anyone have a front wheel bearing removal tool for a suzuki sidekick/geo tracker?

[sixstringsteve]

I need to replace my front wheel bearing on my tracker, but suzuki requires a special tool to remove the nut holding the bearing in. Does anyone have one I can borrow or know where I can buy one by tomorrow? It looks like a socket with pins sticking out of it.

Here's the nut I have to get off:




And here's the tool:

Build one, buy a cheap socket and weld some studs to it. Really common on the Toyota applications.

chisel or get a socket and remove the material until you have four pins

That's a good idea. It needs to withstand 150 ft/lbs

Steve If you need a press,and ones not avalable close to you , let me know i have one in my shop.

Thanks rick. I invested in a 20t press last year.

Is it a different size/pattern than the hub sockets they rent or sale at the auto parts store? I've seen a few different size ones that look just like it. On a side note, when did you get another Tracker?

 

[sixstringsteve]

I've never seen hub tools like this before. Maybe ill check my local auto parts store to see if they have anything like that. Chans, have you ever seen tools like that for rent?

I got the tracker on Sunday.

I swear I have seen a tool set to rent with them in it at Checker and Autozone. Have not been in much since they became O'reilly so not sure if they still have them. Pep Boys have a few different ones that look like it for sale.

I think they rent similar sets as this

pretty sure i seen one that looks like that at harbor freight the other day when i was there?

Let me go check my set. I have a set with 4-5 different ones in it.


now where did I put that set years ago???

 

[Caleb]

Not sure if it's the correct size but I have this one:



If it will work, you are welcome to borrow it. It says it's a 2 3/8"

 

[sixstringsteve]

sweet, thanks Caleb. I just bought a socket at vatozone. I need to see if it fits or not.

 

[meach4x4]

Sooo, you have another track/kick, eh? Funny thing, because I'm looking for one for my next project, too. We're hopeless!

 

[sixstringsteve]

Well, it turns out the tool I bought from Autozone is too big and doesn't fit. The distance from tooth to tooth is 1.5". Do any of yours match that size Caleb?
