Warner front wheel bearing pullers...

[antnip]

I already have mine, so I am glad you will continue to offer them. A well
made tool and a first rate method of supplying it! The only problem is that
you should charge a few dollars more for your time!

No good deed goes unpunished. I'm sure that the Warner Mark IV puller will
be right around the corner after you get the first 12k sold - and a good
reason for the whole thing to start again ;>

Tom,

As part of the concerted effort to make life hard for you, how about a
hydraulic retrofit kit for those of us who already have the puller. Also an
adapter to mount the OTC to the back of the knuckle to push the hub out.
What, you still have free time left? We'll work on it! )

Seriously, thanks for all the hard work.

Tom,
It seems that even though I was late getting in on the puller deal last year I
have one of the first 15. The outside diameter is about 5 3/16" according to my
yard stick, not the 5 3/4" you mentioned earlier as being the latest design. Am
I correct with this assumption?

If so, how difficult will it be to adapt to hydraulic operation? I keep hearing
about how much force is required to move those bearings and I seem to be getting
weaker as time goes by.

Richard and Tom,
Thanks for mentioning this. I just checked mine. 5 3/4" so please put me
down for one of your enhancements, Tom! Richard, I did notice my tool was
getting a bit rusty. Probably from handling it too much when I first got it
(drooling, ya know). I oiled it up well, wrapped it up an and put it back in
the box for the next time I need it.
Those that have them should check yours too! A tool is a terrible thing to
waste!

OK you convinced me. Where do I sign up for the puller?
