That is one SWEET piece of hardware.    I played with it at a 'Vair 
Fair and removed/reinstalled a couple of bearings just to see how 
easy it was...  too easy.    And you're right about taking the 
bearing off without damage allowing you to reinstall the same bearing.

However, I've not checked to see how much Clark's gets for the tool; 
almost afraid to check...


Regardless of the tool's price...  I still wish the bearings were a 
little bit cheaper.
