The CAB puller tool is an easy DIY - a threaded pipe nipple and a pipe cap with a hole drilled in it and a piece of grade 8 threaded rod and some washers. For rear bearings I just remove the rear control arm and take it to my 20ton Harbor Freight hydraulic press and can easily get the job done with that. I've got some old bearing races that I ground slightly down to use as a press tool when pushing the new bearings in - just don't forget to install the backing plate before pressing the rear hub into the bearing. I think the press was $179 and it has paid for itself many times over by being such a versatile tool.

I actually have the smaller HF press, but with the rear bearing tool you can R&R without removing the trailing arm :)
You mentioned the threaded rod needs to stay lubed, any recommendation or just a little KY?? Edit*** 10w30 does the trickLast edited by absolutdog; 07-10-2012, 09:44 PM.
