(More customer reviews)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. The HubTamer Elite 6537 kit is really NOT much different than the earlier HubTamer 6490. They just upgraded by adding an extra adapter plate for Ford Taurus & Contour and a bevel on the horseshoe bracket. This tool is more universal and complete than most others and less cost even with OTC's LIFETIME WARRANTY. It has tie rod/race and Ford cv axle pullers included. Not surprisingly, because it is OTC it comes with possibly the finest & most detailed instruction manual. If you follow the manual it will tell you exactly what adapters & how to use them safely & properly by make & model for most US, Asian,& European cars in case you can't figure it out on your own. The only close competition is the Hub-Shark system and maybe Sir tools B90, and German like Baum or Klann etc. They all cost more & much more in the case of Klann. To be fair in some rare cases up to 40 tons...yes 40 TONS (80,000 pounds of force!) could be required for rusty seized bearings and then Klann's hydraulic on car kit or hydraulic shop press with rated capacity may be required.
Like they advertise...this tool will beat book time by 50% or more and save you bucks not having to get an alignment job. This tool pays for itself 1st bearing job you do. I would never give mine up.

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.
