- Reviewed in Canada on October 26, 2018Let me start off saying this a quality kit as others have stated on here also I want to apologize beforehand on how long this is. I own a smaller universal kit with roughly 录 of what this kit has and I paid almost the same price for it so knowing that now I already know this is a fantastic price and I already own other Astro Pneumatic Tools so I know they made good quality. I am professional mechanic by trade so I have experience using a wheel bearing removal tool but from a DIY stand point it can get quite confusing removing and installing it. Starting off the kit comes with a variety of different adapters for many different vehicles. As of owning this kit for little over a month now and used it 10-15 times I have not run into any vehicle that it hasn鈥檛 been able to do. There might be that odd vehicle that you鈥檒l need to get creative but having somewhat of the right adapters is key but you can always custom make to suit your needs plus all the adapters come in a blow molded case which I LOVE cases because I love to keep things organized as you know you are missing something if you are.
Now this kit is designed to work on the vehicle without having to remove the spindle because face it, it is a pain in the a** and who wants to do more work. Usually when you remove the spindle you鈥檒l need to remove use a shop press to press out and in the bearing but this does it all on vehicle without needing to use a press (most of the time.) I say that because some are not that easy and can be difficult which may need a press but anyway this kit makes quick work of it.
The first time I used this set was at home as a friend wanted their rear wheel bearing done on their 2000 Honda CRV. I forgot to take pictures of the process for the first time but it was fairly simple as this set does come with somewhat vague instructions in the set but it will be different in your application. It was seized so it took me a while to complete it but got the job done. I do recommend some tips while doing it so I will state a few;
- If you have never done a wheel bearing on the type of vehicle you are working on, I recommend either google, or Youtube that way you kind of know what you are up against or you can get have at it and go all ape on it < that was joke.
- Lube the threads beforehand, grease or penetrating oil will do.
- Spray penetrating on all parts before starting, let it soak as it may assist with removing.
- I recommend an impact for removing because it will make quicker work it on it and the impact motion of the gun may assist in removing it but installing take your time.
- Installing, make sure you are going in straight and not on an angle. If you are back out and try again.
- I have a few more but won鈥檛 go through all of them but I think most with get the point. Those are just for some that have never done one before.
For anyone that may be wondering the size of socket you need is a 32mm (metric) and 1 录 (SAE). If using an impact I strongly recommend impact but if just using a breaker bar then chrome would do.
Now I want to state something! I don鈥檛 care if you don鈥檛 read any of this review but read this. Don鈥檛 go and buy a cheap, unbranded that you never heard of because chances or most likely the kit is cheap and will just fail and break. I get it to save some money and thinking you鈥檒l only use it once but trust me because you spend a little more and get better quality and may save you in the end (money and also your life.) There is a lot of potential energy that is in this tool when you are pressing it out and when you buy cheap and it decides to fail it coming at YOU, no doubts about it. I worked in a shop and a co-worker bought a cheap kit on Ebay for less than $30 thinking it鈥檚 going to save him money but one day he went to use it and was pressing out a bearing and the metal cup exploded into pieces and pieces cracked his safety glasses and cut his face. His safety glasses saved his eyes but his face was cut. Today he swears that he will never but cheap again and if you think I am kidding I am not. I am not trying to worry anyone but it all depends on the quality but a lot of force is being exerted. So I 100% recommend this set to anyone from professional to DIY because this is a decent set and has a lot to offer for a good price.
