Cam bearing removal tool

[racingsnake440]

Has anyone used one of the universal cam bearing removal/installation tool? I'm looking at maybe a Lisle LIS18000 or an ATD 8620. They both seem pretty comparable on price $150ish and features. How easy are they to use and get good results?

Yes, I have one, used it with ease. Keep the engine still and sturdy when knocking the bearings in, there a one shot deal. Mess up and you need a new bearing to knock in. There easy to line up to knock in but will require a bit of care while knocking in. You don't want to go to far. Line the holes up and wack away easy. Better to creap in slowly raqther than wack it and go to far.
