400/4 Wheel Bearing - Retainer Tool
« on: February 23, 2026, 04:36:18 PM »
Found a set on ebay for400/4  Front and Rear bearing retainer removal

Handy tool, but not one you use that often?

Does anyone have a set they wish to part with ?

Cheers

Why not make your own set? They are a simple tool to make.

Thanks for that  idea

I will order one today.

It just shows the value of the forum where we can share simple hacks that make life easier and in this case save me some cash

Thanks to all.
