Well just finished my rear wheel bearing replacement, it went pretty good. I used the OTC Grappler puller and a generic wheel bearing puller set from Amazon that was recommended for $125 & $70. The Grappler puller was fantastic and NO brake shoe removal needed.

Nice, I think you might be the first, and it is good to confirm it!

I just did the same thing. I had the transmission out and replaced both rear bearings. It was so much easier than removing the hubs and using a press.
