As above - 2017 6fattie Stumpy has split pivot bearings throughout...
I've got a press, but these mean I can't push them out, it needs to be a blind puller.
Blind bearing hammer
I used this but just the insert per bearing and knock from the opposite side each time
Cheers
I have a similar set with the sliding hammer from Ebay, No problems removing any from our Specializeds
The set HFB links to is similar to what I've got Matt.
Which set did you go for @Tracey? I've been looking at various sets on eBay but they all seem to be from China. No problem with that if the quality is good.
Hhhhmmmmm.... Like that blind puller set hopefiendboy posted. Must resist as I actually don't need them.
Yet.😉
I went with the one with more bits in. Cost under £30, and came from a UK seller. I also bought a multi bearing press at the same time. Had them a few years and quality is good. I've had a quick look and can't find the sellers now.
Its like most tools, when you need them it worthwhile having the right ones. Makes the job so much easier 😉
I've got the slide hammer with 8 bits in...it works well but the jump between sizes is quite large, for example to remove bearings for a HT II BB, one size is too large to fit and the next size down won't expand enough. So I put a jubilee clip around the larger one to compress it slightly to get it in the bearing, slacken it off to use the puller, and then tighten it to remove the tool!
They all come from China unless they are at a huge price premium, (even the recognisable brands like Halfords, Sealey, Silverline) but I'd try and buy from a UK seller incase you need a return. Try Amazon
I use these for mine, work well and not spendy.
I picked up this, but didnt get on with it for my 2017 Enduro, remember it being a pig to use, very fine line I found between not tight enough and shoots across the garage or too tight and breaks the race inner. I did manage to get a couple out okay, but there were one or two which were too much for it and I got a shop to remove them and push in all the new ones.
Considering one of the Rapid Racer Sets now.
OP, if you cover postage you can have them off me
Thanks all - I am borrowing LD's then will buy my own.
