Burl. this is Dave King in Toronto. I have what I believe are the unique pieces of the GMCMH front wheel bearing puller.
If you decide to send your hubs to Dave Lenzi to have him do the bearing you won't need to "borrow" the tool from me and you can
have him do the wheel studs while it is apart. As many have suggested on here adding "zerks" to grease the bearing seems like a
GREAT move as every time you take the bearing apart it reduces the interference fit. The knuckles worked fine on the cars they
were designed for but are really at their limit on the motorhome. Post on here if you want to borrow the puller but I would
suggest you talk to DAVE LENZI. Enjoy your new to you coach.

Thanks Dave. I think I'll take a few things apart and assess what needs to be rebuilt, maybe talk to Dave Lenzi.
I have no problem buying or making "special tools", I really don't like to borrow, but sometimes cost to purchase is crazy. I see there are two types of bearing tools, the Warner one at $430USD and the "complete" one for $720USD. I assume the more expensive one works a bit better? Which do you have?

Would you be interested in selling me your tool? (with of course, the right to borrow it back)
