I have been using this tool for about 1 year and it works great. you don;t have to use a puller,or hammer the rotor, once the axle is out of the way and the 4 10mm 12 point bolts from the back of the hub, put this tool in the center and hammer assembly out .... all you techs out there if you don;t have it, get it
matco makes it ( wheel bearing hub assembly tool ) part # LT825...

no I DON'T work for Matco or get any deals from mentioning this

 

^

I hate those rotors...

 

can u put what tool it is exactly and what the tool number is just to find the exact one! thanks

 

i used a slide hammer on mine..came off on about the 3rd whack..wasn't that big of a deal

 

I missed the point of your response.

The purpose of this thread is for those who want to know about tools like this, not those who don't. It's in the right place.

If this tool saves a tech any time at all then it's worth it. In the automotive repair business, time is money.

 

Hub over rotor sucks *****..... Anything that can help, I'm down with it! But I think I'm gonna do the rotor over hub conversion next summer.

yo Bum......i tought the point of HONDA-TECH.COM was to help each other with any suggestions, opinions which might fix a problem wether it is electrical, mechanical etc etc .. or help with doing a job easier .............I have read a lot of posts regarding frt rotors removal and how people are afraid to damage the bearing and rotor is rusted in.. well Bum i thought i would make a HELPFUL suggestion..........And to answer the second part of your close minded comment why i am reping their **** as you put it ,,,BECAUSE IT WORKS ......i don't give a **** who makes the tool ,,as long as a tool makes my job easier i will use it..

 

oh i see, well it just seemed like it was out of thin air, i knew that you wouldn't say something for no reason, i just sounded like an add . my apologies and i retract my first comment.

Yo Puma u must have the wrong tool , LT 825 WHEEL BEARING HUB TOOL....., i don't think i paid more than 40-50 dollars for it .......the Matco man will come on next monday i will ask him the price and will post it

 

well the guy posteda link to a tol that is made for honda hubs and was like 250 and it looks exatcly what i would need but unless i was an accord only mechanic could never justify buying it ...so you say that wasn't it...whew let me know what it is that would be great i bought a puller from summit and im kind of not sure how to use it so lets see if u are using a tool that is anythi8hng like what i have! Thanks Desert!

read my first post.........

 

i went on thew matco site and there is no part number that u mentioned i f u could find it maybe im retarded ... its happened before so if u had something i could find that would be great desert!
thanks

 

u are correct , i typed in the tool number and it shows nothing,,,,,,,,but that is the correct number .it is written in the box it came in, and i asked the matco tool man yesterday and he gave me a price ,,,but i got no clue why it does not show it on their web site ...I noticed they have an updated tool for around 250 dollars , maybe they scratched the other tool ,,i wish i knew the answer ..

 

damn iut man what am i to do now i bought some tool from summit or jc whitney might be the same kind of thing its a hub puller that you put on the wheel studs then it pulls the damn thing apart but i have to say i get freakin scred that somethign is going to break like me or something. because u bascially put the large bolt on the axle and press it in and it forces the hub out so it kind of scraces me cuz i really don't want to mess anything up and have to pay more soon...you know what i mean
