Many people suggested I try a Hub Grappler when I did the bearing on Cameraman Brian’s 4Runner. Now that I’ve tried the tool, I can see why. Some of you might point out that the tool didn’t work for every application, the Ford wheel bearing for instance. Well, if 20 tons and heat couldn’t do it, I’m not surprised the Hub Grappler had trouble as well.
When this tool works, it works. It can also save a bunch of time. It can also do many of the jobs that used to require a shop press. For me, it’s a great tool. If you do this kind of work a lot, I suggest you get one. If you don’t do this work a lot, find someone you can borrow one from. The time you spend tracking them down will be more than made up for when you go to use the tool.
