Wheel Bearing Press: How Much Tonnage Do You Really Need?

In this video, I review the cheapest bearing press / puller I could find on eBay and find out the hard way whether 6 tons of force is actually enough to remove a stubborn wheel bearing. Short answer: not for an MX-5 wheel bearing. I go through: First impressions of a cheap 6-ton bearing press Build quality and setup Trying (and failing) to press out a wheel bearing Adding heat, leverage, and questionable ideas Why tonnage matters more than you think Upgrading the jack and what finally worked Lessons learned before you waste your money This isn’t a sponsored review and I’m not pretending to be a mechanical engineer — just sharing real-world experience so others don’t make the same mistake. ⚠️ Warning: Over-pressurising tools and modifying presses can be dangerous. Don’t copy the stupid bits — this is shown for educational purposes only. If you’re looking at cheap bearing presses and wondering “6 ton or 12 ton?”, hopefully this helps you choose before you click buy. #cardiy #bearingpress #productreview #productreviews
