Exclamation hub tamer & rear wheel bearings info

First, to Beav: Hub tamer worked well with one possible exception. I couldn't figure out a way to press the hub back into the knuckle without pressure on the bearings againt the races - pushing into the front and holding the rear with the back side of the tamer adapter. Did I do it wrong?

Looks like the job went very well - put about 50 miles on and nothing fell off - definition of a good job for me. With the tool price down to $269 and free shipping it looks like it's almost worth it just for home use.

One BIG info item: The NCA/National part number shown at multiple local parts house AND online at carparts.com is NOT the correct seals. I was able to get them at a NAPA store. Just be aware that Federal-Mogul/National seals #4899 and (forgot the number it's like 225573) will NOT work.
