Wheel bearing puller tool, opinions?

Harbor freight has these, I was wondering if they would work for replacing front wheel bearings on my 93?

That tool set is what you need to use, but you dont have to buy it, you can rent it at your local AutoZone..after you use it you take it back and get your rental money from them..much more cost effective and you arent out the money afterwards...

So no need to take my hubs to a machine shop to have them press out my old bearing and press in new ones ifI "rent" this from the auto parts store?
That would be really cool because the machine shop wants $45 a side to do it.

You can buy the axle bearing and hub pre-assembled. Then you only need to separate the hub assy from the knuckle. You can drive the hub out of knuckle w/ long bolts&hammeror a large drift and hammer. see attached Rockauto link and lookup your car part under "brake/wheel hub".

good luck

Thanks for the link however, I already bought new bearings so I'll have to try my luck with this tool.
