1. A system for use in measuring an endplay of a bearing of a wheel hub assembly, the system comprising: a structure configured to contact an end of a shaft of the wheel hub assembly; a frame having a measurement probe attached thereto, said probe configured to contact said structure to measure relative movement between a hub of the wheel hub assembly and said shaft 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; a handle connected to said frame; and 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 huh relative to the shaft.
