Wheel bearing press tool

I searched high and low for a fair price on one of these tools when I was doing wheel bearings on a friend's 5th gen 4 runner. No luck so I decided to break out the angle grinder and my MIG and build one. From what Ive gathered these are very hard to come by and sell for well over $300 and $400. This is a necessary tool for pressing the hub out of the bearing without damaging your backing plate and parking brake hardware. I'm pretty sure this will fit 1st and 2nd gen tacomas and 3rd, 4th and 5th gen 4runners but I personally can only vouch for 5th gen since thats what I used it on. New holes could be drilled to fit different bolt patterns. Save yourself a ton of headaches, time and money
$130
Located in San Diego




and here is a great video showing how the tool is used

Great tool! I wish I had it a month ago. In the video the guy cuts the abs ring off which I think is wrong. I made a large jaw puller out of my 20 ton puller. I kept the bolt and made long arms(out of angle iron) to reach down to the abs ring using the original jaw puller hooks. Then you just tighten the bolt(use a little heat on the abs ring) and it pops off. Either way works I just didn't want to buy a new abs ring.
