Hub Tamer...

Well used one for the first time today to do a wheel bearing... All I have to say is, it doesn't save much time. Getting the axle out of the hub in the biggest pain in the ass I have even experience. Besides that it went smoothly and I will use one again in the future. Just figured I would share

Do you happen to take some pictures? I am trying to replace my rear bearings as well. What brand of the hub tamer did you use? Where can I get one with reasonable price?
Thanks

Tom,

If you had to spend $300 on the Tamer, would you say it's worth it. I'm asking as someone who may only use the tool 8 times in his life. I thought about purchasing one but agree that the majority of work is in freeing the axle. Once its, out pulling the spindle is no biggie.

Yes, it is worth it. BUT try and find a used one, Tim got the one I used for $150 and it worked perfectly
