Incredible bearing tool! was created by inline4
I bought a wheel bearing tool from an ebay seller and I have to report it is one of the best tools I've ever owned! I had both bearings out of a GSXR wheel in less than ten minutes!:woohoo: :woohoo: IMPRESSIVE!
The seller is "pitposse" and I just emailed them to let them know my experience with the tool. I can promise you I'll be buying more from them.

I guess your tool does not damage the bearing, can you describe how it worked? I'm not familiar with specialty tools, I use BFH's and drifts to do my bearing work.

No it doesn't damage the bearing at all.
You fit the correst size remover, in my case it was 20mm, then insert the large screwdriver-type bar into the slot in the remover and give it a couple of whacks with your BFH. The slot in the remover expands when you hit the bar with the hammer and the bearing just pops right out! It was actually more difficult removing the screwdriver-type bar from the tool than it was to get the bearings out.
Seriously, this is one impressive tool!

I have used them in the past, they are like a cam bearing tool, a good set will last forever, plus its one of those tools that you dont use often, but damn they are nice when you need them, also you can use them for bushings too

It was Buy It Now for $42.95 plus $8 shipping. Not cheap, but the time AND bearings saved make it a value in my book.
