I'm after 6900, 6903, 6800 and 17286 for my Trek remedy

I got one from superstar, it broke the first time I used it. Ended up making my own press out of some bolts, Dodds of wood etc. Work just as well, a fraction of the price and didn't break. The tool seems a great idea but would need to be convinced of its longevity

Oh, how exactly did it brake?
I've actually just found youtube videos from the guy who seems to have patented them, with his email address so have contacted him.

The problem is I've got 4 different sizes of bearings to squeeze in, in relatively tight spaces (e.g. suspension rocker) so that looks a little big, the superstar ones look ideal
