Review on πŸ”§ Astro Pneumatic Tool 78825 25-Piece Master Front Wheel Drive Bearing Puller Set with Grade 8 Drive Bolt by David Skyline

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I see the benefit of thinner threads, but durability can be a sacrifice.

I bought this kit because of the industrial strength screw at the base of the kit. Unfortunately, where I live, the front wheel bearings on our Toyota only last about 3 years, and usually on the driver's side, due to the salt used on the roads. The bolt bent badly as I had to use a lot of leverage to get the bearing out. It's probably still usable, but not easy anymore. However, the work has been COMPLETED and the new bearing is working well. I need to do my wife's front wheel bearing on the driver's side of the Corolla. I may need to get another screw or see if they replace this one for me. Also, the instructions on the sheet are pretty vague, with too many "or" appearing wrong. As someone who has done this before (two before) with a 20 ton press, I have found that this kit definitely saves the time and effort as you can leave the steering knuckle on the car while the tool gets used to it is remove stock. I ended up using the items in the kit that were correct for the task I was doing. I was a little nervous as the torque for the heavy profile screw was almost beyond what I could deliver. I see the benefit of a thinner thread, but durability can be a sacrifice. It took me 4.5 hours.
