I hate being trapped into buying expensive ,single-purpose tools.
We need a Harbor freight Interchange guide for all the tools required for this job.
Hemonu kindly posted a link to Amazon for a generic puller set that looks just like some available from HF.
One is a simple bearing driver set
The other is a bearing puller
Anyone know of another USA kit that works ?

I think some people are missing the point of the Sir tool; using it, you can change out the bearings on both sides of the car in less time that it takes to pull one upright out and take it out with a press. No alignment is required after a bearing change. Most of the Sir tool kits include adaptors that allow the tool to work and a wide variety of makes and models, making the tool extremely flexible for different applications.

Once you have done some Porsche wheel bearings with the Sir tool, you will never go back to taking the car apart and using a press; in a shop, you could not afford to.
