Wheel Bearing Removal Tool Wanted (Barrow)

[Metallated]

Hey guys, my rear bearings have been making noise for quite a while so I finally got some new ones to install. All the write-ups I've read claim the wheel bearing tool makes the job a thousand times easier, but they are super expensive.

Anyone have the tool near Seattle that I can barrow for a couple days? Or know of an easy, and cheap way to do the installation?

I'd be happy to part with some tools or a pack of your favorite beverage in exchange for a few days use of the tool...

Thanks

the harbor freight "front wheel drive" wheel bearing press kit is like $100 and works great along with a hub puller/slide hammer rented from autozone

With the CV axle out you can actual use a piece of large dowel like a wooden curtain rod inserted through the back of the hub where the CV shaft slides into to smack the bearing out with a 5# sledge. Done it, its easy. Then you can use a large socket and mallet or the sledge to gently knock the new bearing in.
But yeah try Auto Zone or O'Reilly's for rental tools.
