Orion Motor Tech Wheel Bearing Puller Tool Set for Front Wheel Drive Bearing Removal & Installation, 24pc Automotive Bearing Press Kit with Sliding Screws Universal Bushings Sleeves Storage Case, Red

Excellent tool and service will order more made job really quick and easy

Bought this after reading through the reviews of a few puller kits, and as this one seemed to have the best ratio of positive to negative experiences, I decided to give it a go. Needed to press out a 97mm rear bearing on a Mercedes Vito van, so the kit had its work cut out for it! On first look, the quality of the pieces was surprisingly decent for the price…well finished, and nicely packaged. In use, the component pieces worked very well and were sufficiently robust to do the job…couple of turns with a long breaker bar got the bearing moving, and then wound it out the rest of the way with a long handled ratchet. Everything worked exactly as it should, with no issues apart from the washers being a little soft as others have mentioned…although despite being a bit marred from the nut, they would go again fine! As far as the main bolt thread quality is concerned, there isn’t a mark on it and all the threads are still perfect so I would be willing to bet the bad reviews of this component are down to the user ignoring the clear instructions to not use an impact gun…user error basically! Using hand tools as directed, it’s more than up to the task! For a home DIY spanner monkey, I’d happily recommend this set to anyone considering it…it’s a fraction of the price of a ‘professional’ version, but performs its task very well. 5 stars

Perfect

For this price it’s so handy, used it twice, did a great job

The item worked perfectly to insert the new wheel bearing into both the knuckle and the axle hub. Ensure you grease everything before using the bearing puller to make the task as smooth as possible. I did not try the set to remove the wheel bearing because the circlip was absolutely impossible to remove, so I had to buy a new wheel knuckle, but the item looks very robust and not only a single-use tool set :) Read the instructions in order to set the plates properly; otherwise you might damage the new wheel bearing.

Great quality item well packaged arrived early would definitely recommend

It isnt up to the job of pressing out pressed in bearings, the bearing washers supplied just deform under load and are of soft material. It really needs a ball thrust bearing and even with that i dont think it would do what is easy on a hydraulic press. I destroyed both threaded forcing bolts threads in the process of changing one bearing on a Peugeot front wheel hub carrier. Even with the threads coated liberally in EP oil it really struggled. If you could buy these bolts and nuts separately then it would be not so bad but now the set is partly useless without them. It wouldn’t do another similar bearing. Id look for a hydraulic version to replace this of at least 10 tons for on car jobs. Or a press maybe 20 tons that would tackle these jobs off car.

Orion Motor Tech Wheel Bearing Puller Tool Set for Front Wheel Drive Bearing Removal & Installation. I used this to fit a wheel bearing in my ford fusion 2 rear brake drum. Even though the bearing is only 53mm, and the smallest plate is about 5 mmm too big. I used the smaller plate to pull in the bearing flush, the used another bearing to press the new bearing in further allowing the circlip to be fitted. I used my dugga dugga on it and even thought the bearing was a very tight fit, no damage to the big bolt or washers. The bearing was put in the freezer the night before, and copper slip was put on the washer and bolt. The size of the smallest plate is 56 mm just measured with a Vernier gauge.

Durable

Bought this kit to replace the axle bearings on my 2008 scion TC. I live in Illinois, where they use salt on the road during the winter. Thus, as you can imagine what these parts were thoroughly arrested in place However, this bearing kit performed flawlessly. Is a very high-quality professional grade tool.

For the price it's a good deal, the quality of the metal isn't the same as even astro or especially the tool truck stuff (this is a bit on the softer side) but it is more than adequate. What can you really expect for the price? This is well under 100 dollars and the matco equivalent is around 800-1200 depending on the kit. I have abused this kit right off the bat using heavy duty impact guns, doing 8 Honda and toyota wheel bearings and 2 Honda trailing arm bushings all in the span of a week. It also provides enough sizes that I would say unless you're working on semi stuff and maybe some larger diesel applications you should be covered with something to fit. My only suggestions would be to get some extra washers from Ace hardware, perhaps a bit harder steel then the ones that come with it. I am using the washers the kit comes with but they're severely deformed at this point, they end up being sacrificial since this kit doesn't use any sort of bearing to apply pressure to when turning. Another important thing to remember is to keep the thread lubed. With all these things in mind this kit should serve the home diy or even mobile/ part time mechanic well.

Is it a perfect kit? No, but decent quality and at least for me did the job. If you're used to precision bearing pressing where the bushing is exactly the right OD and the bearing nestles perfectly in the bushing you might find this a bit crude, but it works fine. Good value. As of April 2020, Orion in their online product details promises a bushing "Q" at 2.32" (58.93mm) OD. When kit arrives, it contains a parts list that doesn't list this item and indeed it's not in the kit; instead the printed list shows (and indeed the kit comes with) TWO identical bushings 2.83" (71.88mm). They're nicely labelled and screened as if they are different (955-13 and 955-14). Perhaps they made too many? Good quality bushings; may or may not fit ideally for your job, but should be able to find something close enough. While it's nice to use the side that inserts into the bearing to hold it centred, be careful as it's hit or miss whether it'll be the right size and it might get jammed into the bearing. Forcing screw and nut are fine with wrenches and grease; I'd get better ones if you hope to use a power tool. The washers are lame; good enough for awhile and easy to replace, but if you'll do a lot of bearings and live in the rust belt just get a thrust bearing instead of one of the washers and you'll be happier. Watch out for the bearing collection sleeve size-- on my car it fit too tight and nearly got jammed on the tapered/rusty knuckle. Might have to get creative to avoid a swear-fest. If you use the instructions, watch out for the drawings-- at least for the Subaru section some of them show the wrong bushings/bushing orientation / wrong knuckle orientation. Use your head. Part numbers are a bit mixed up; not only are some numbers skipped, but they don't always go up (or get stored in the box) by actual size. The ABCD part system detailed in online product info doesn't match the 8625-XX prod numbers used in the instructions to suggest which bushings/tools to use, and none of this matches exactly the 955-XX product numbers screened on the parts/molded into the slots in the case. Again, you'll have to figure out which are the right parts for your job.
