Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So I bought a Sir Tools B-90 P2 last fall from another forum member. Plans to change all four bearings in a couple weeks. Question is, anyone have experience doing the fronts with this tool? There's a post on Rennlist, not very descriptive but sounds like this will work with hub still on the car. User states you need to loosen the shock mount to drop it enough to get the front spindle out, but it works. Oh, and excited to remove secondary cats so I can drop the rear axles, got a set of Top Speed bypass pipes to install... w00t!!!

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
