Very disappointed. The tool sat funny on the flywheel, then I noticed the legs on the U shaped saddle are not the same length. When I first began to try pulling the bearing, the legs started to spread, so I needed to use a C clamp to keep them from spreading. Finally, the jaws which went inside the pilot bearing flexed and popped out of the bearing. I had to re-insert the jaws, and then put a spacer between them to stop the flexing. In the end, I got the job done, but it wasn't because of the tool, it was in spite of it.

Kinda Cheap
I tried using this to pull a pilot bearing out of a 49' Chevy Pickup. You'll notice that the "teeth" on the end that are supposed to grab the back end of the bearing have a slight taper - Why? it just slips off the back of the bearing. The arms flex as well when you tighten it up.
I could not get any grab on the bearing and this tool did not do the job.
Pass this one up, there is a reason why it's fairly cheap, comes with a nice case though.
