Allen Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first. Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.

In an ideal world you're correct but pulling on the cage will most often remove the bearing without any damage to the cage. The INTERNET, the MISinformation superhighway

It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.

Have the bearing tool clamped down on the race lip where the rollers used to ride up against. I think you can also buy this tool at harbor freight, just don't expect to do production work with it. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=3979 http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=93980 Allen Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first.

Been there, done that. yup, i toasted a HF puller using it the first time. no lube or anti seize It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.
