no you don't. That puller does the job without anything else. I've used it dozen of times. Installing the bearing is no issue. Using a hammer and the old inner race, big socket, piece of pipe etc will do that job.



You did not read the op's first thread, he pulled off the cage and rollers, so there is no cage to grab onto anymore.

Depending on the interference fit I normally will not go banging on any bearings to install them.

Wrong again. That tool doesn't require that the bearing has a cage or rollers since it grabs the inner race so that the bearing can be reused like when setting diff bearing preload on a Dana.



This is one of those things you would have to show me, without the cage and rollers your tool does not have a shoulder to grab onto.


your tool


similar tool in action with cage

Op mention not having a case that has a puller groove machined behind the bearing

Show me it happening without the cage.
