Thanks Andrew I use that tool at work regularly and didn't know who made it. Over the years I've used a bunch of different removers and this one is the best I've used. I've used quite a few presses and the best one was one made from specially turned down pieces to match each cup and hub size. I've made a fine one from an old solid axle and a pair of dead cups and some washers. Just remove a little material from the dead cup and flip it around and use it to press edge to edge. best, brandon"monkeyman"Ives Vancouver, B.C.
