Review on πŸ”§ Powerbuilt Front Wheel Drive Bearing Tool Set - Complete 23 Piece Kit with Adapters (Domestic and Import) - 648741 by Matt Norwood

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This great kit had the correct size bearing tool for my car

I needed a custom sized bearing tool to fit a 74mm diameter bearing. It was the only kit I could find that had it. To my great surprise, the kit worked very well and had everything I needed to make my job easier. This tool has larger bearing washers to fit non-standard metric (European or Asian) bearings making it a great value. While I wasn't sure what sizes were included in the kit - that information doesn't seem to be listed anywhere - I called AllTrade, which is based in California, and the service reps were able to tell me they had the sizing tool I needed. . The quality of the parts looks very good. I assume the parts will hold up well. Everything in this kit is made from black galvanized steel rather than the aluminum found in cheaper kits. Unlike the other reviewer, the threaded bolt held tight throughout my work. When using an impact wrench to drive a bolt, make sure the bearing washer is fully seated on the bearing and NOT the knuckle. Sometimes it can stick to the knuckle, in which case I would expect the impact wrench to snap or break the threaded bolt regardless of the quality of the part. If you plan to use a bolt and impact wrench to knock out the bearing instead of a press, make sure you have a 32mm socket (impact) to turn the main drive nut. I used a Tekton 32mm socket purchased here from Revain and it worked great. A 28mm bolt head that I tightened with an adjustable crescent wrench.

Pros
  • Works on both domestic and imported front wheel drive vehicles
