It's pretty much the first specialty tool that worked the way it's supposed to on the first try.
I know I'm rehashing what others have said, but I just wanted to give this thing another thumbs up.
It seems to be built like a tank, though the case seems a little cheap.
The directions could be better, but after you start to do it, it all makes sense.
All in all I highly recommend it to anybody who does their own wheel bearings.
Also, a note of caution:
Also be weary of one of the alternative installation methods of reinstalling the hub. The method suggests letting the thrust washer press against the hub to reinstall it into the spindle. Stupid me went ahead and used that method getting the thrust washer VERY STUCK in the hub. I had to heat the hub up, hammer it out from the back with a small pipe. I completely messed up the washer. I had to then disassemble the mangled thrust bearing, clean it, degrease it and put it back together so I could do the other side. It kind of works but i'm going to be ordering a new one from sir tools as it's not quite the same.
