LS/4.8/5.3/6.0 cam bearing installation tool for less than $45

[bnoon]

I started with an axle bearing race installation kit from Harbor Freight for $37 out the door. Several aluminum race installation hubs were included. I used the 59mm one for the extraction and the combination of the 59mm and 63mm for the installation. I had to drill the centers out to the 5/8" all thread and hardware ($8 from a local Farm & City supply store) and I had to sand down the edge of the 59mm hub to clear the OD of the center 3 bearings because the early blocks at least run slightly larger OD on the outer two, slightly less on the next two, and center is the smallest and only by a few thousanths each step. A few taps and they pop out, and the install takes a bit longer as I have to assemble the 63mm hub inside the block each time, but it works!!!!
