in and out.
But it's pretty slick how he did it.

We have that kit at work. Haven't used the puller, but used the separator a few times and it works just fine.

i have to wonder re; the bearing only lasting 20,000 miles. If he did not apply pressure to the inner race, instead of the outer only when sucking the bearing in.
If that did not possibly lead to the bearing failing. Maybe not, hard to tell just where the force was applied.

I have to pick up the arbor press tomorrow, maybe I will stop at the Robinson Twp. HF on the way home.

Possibly not doing it correctly or like he said it was an inferior quality bearing.

why I would rather pull the knuckle and use the press. I can apply pressure right to the outer race when pressing the bearing in.
Then when pressing the hub in, I can support the inner race while pressing into the inner race.
