Default Anyone ever used a hub tamer on an S2k?

I'm going to be trying to do the wheel bearings this weekend. I don't have a press, but a friend has a OTC Hub Tamer that I'm going to borrow (this guy - http://www.amazon.com/OTC-6537-Tamer.../dp/B000O1E54W). Has anyone used that on an S2k to press the wheel bearings/hubs? If so, did you have to take the knuckle/spindle off or could you actually do it on the car?

Any tips and tricks or just a "it's possible" would be great

Well I have confirmed it won't work on the front even if you take the spindle off. We'll see about the rear.

It's pretty easy to get the hubs out with a slide hammer with everything still on the car. Getting the bearings out w a slide hammer shouldnt be too much work.. getting everything back in is the hard part.

I think i could make something to get the bearings pushed in, but getting the hub back in is where i'm stuck.. maybe a bigger hammer... haha
