Hub Tamer pieces?
Which parts of the OTC set are needed?
How does this one from Harbor Freight seem? http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=45210

Matt,
I used a Hub Tamer on the rear bearings and the Harbor Freight tool appears to have all I used, but then I really had no idea what I was doing & just fumbled through. For example, I found no use for the big "C" shaped thing in the OTC product, and since there were no instructions in the one I used I can't say if it would be needed for front bearings or other kind of car, etc. |

The "big c" thing is used to press the hub out of the bearings.

The really bad part - now that Beav points out the real purpose - was I asked the base auto skills center "advisory" mechanic what the "C" thing was for and he was clueless. Kinda makes me cautious about getting future advice from him. |

so would this kit then be suitable for the svx front and rear bearings?

I agree, the big C thing is a bit of a pain to use and doesn't like to sit squarly. Using a slidehammer that can be rented from Autozone could be used to pull the hub out. The tool looks similar to http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...temnumber=5223
