Review on HFS(R Automotive Wheel Bearing Race and Seal Bush Driver Set - Master/Universal Kit with Carrying Case by Victor Houser

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Metric kit not compatible with SAE bearings

This hand tool was used to install a #84 spindle on a 3500 lb trailer axle. It turns out, and as others have reported, these dies are metric and not 100% compatible with US standard bearings. When attempting installation the inner bearing die will not fit or sit flush with the bearing (see image) this will result in the bearing not retracting and will scratch the hub entrance (yes!) rout the scar (remove metal) and clean the entrance to the race . Although you used the tool and felt like you should have come back with clear signs of use and deducted 3 runs for being unusable. THIS IS NOT FOR US STANDARD BEARINGS, they might be best used on imported/European cars.
