After the catastrophic failure of the original Harley bearing on the front wheel of my FLHTCU at 23,000 miles, I began evaluating my options. I could take the wheel to my local Indy shop and pay like $100 to change bearings, take it to my local Harley shop and pay $200, or do it myself for a lot less. I like to do my work myself when I can because I don't have a schedule or production pressures and I trust myself to be more selective than I trust the average shop technician. I looked at the tools available and initially gravitated towards the OTC version for around $50 more than this because I found that OTC usually offers a better tool than the cheaper fakes. After reading some less than brilliant reviews about the quality of the OTC processing and its country of origin, a very large country, not North America, I decided to look for cheaper tools that are available in this large country, not North America. The way I went about it was a little crappy based on reviews, price and availability when I wanted it. I am very happy that I chose this one. The apparent workmanship leaves nothing to be desired and it works perfectly. The only thing I don't agree with is that the job requires multiple wrenches, including a long 8mm allen wrench to tighten the collet, but that's probably not a significant factor for the average person who works with my cars, I had everything I needed in my toolbox. Overall I am very happy with this purchase, I have no indication that this tool will not last for hundreds of bearing changes.
