Bearing pulling kit??

Hey guys, any recommendations on a bearing pulling kit? I need to remove wheel bearing on my spare wheels so I can get them powder coated. As they are still in great nick I'd rather not bodge them out with cold chisel. Also its a nice bit of kit to have in the tool box. Not looking to spend a fortune though so no Snap On thanks guys.

Definitely not Snap-On, and I'm presuming that MotionPro is distributed over there (?).





If that's too much, I'm sure there are Chinese or Indian made knock-offs of blind bearing puller sets - for cheap.

Over here, a lot of us head straight for Harbor Freight for our cheap Chinese/Indian tool fix:

Last year I got a Sykes-Pickavant split collet extractor kit - which worked a treat on the wheel bearings - see here >



Not cheap but you can find online for a reasonable amount - I hate tools that break or wear out so don't mind paying a little extra.

I found a Draper one http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0054LEXEO/r ... B0054LEXEO I know not the best kit ever but I am likely to be pulling a couple of bearings a year so this might be good enough. Thanks for input guys.

klink that,s the same as the blue-point one that snapon do
they can still mess up your bearings but do make them easy to remove

Cheers Graham. Don't think I'll beat that deal for the money. Always a good thing to have in the tool chest as well.

oxy torch... heat the sonnn biatch up....

Try Tooled Up in the UK, Great service, fast delivery,some good deals, I get a lot of tools from them

Keep in mind that any axial load (banging with a slide hammer etc.) on a radial ball bearing assembly during removal will damage the balls and races (even with the proper sized collet being used). Little dents in the balls and races are the result.

Rule of thumb, if you remove a blind bearing by applying force to the opposite race, replace the bearing.

The nice bearing removal tools available are there simply to ease removal...not prevent the aformentioned damage. Bearings are cheap if bought from a bearing supply shop. Pop your old bearings out and take them with you to supply house. They can match them up at fraction of the cost from dealer.

Example: $21 USD for 1ea front wheel bearing for a YZ450F from Stealer. They take 2 = $42. Bearing supplier charged $2.35 ea for the exact same bearing (same manufacturer, same P/N, same everything). 2 = $4.70. 10% of the cost.

cheers guys. Spoke to the powder coater yesterday and he will remove all the bearings for £10. As much as I fancy a kit the money needs to be put aside for gas flowing and the rebuild. Will hopefully get one a bit later in the year when funds are looking more healthy.
