OEMTOOLS 27213 Master Wheel Hub & Bearing Remover & Installer Kit, Back & Front Wheel Bearing Removal Tool, Back & Front Wheel Hub Removal Tool, Easy to Use

Worked flawlessly on a 99 accord, rusted wheel hub and bearing came out like nobody's business. Product instruction material was very clear on how to properly use tool, and straightforward. Tool construction felt pretty beefy, unlike others I've used (suppose u get wat u pay for). One thing is clear, don't use an impact as the thrust bearing will fail sooner than intended, bearing is probably not rated for that kind of abuse. (Although, u can and could work, but manual says not to per manufacturer instructions). Hub extraction: Was super easy, the need for swearing wasn't required or needed, nothing but joy. Bearing extraction: The key here is to ensure when using this tool, take ur time in lining it up straight and level before u start cranking on it (be patient, it'll be worth it). This is the part that took some learning, having to use the horseshoe adapters (d,e or f). It definitely helped in providing a solid backing for the tool to rest on the knuckle and align it for bearing extraction. Used a 3ft breaker bar attached to socket, once u break the initial contact and hear the popping sound as the bearing comes out, u can switch to a 1/2in ratchet and you're home free from there (literally 10 minutes) out it went. Looking back the hardest part was removing that darn C-clip, was rusted in there purty good. On a side note I did try tool with an impact, and it worked pretty darn well. Just know that continued use in this way will surely end up replacing thrust bearing sooner than expected.

Awesome tool. Already paid for itself and made bearing job a breeze

Hello, I bought this kit to change the wheel bearings on a 2014 Mercedes C300. The claim is that you can do it while the knuckle is still in the car, this would have been very hard for this car and i did not try. The process is two steps 1. pull the hub from the inner race of the bearing. 2. pull the bearing from the knuckle and reverse to install. Make sure you grease the threads. (use high pressure grease). You will have a strong urge to use an impact.. don't. ( I did use an impact to pull the hubs into the new bearings , breaking my rule) Removal: 1. Pulling the hub from the bearing is less difficult of the two , but still the included thrust bearing failed on the first pull (its the picture). I used extra thick flat washers with grease as a temporary fix (I bought an INA AKL.D7 thrust bearing as a replacement) Using the U-collar and some shims I was able to get purchase on the knuckles to pull the hubs. (rear are a bit easier as the bearing assemblies bolt into the knuckles) . the kit instruction graphics show the hub being pulled direct by the puller nut, don't do this use a puller plate or you can damage your splines. (at least for mine) 2. The OD of the C300 bearing (front) is 90mm the kit does not have a sleeve that large, but I had one from another kit to pull the bearing into. Clean the exposed knuckle bore where the retaining ring sits. heat the knuckle with propane. I put the knuckle in a bench vice to hold it while cranking the bearings out It took a lot of force to pull the bearing (big guy pulling hard on a 3 ft pipe on a breaker bar) The puller did not show any signs of abuse. Installation: Watch your alignment.... 2. The kit did not have a puller plate large enough to pull on the out race of the new bearings (about 85mm or so) I used the puller sleeve (part "U") as the pressing ring. Because it was too large for the bore I turned it down a bit on a lathe. Always pull on the race getting pressed, don't transfer the force from the inner to the outer race. Going in was a bit easier than pulling out. 1. Pulling the hubs in went pretty easy. Be careful to pull from the inner race of the bearings or it will risk popping apart... watch your splines. Good luck,

Removed and install wheel bearings and hubs on Honda S2000. Recommend a 27mm box wrench and 24mm socket with breaker bar for use with this tool. (See photo of hub install for illustration) Relatively straightforward instructions that took little time to choose the correct parts of the tool to assemble in the right order to perform the different operations. Worked to remove the hubs and the wheel bearing without any issue. Having a large 27mm wrench for the back screw and a long breaker bar for the 24 mm socket to break the parts free made it possible to apply plenty of leverage/torque. Did not resort to impact or power tools as the manufacturer specifies. Install was smooth and encountered no issues overall.

Bought this to replace press in front wheel bearings for a 2014 Ford Edge. The kit is very well made and should stand up to several jobs. However, for my application, it lacked some of the bushings and backing plates to fully disassemble the hubs. There was no way to fully extract the spindle because the 1&1/16" backing nut was too small and just slid into the axle hole. The included backing plates were too big and bottomed out in the stepped spindle. However, the hardware was useful for setting things up with my shop press. I bought this because of the promise of not needing to remove the spindle from the vehicle. However, even with the right plates, I think it was easier to just remove the spindle anyway. An air chisel/hammer is your big friend on these jobs. At least for a 2014 Ford Edge. I kept the kit for the plates and bushings to use with the hydraulic shop press.

My pressure screw is under size and the thrust bearing just falls off. The bearing should be stress fit as to make the race rotate with forcing screw. It 7/8" threads and under cut to 3/4" on the shank why? The should send me a new shaft,the photo of this the bearing fits correct. The one I got does not have a chance to survive. Do I weld up a3/4 of inch and turn it down to 0.876 .surely I am not the only one with this problem. People would of be sending them back for failing. I know all the though from a engineer put in to these he would not made this mistake. Manufacture made the mistake. I will be waiting for this correction

Worked for a rear wheel bearing/hub on a 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLK 350. Seems like a solid kit for the price. I purchased kit 37342.

The product came with all components. Some comments said that the pieces are oily. I notice that the steel have the same consistency of gun metal. For those of us that own guns should know that that type of metal need to be clean and oiled to protect from rust. I recommend using this tool with an air impact wrench as shown in the company’s video. I promise it works. This product work for most bearings out there. As far as wheel hub removal, Kia’s and Hyundai have a dust guard that protects the bearing from contaminants but makes it rather difficult to insert the tool to extract the hub. You will need another tool unless you want to bend the guard in order to get the tool in there. This tool has saved a bunch of time in my relate jobs not needing to remove the knuckle from the suspension of any vehicle. Definitely a thumbs up for this product!!!
