  • a follower configured to contact an end of a shaft of a wheel hub assembly;

    said follower received in a holder such that said follower is movable relative to said holder to allow said follower to extend from said holder to contact the end of the shaft;

    a frame having a measurement probe attached thereto, said probe configured to contact said follower and measure relative movement of said follower to determine an endplay of a bearing of the hub assembly on the shaft;

    said frame comprising a plurality of legs extending from said frame to a hub of the hub assembly mounted on said shaft and coupled to said bearing to support said frame relative to the hub; and

    a handle connected to said frame, said frame, said plurality of legs and said handle sufficiently rigid to allow a user to apply a force to said handle to move the hub in an axial direction relative to the shaft until a cessation of movement of the hub relative to the shaft.
