Title: When did ARB and others start selling tools?
Post by: Jeffy on January 11, 2012, 05:31:15 PM

I never knew ARB sold tools for setting up gears.  I saw G2 also sells a bearing puller as well.

Expensive but nice.  Actually they're not that expensive and could save you money over time.

i'm sure that's someone else using the brand (with their agreement of course) and paying royalty

i mean $330 for a case spreader, are they serious?...

Yukon sells some as well.  They're a bit cheaper but don't come in a nice case.

Yukon's is the same as the G2 it seems.

The pocket style bearing pullers are very nice, but I can pull bearings off and reuse them all day long with a regular puller and a bearing splitter plate. There is a dirty little trick that works very well. Does not damage the bearing cages at all.

Yeah, I just wish they were cheaper.  I don't have a press yet.  What's the trick?
