OK, I don't understand something.
Does the Hub Shark pull the bearing and hub, and then you need to use a press to get the bearing off the hub? Or can the Hub Shark pull the bearing too?
I don't mind spending money on good tools, my tool box is a Snap On, as is all the tools in it.
But I want to be sure what I am getting into.

press it out/in -- even after buying the biggest air gun at Sears. lots of wasted $$, imo, since the HubShark + gun > taking it to a shop and never getting dirty.

Slidehammer the hub out of the bearing. Then, get the hub shark out. Press the bearing out. Press new bearing in. Remove piece of old bearing on hub (if applicable) then press hub into bearing.

get a pipe of similar diameter to the bearing... just so it catches the edge. put a wood block ontop of the pipe and tap it into place. You can also use a vinyl dipped hammer to do this. The proper way to get the bearing in is use a press... that applies equal pressure to all parts of the bearing.
Hammer and block of wood works though

It comes with multiple sizes of press pieces. It is something that I could explain better by demonstration over a write-up. Or if you'd like, call me.
