Hi all, not sure if this is the right section- but I made myself a simple bearing puller to suit the rear hub bearings, and just wondered if anyone would be interested, as you need a press or a huge vice to do it otherwise!

Pic is below- it just means you can change your own bearings for free for MOT's etc, very easy job, I could make up kits with a drift for getting the old ones out too, and thinking about the front hubs as well. Any input welcome!



Cheers,
TC

Would be interested depending on price

I don't know why you apparently need a press or a vice, but I've always used a either the old bearing or a suitable socket to gently hammer the new bearings in.

Only because it's not the best practice to hammer new bearings in, although I'm not saying it can't be done. I can't imagine any serious motorsport teams hammer new bearings in place, and they only care about things being done correctly so their cars are reliable!

Looks good. great if it gets the bearings seated properly.

Thanks, I just thought if I can knock some up and create a little set to help people do it themselves it could make life better for people who don't have all the big tools/know-how to do it themselves, and saves paying a garage to do it!

Looks good. How much would you do them for?

I'll look into pricing tomorrow :)
