Well not including the cap screws and hose clamps... :D

I saw this:

And thought I'd make my own because I dont have nor can I justify spending $350 on that one to take off a few bearings. Some pipe, 3/16 plate, 1" all thread a huge coupler nut and some welds and lathe work later:

Works pretty good for homemade :D Now I can finally install my gears and front ARB...

:guitar:
 
All I can say is NICE!!! I like how you replaces the threaded collars with the set screws. The video was a nice touch. Thanks
 
Can't see the pics or video, sights are blocked at work. But if it works great.
I do own the Yukon Puller. It is the coolest tool since my Plasma Cutter. I do several gear sets a year, which justified the cost in my mind.
The measure of success for your model should be the percentage of time you can get a bearing off without damage.
Again, if it holds up, great job.
 
Thanks for the comments guys...

Well, I'm 2 for 2 so far :yelclap:
 
Least you could have done was clean the garage first. Course, you have seen the shape of my shop so I guess I'll shut up. And as usual, great work!
