Review on Thorstone 52pcs Bushing Driver Tool Set for Wheel Axle Bearing Race & Seal Installer-Remover: Ultimate Bearing Press Tool Kit with Custom Bearing and Seal Drivers by Marc Stewart

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Don't buy them unless you have access to a lathe and the skills to assemble them properly

In fact I only chose this kit because I thought the advertised SAE dimensions would fit would fit the SAE bearings which are all my cars use. However, my reasoning was definitely wrong. The claimed 2.83 inch diameter would have been ideal for mounting the new Timken racing system if correct. If they were within the 0.01 inch tolerance (which is the world SAE standard when dimensions are given to ten thousandths) they would still work as is. This particular one in the picture measures 3.855 inches, which is 0.013 inches taller than the race it's designed for. The others in the kit aren't as bad in diameter as my example, but the taper is so far off that it can't be used effectively from this side. Anyway, tomorrow I have to take this unused kit to work and use a lathe to reduce the diameter and at least make the flat side usable.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • No power
