Easy bearing installation made possible

The OTC Heavy Duty Bearing Installer has greatly improved our automotive work. Based on our own experience, it's easy to use and saves time. It's very durable even when used frequently. The only con we experienced is that it's quite heavy and not portable. Overall, it's a great addition to our tools and we highly recommend it to anyone who needs to install bearings with ease.

Pros
  • Efficient and practical for heavy duty bearing installation needs
Cons
  • Requires a certain level of technical expertise and may be difficult for beginners to use

Excellent tool - steering and suspension tools

Without this tool you risk a U-cap joint shifting . It will save you that heartache, and for that reason alone it's worth it.

Pros
  • For use with Spicer series 1610 thru 1880 and almost all other heavy truck and machine U-joints with bolt-on cups
Cons
  • Minor problems

Definitely works fine, but two screws are included.

Definitely works well but the two bolts intended to attach it to the yoke have worn out prematurely - I have it with a/ air ratchet used. You just need to buy replacement screws from time to time.

Pros
  • Manufactured from high quality materials to ensure good performance over the life of the tool
Cons
  • Slightly dented
