Rear Bearing Install Tools

I was just wondering, does everybody use those really expensive tools to install rear wheel bearings?

Yes, I have used them. I bought a set from a guy who makes them on eBay. The tools were very well made and less than half the price of the catalogs. Could not have done the job without them.

I did make my own removal tool from steel channel.

i couldnt justify buying them for a job i may do 2-3 times total in my lifetime. i just rented the tools from duntov motors. i think it was 200 for the rental, and 150 refunded with the return of hte tools.
