What Puller For Front Bearings?

Hello,


I plan on doing the front bearings in about a month and have been researching everything I'll need. One sticking point is the puller I'll need to both remove the old ones, and install the new. Specifically I need to find a puller set that has a receiving cup with an ID of greater than 90mm for the removal, and a press plate that is just the smallest fraction less than 90mm for the install. Most all the hub bearing sets I see have hardware that is too small. It seems like the press plates on all, including the oft mentioned Harbor Freight one, max out at 88mm. There are some more expensive sets I've seen around sold by the specialty sites like Baum Tools and KTC, etc that don't list the sizes included with theirs at all, which is hard to believe since that information is so important. The front hub bearing has an OD of 90mm with a very small margin where the force to install can be applied. At present my plan is to use a 90 x 65 x 5 thrust bearing washer I have on the way from McMaster Carr and affix it to the 88mm press plate in the kit I already own. For a receiving cup I can probably get by with something from the Home Depot plumbing department...Some large-ish iron fitting or something. What are all of you using for this job???
