Hub bearing remover and installer set
Looking to see what other folks could recommend for removing hub bearings and installing them. Other than Park Tool and Wheels Manufacturing what other set is reasonably priced and good to do the job? I'm thinking of making a "DIY" tool but would rather have the right tool for the right job.

Having used all the usual "tools and methods" to extract then install cartridge bearings for a few decades I finally got the Park HPB-1 kit. I still will use the common extraction methods but since the reason to pull bearings is almost always to replace them how I get them out isn't an issue. But now pressing them in is so much more controlled and , dare I say, fun. I just replaced a set of freehub body bearings. While I had to heat up the body to extract the inner bearing (450* for about 15 minutes) installing the new ones was easy peasy. Andy
