A friend has a 99 Forester and he wants to change the front hub bearings.  

The NAPA with a machine shop closed.  No hydraulic press available.  

What Hub Tamer do you like?

Anyone close to Colorado Springs, Colorado with one?

Thanks,

Larry

If you have the space, a 20 ton press from harbor freight is handy for older wheel bearings, I've done a few. There's a used KD hub tamer on Ebay, might be missing the two-jaw puller, same set also on CL for over a month, but I've not used one before.

when i was poorer i made my own with a piece of thick wall pipe, some drifts done on a lathe and the biggest threaded rod i could find, think it was a M14 or M18.

it wasnt fun, a bit sketchy too, but it did the job,

Where there's a will, there's a way
