Good tool but requires study and attention
The cam bearing tool is hefty. I have used it for removal only. I will use it for installation later in my build. But I'll write this review now to get these people off my back asking me for a review.
The tool works well. The most important thing is how well the user is familiar with the process. It is very easy to mess up the thin cam bearings. The instructions that are packed with the tool are not adequate for a novice. There are better instructions that can be downloaded from the JEGS website that illustrate how to set the tool up properly. One should be sure they understand how the tool is designed to work before attempting installation. It the expander is not selected properly and installed and adjusted properly the cam bearing will be garbage.

Works great for the cost
Great tool works well enough, only thing I would change is the driver mounting to be a little more secure hand it pop of the spindle a couple times knocking out large cam bearings in a Deere 404

Cam Bearing Removal
Works great, took me a few minutes to learn to properly adjust for bearing size, but once I figured it out I was driving out bearings without delay. Great tool, I'll be using it often on my retirement project cars!!

Skookum as frigg
I bought this to do cam and countershaft bearing in a 3306 cat. Was a little worried the the max size is only .010" bigger than the bore for the bearings. This was not a problem and actually had to use the second from largest adapter. Got the job done easily and I am quite happy
