BETA Bearing Splitter / Puller Kit - 1535/C4 - BETA Utensili

[@vermili0138]

If this can remove a race from a bearing, it can remove anything else. This a time saver, if you have an impact wrench you'll get rid of any fatigue that you used to encounter before lol. Thanks for the video, bro! :D

[@FrenchValleyAirport]

That bearing thing on the press when you removed the race was really cool..

[@RealToolReviews]

David G Thanks David!

[@AJFresh69]

This video told me what I already knew but it helped to see a pro verify for me cause i'm still a noob. ty!

[@rossg9363]

I like the idea of putting a bolt in the centre of the hole to press against👍 im going to use that one with my bearing driver kit on my hydraulic press ,cheers🍻 just subscribed👍

[@jordanbooth5435]

You should do a tool box tour. Really love that bearing puller. Could have used one of those when removing my bearing on my focus

[@RealToolReviews]

Jordan Booth That would be quite a long video! ;)

[@hajkephu5666]

Real Tool Reviews yeah tool boxs tour!

[@fenrizwulf6682]

I have a smaller set of these from Cornwell. They do save a lot of time on pressed in wheel bearings. Mine are not as nice as the beta one in the video, but they were also only about 1/3 of the price.

[@RealToolReviews]

Fenriz Wulf Nice! Yep having the right tools for any job always helps!

[@zr1daddy14]

That is a bad ass tool I like it I normally use a grinder the remove the sleeve that gets stuck on the hub which it takes longer. Great review

[@RealToolReviews]

Felix Elizondo Thanks Felix! I used to have to use die grinders....it definitely takes some experience to do that without damaging the hub. Specialized tools seem to always save a ton of time :)

[@jeremiahcollins2141]

I use a torch to heat the race then it falls off

[@chrisland169]

very good tool but you used wrongly when you pressed down on the press every time you must use the side of the spitter not on the bolts side because you will bent the bolts !

[@RealToolReviews]

Due to the size of the hub, rotating the bearing splitter was not possible in this example. If I had used 2 i-beams, yes it would have worked the other way.....with the wood there is not enough room.

[@stefanczechorskidds8435]

Yes. I agree Chris. He needs to rotate 90 degrees. (bolts parallel with blocks of wood)

[@vincentmiller6476]

Bridge the gap on the press with the body of the splitter and not the threads.

[@Lanninglongarmmowing]

So to put the race back on you would use the press? Is there a special tool used to do that? Great video!

[@RealToolReviews]

Love2boat92 Thanks! The race is actually part of the wheel bearing....so, it presses on as one unit (with the bearing) but when you go to remove the bearing...the race will stay locked on. I didnt think to mention that, thanks for pointing it out! So, to answer your question....no special tool is needed to install the race separately, it will be installed with the wheel bearing (typically using a shop press or special wheel bearing kit, depending on the vehicle).

[@Lanninglongarmmowing]

Real Tool Reviews That's ok. No problem. I was just wondering. Thanks.

[@wendellgreenidge3362]

Have you ever used the otc hub grabbler? And would you recommend it if you have used it?

[@EminHVAC]

awesome video bud. I like the separator I am gonna get one, I work on cooling towers, pumps and motors and can use one. thanks for the video

[@RealToolReviews]

Emin HVAC Thanks Emin! I can imagine how something like this would save you a lot of time....especially on a 120+ degree rooftop baking in the sun! :)

[@EminHVAC]

Real Tool Reviews​ lol oh yeah!

[@mikel.1395]

Great demonstration and very informative.

[@RealToolReviews]

Mike L. Thanks Mike!

[@Nevercouldfigureitout]

How does compare price wise & quality wise to the OTC stinger version?

[@RealToolReviews]

adabezzi The price is going to be a premium (comparable to truck brands) --- but this is made in Germany....not "made overseas from global materials". I have heard very mixed reviews about the quality of the OTC stinger kits.....I think it is hit or miss.

[@supriyantoyanto3265]

Harganya berapa belinya dimana bos

[@ericduplantier9691]

That's cool what's the cost?

[@RealToolReviews]

Eric DuPlantier This particular setup is around $900.....the smaller ones cost a lot less. Or, you can just get the bearing splitter for a few hundred & use it with the shop press like I showed when removing the bearing. You could have done the same thing for the race, but I wanted to show how the puller worked along with it.

[@JonesAndGriesmann]

The part this man says about having to cut off the internal race is completely wrong you can pull it right off with an acetylene torch and a thick welders glove in about 4 seconds

[@georges7518]

Nice Review

[@RealToolReviews]

George S Thanks George!

[@manojpandit404]

i want need i am Indian wich satet

[@bruceg1845]

one good tool

[@SunilYadav-hd3yn]

PRICE

[@LynxStarAuto]

So besides tools, are you also an automotive technician? Stupid Toyota with those bolts that don't clear the hub, or in the case of the Tundra stupid rear axle backing plate!

[@RealToolReviews]

+Lynx Star Automotive (Gabe V) Yep, but more recently most of my time has been committed to working on reviews. I like the fact that I can actually show tools being used in real life settings & hopefully other people like that also! Also...as far as those wheel bearings go...nothing beats having the right tool for the job ;)

[@LynxStarAuto]

Real Tool Reviews Yep but its always funny when you are halfway in on the bearing installation, and realize you forgot to install the hub bolts, and they now can't be installed. LOL

[@makaynchealhalibbealkhooo9673]

1000$ lol the hub grappler way better do the complete the job and half the price

[@chiragiaikan9160]

It is good tools

[@chadshumaker2789]

Or you can just buy a whole wheel bearing with hub for nearly nothing and save yourself about 1 hour per wheel. Time is money and no sane person would do it this way.

[@trevormorgan7138]

Not worth 900 bucks for carbon steel stamped with a special name... You will never make the investment back unless you are a cheap SOB who likes to rip off customers with low quality bearings.

[@GigaDonk]

Holy shit that's expensive. Funny thing you're reviewing this I'm going to do the rear bearings on my bmw soon.

[@RealToolReviews]

GigaDonk There are definitely cheaper brands out there.....most of them have very questionable quality & literally break under pressure. This particular one costs a lot more than the 3 smaller versions, but that is because that wheel bearing was so big......also, you could have easily just gotten the splitter only (1534/4) & used the shop press to remove the inner race also. I just wanted to show how the puller part worked with the splitter.

[@frankmata1812]

Harbor freight $49.99.

[@GigaDonk]

Do you think grease or antiseize would help the race not stick to the hub so hard or doesn't matter?

[@RealToolReviews]

GigaDonk Whenever I reinstall bearings, I completely clean up the mating surfaces (inner portion of the bearing & shaft of the hub) with brake cleaner & also a white roloc bristle disc (low grit, polishes it smooth). Then I coat everything with wheel bearing grease & you still have to press it on with the shop press. Alternatively, you can run a threaded rod through the hub & bearing....then put large impact sockets on both sides that match the diameter of the hub/bearing on either side & use wrenches/ratchets to tighten nuts on both sides until they are pressed together. Not quite as efficient, but it will work.

[@LynxStarAuto]

Naw it typically doesn't matter. Sealed bearings are all in one deals where the races, bearing, and seals are all put together as one unit. Breeze come installation time, but when you have to remove one, the seal will always "give way" and one race will stay on the hub no matter what, because the race has a press fit, and the seal is not strong enough to keep the whole assembly together. Still using anti seize, or any kind of lubrication will aid in removing the race, and that is always a plus.
