The correct size should be selected from the drop-down menu above to match the bearing's reference number or inside diameter and bearing width (for this tool the bearing's outside diameter doesn't matter). Each tool is suitable for one combination of bearing ID and width.
Designed to extract the sealed cartridge bearings that are found on many brands of bicycle hub and full suspension MTB frames, this tool can even remove the small bearings, 'blind' bearings and back-to-back bearings that other tools can't
- Removes 'blind' and back to back bearings
- Each puller is engraved with it's size for easy identification
- Precision engineered from 303 stainless steel
- Designed & manufactured in the UK, shipped internationally
Tips:
If your bearing has good access to both sides (i.e., not a back-to-back or blind bearing) then our wind-out bearing puller might be a better option
If you would prefer a wind-out option for your blind bearings, check out our wind-out blind bearing puller

V2 Expanding Pullers
We are now shipping our V2 expanding puller. The V2 tool includes several important improvements:
- Grip has been greatly increased by including a ridge at the end of the tool to engage with the chamfer on the inside diameter of the bearing
- Tool durability has been increased by machining all sizes from 303 stainless steel
- The force required to tighten the tool has been reduced by refinding the tool profile
All of our tools are designed and precision machined by ourselves, here in the UK, and shipped internationally.
How To
The bearing puller tool is simple to use. As well as the puller you will need a pair of spanners (or one spanner and a set of pliers), a hammer and a rod/drift/old bolt to tap the tool out with
- Insert the circular end of the tool into the centre of the bearing. Grip the body of the tool across it's flats with a spanner or pliers and tighten the nut. This will expand the tool, gripping the bearing
- With the hub/frame supported on a bench or block of wood, the bearing and tool can be tapped out together by simply insert a rod/drift/old bolt into the other side of the bearing and tapping the end of the rod with a hammer
See our Manuals page to download the more detailed instruction sheets which come with our puller orders, now available in several languages.
Here's a quick demo of the tool's use on a hub:
Note that each tool is specific to one bearing size. It is designed to match the internal diameters and width of the bearing and can't be used on bearings of different size
Our tools can be selected either by the bearing size or by the bearing's standard reference code.
Standard references take the form of a three or four digit number, such as 688, or 6902 for example. These codes are often moulded onto the bearing's seal. You might see something like 6902-2RS on the seal. The first digits are the standard reference. The second part (2RS in this case) refers to the seal type and doesn't matter for tool selection.
Alternatively, tools can be selected by their inside (ID) and outside (OD) diameters and width.
Note that each tool is specific to one bearing size and can’t be used on bearings with different dimensions.
