Default Centerlock Removal

Anyone try using the SIR bearing tool to remove the centerlock hubs? Can you use it?

I did but not on the car as they suggest leaving the knuckles on the car. I used their pieces and my 20 ton press for some steps and a socket wrench for other steps. It just depended on whether I could get it set up on the press or not.
