      I think he is looking for something like what is on this page here...

      No need to even pull the carrier from the strut.
      Remove the brakes, 3 bolts from the ball joint, axle nut and axle, and bingo you can do the wheel bearings.

      I actually have this tool, although one of the main bearings at the top broke so I am waiting for a replacement before I use it again.

        no he needs the tool to pull the race fron the hub inside the tone ring . there is a likely chance the dealership will show you how to pound your own a$$ if you ask to borrow thier tool .lol but for the price of it and the chance of damaging your new bearing i would take it to one of us shops to do .

          Don't forget that you will need a slide hammer to pull the hub out of the bearing first. Then you can use the bearing puller kit to get the bearing out. Very easy to do. The bearing puller will also double as a press to put the new bearing in the spindle as well.

            That tool I posted up you can pull the hub off with that no problems.

            Pull the hub out first, take the clip out, then pull the bearing. The inner race that is left on the hub can either be pulled off if you have the correct puller, or carefully cut off without leaving a mark on the hub.
            After that put everything back together.

              Where did you buy it? How much was it?
