Works well for in a home garage if your doing engine work. I've done several sets of LS cam bearings with this for removal and install. Make sure you have the bearing fully seated against the collet shoulder or you will damage them on install.

I used this to drive in cam bearings into a Ford 460 Big Block. This style isn't as easy as one of the puller-style installers but costs substantially less. A couple of tips:-Don't overtighten the installer while in the bearing before driving in, as thinner bearings can expand enough to catch the lip of the block's bore-If installing the #1 cam bearing from the front, the cone isn't used to center on another hole. If you can, install the very front bearing from the rear, as the cone can be used on the very rearward hole to center the front bearing. If you have to install the #1 from the front, make sure its centered as best you can because #1 is always the most difficult to align-Do not lube the bore of the block (ie, the outside of the cam bearing) or you will spin the bearing. You can also use a brake cylinder hone to slightly clean up the bores for an easier install of the bearings-I also ground a very slight chamfer in the block bores, to allow the bearing to center and slide in easier-Machine shops are really good options to install cam bearings, but with some patience and attention to detail this tool works very well

Worked great for my LQ4 6.0 ls. My only complaint is there was no way to shorten it for the last couple cam bearings.

Worked perfect to install the cam bearings on a jeep 4.0. Nothing complicated with this tool. It isnt a "professional grade" tool but great for the shadetree guy to get the job done with. good value for the money

This tool works fantastic for bearing removal by itself, and it also works great for bearing installation when used properly. Very good tool to have around if you do a lot of engine work.

This tool worked great. Instructions are clear on how to use. Important to follow the instructions or you may break this tool.

Worked perfect for installing the bearings on the LS we are building. Will be useful for future work too.

I will preface this by saying the tool worked fine when i used it to remove my bearings, as a bearing removal tool id give it 3 or so stars, subtracting two stars for the bad machining making it range from pita to almost impossible to remove when you tighten it enough to make a lip for the bearing.However there is no way i would rate this product anything higher than 1 star as a bearing installation tool. It is simply poorly designed and made with the lowest quality of chinesium. Both the inner expander (as most of the other reviews are saying) and the first bearing I attempted to install were completely destroyed. The expanders slipped inside the bearing during install and gutted the bearing, despite tightening the tool as much as possible.Before you consider saving 20-30 bucks with this dumpster fire, remember it will cost you another $25 minimum when you need to buy a second set of bearings, assuming the tool survives the first install attempt.

Arrived 3 days early. Worked perfect. Lighter than others that I’ve used which was nice. Probably not a high use tool but for the occasional engine rebuild that I do I’m sure it will last me many many years.
