well then the 12T might do the job but it's too late. I'll take 'em in Tuesday morning.

i've got a 2 ton at home and it wouldn't work at all....

I ended up paying 25 bucks to get them pressed out. I would say 20 at the minimum - mine was stuck in there good. The dinky rack/pinion one won't do anything...

My 12 ton worked on a rear bearing but just barely

Since then I bought a Hub Shark which works OK but takes a few hammer hits to first break the bearing loose.

How long should it take for a shop to replace a front wheel bearing? Shop wants to charge two hours.
