OTC HubTamer awesome hub/bearing kit
The OTC Hubtamer wasn't on Motor's top 20 tool list a while back by just chance. That clever tool designer(s) deserves a trophy. This is a serious quality tool with some very unique design features that sets it apart from all other similar competitors in my opinion. The horseshoe bracket for pushing out the hub is a rock solid weldment with a large recessed ball bearing seat for transferring thrust thru the forcing screw with minimal friction. Since it fits behind the hub and extends inboard rather than outboard of the hub...clearance problems are minimized and this makes removing those stupid nightmare trapped rotors (earlier Honda etc.)Quick & EASY.

Hub Tamer Elite
OTC makes really good, inovative tools, so I had no fear of the Mfg. The elite is an upgrade from the one purchased in the 1980's- that finally wore out- in the middle of a job. It was never babied, and the new one won't be either, and looking at the quality, I don't think I need to worry about it lasting. A good many inovations have been done to the "new" tool, and many more adaptors are included. I kept all the parts that were useable from my old set, and can tell you that, with imagination, all OTC stuff works pretty well together in a mix and match solution to an odd problem. The purchase went right thru, and the tool arrived actually before it was supposed to (thankfully).

Product Description
From start to finish, complete front wheel bearing service using just one set of tools. Take off the hub, remove the old bearing and install the new one, and then reinstall the hub. All this is done while the knuckle assembly remains on the car, no shop press or unnecessary alignments are needed. Works on virtually all floating and trapped rotors found on domestic and import vehicles. This kit cuts 50% off service time when replacing front wheel bearings. Pushes on the steering knuckle and not the rotor. Fits easily behind the rotor, leaving plenty of room for positioning the tool and wrench. One-piece design has no sliding arms to adjust and is impact wrench compatible. The NEW HubTamer Elite gives you these added benefits. Puller Weldment adapter has been improved with the addition of a beveled edge for use in tight fitting applications! New Ford adapter for use on Taurus/Sable 1986-1995 and Contour/Mystique 1995-2001 vehicles are included. Also includes updated case and application information. Top to learn more
