lmdew Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 A friend has a 99 Forester and he wants to change the front hub bearings. The NAPA with a machine shop closed. No hydraulic press available. What Hub Tamer do you like? Anyone close to Colorado Springs, Colorado with one? Thanks, Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89Ru Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 If you have the space, a 20 ton press from harbor freight is handy for older wheel bearings, I've done a few. There's a used KD hub tamer on Ebay, might be missing the two-jaw puller, same set also on CL for over a month, but I've not used one before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboguzzi Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 when i was poorer i made my own with a piece of thick wall pipe, some drifts done on a lathe and the biggest threaded rod i could find, think it was a M14 or M18. it wasnt fun, a bit sketchy too, but it did the job, Where there's a will, there's a way 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
