This tool features a 6” steel cone cylinder with an integrated bearing in its base, nested in an 8.5” heavy base. By placing the hub on the tip of the cone, technicians can effortlessly rotate it with one hand while applying heat from an oxyacetylene torch. The torch evenly raises the temperature of the inner bearing race by a few hundred degrees, causing it to expand and release from the hub due to its tight tolerance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Inner Race Hub Saver offers significant cost and time savings. The technician can replace the bearing assembly for around $45-70 in just about 5 minutes, compared to the usual $200-500 cost and 30-45 minutes of manual labor. This tool not only streamlines the bearing replacement process but also minimizes downtime and labor costs for automotive professionals.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eADDITIONAL INFO\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"desc-table-mob\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"table-head-resp\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShort Description\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"table-text-resp\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSave Time!
