Orion Motor Tech Wheel Bearing Puller Tool Set for Front Wheel Drive Bearing Removal & Installation, 24pc Automotive Bearing Press Kit with Sliding Screws Universal Bushings Sleeves Storage Case, Red

Bought this after reading through the reviews of a few puller kits, and as this one seemed to have the best ratio of positive to negative experiences, I decided to give it a go. Needed to press out a 97mm rear bearing on a Mercedes Vito van, so the kit had its work cut out for it! On first look, the quality of the pieces was surprisingly decent for the price…well finished, and nicely packaged. In use, the component pieces worked very well and were sufficiently robust to do the job…couple of turns with a long breaker bar got the bearing moving, and then wound it out the rest of the way with a long handled ratchet. Everything worked exactly as it should, with no issues apart from the washers being a little soft as others have mentioned…although despite being a bit marred from the nut, they would go again fine!As far as the main bolt thread quality is concerned, there isn’t a mark on it and all the threads are still perfect so I would be willing to bet the bad reviews of this component are down to the user ignoring the clear instructions to not use an impact gun…user error basically! Using hand tools as directed, it’s more than up to the task!For a home DIY spanner monkey, I’d happily recommend this set to anyone considering it…it’s a fraction of the price of a ‘professional’ version, but performs its task very well. 5 stars

I viewed changing the front wheel bearing on my Suzuki Swift with trepidation. The bearing had been in its housing for seventeen years and like most casual mechanics, I haven't access to a press.....the obvious tool for removing and fitting a new bearing. Therefore this was the reason for purchasing this kit.The kit comes in its own moulded plastic case and is quite heavy. There are many different sizes of collars and drive plates. The threaded spigot is substantial and the elongated nut requires a large spanner (not included) to pull or press the bearing into place. It's quite straightforward to use and good value for money for what you get. The only downside to its purchase is how many times does one change a wheel bearing? Whatever, I certainly couldn't have done the job without it.

For this price it’s so handy, used it twice, did a great job

Needed to press out 2 very old bearings and press in new ones and hub.Never quite know how a purchase will turn out.This press was insanely good.Literally earned its money on the first bearing. Second one was a bonus.Very easy to use. Lots of sleeves and plates to choose from.Honestly blew my mind how well this worked.

Orion Motor Tech Wheel Bearing Puller Tool Set for Front Wheel Drive Bearing Removal & Installation.I used this to fit a wheel bearing in my ford fusion 2 rear brake drum.Even though the bearing is only 53mm, and the smallest plate is about 5 mmm too big.I used the smaller plate to pull in the bearing flush, the used another bearing to press the new bearing in further allowing the circlip to be fitted.I used my dugga dugga on it and even thought the bearing was a very tight fit, no damage to the big bolt or washers.The bearing was put in the freezer the night before, and copper slip was put on the washer and bolt.The size of the smallest plate is 56 mm just measured with a Vernier gauge.

I haven't used this tool as yet ,but quality is good and a good variety of sizes for various bearings .I have used a colleagues and this prompted me to make this purchase.

The 4 sleeves included in the bearing puller need to be made of thicker metal. The thin walls make it difficult to centre and slides about under pressure, also the 2 threaded bars need to made of more substantial matal the threads on the bar were all ready showing signs of of giving up after only one use

It isnt up to the job of pressing out pressed in bearings, the bearing washers supplied just deform under load and are of soft material. It really needs a ball thrust bearing and even with that i dont think it would do what is easy on a hydraulic press. I destroyed both threaded forcing bolts threads in the process of changing one bearing on a Peugeot front wheel hub carrier. Even with the threads coated liberally in EP oil it really struggled. If you could buy these bolts and nuts separately then it would be not so bad but now the set is partly useless without them. It wouldn’t do another similar bearing.Id look for a hydraulic version to replace this of at least 10 tons for on car jobs. Or a press maybe 20 tons that would tackle these jobs off car.
