Rear axle bearing remover
Blue-Point's rear axle bearing remover is designed to speed bearing removal on free-floating
axles. Techs no longer need a slide hammer for removal when they use this tool, as an impact
wrench will work to pull stubborn bearings. The tool removes bearings 1" I.D.
to 2-7/8" I.D.
