Check in Tech, BillaVista has a write up on it.
Worth the money if you plan on doing many.

We have their bearing removal tool and its worth its weight in gold. Granted Im doing sometimes 5+ axles a week but still - its a very usefull tool. It almost NEVER damages the bearing while removing it unless you put the clam shell thingys on wrong or the bearing is already getting ready to fall apart. This is nice if your not using setup bearings or an instal kit which does happen from time to time. Not to mention it saves loads of time - im sure its more than payed for itself over the last 6 months we have had it.

I was quoted 420.00 + shipping, that was why I didn't buy the set, Waiting for KD to start making them for half the price, Randy's has the market cornered on them right now.

This place is pushing Yukon gearsets, but is their puller the same thing? Me thinks not........ maybe I'm wrong

Had mine going on 4 years now. Like mentioned above, it is worth its weight in gold. I have the third adaptor for D80's and other larger bearing axles. That is an extra $189. I use mine lamost every day, and I have only had a handful of bearings that it wouldn't pull off. Just from bearings being to worn out for the puller to do it's job.
