Im too old to spend ages whacking myself off with a hammer to squeeze out a few bearings

those cheap blind bearing pulling kits on ebay, will they work for my main pivot bearings or do i need to stump up the cash for a superstar one?

I bought a cheap one on ebay a bit like that. Worked a treat. Ultimately it’s an expanding wedge with a slide hammer. Hardly a precision tool.

I borrowed exactly that one from a mate to replace some hope hub bearings. I then had to buy him a new one 😳

You need to use a smaller puller than you (read I) might think, so the expandy bit inside screws right down to the end of the puller. Otherwise, when you try to tighten it enough to get a grip, it snaps off some of the wedge bits.

Still, I’ve got most of a bearing puller kit of my own now 😀

cheap ebay one worked fine for SC pivot bearings here.

I invested in the dearer automotive set…..to use on mtb and car….worked a treat on some badly abused seized in Kona Coiler main bearings. Never used it on wheel bearings just use my trusty fast pin drift and hammer.
