Whatever you do, don't get that web of skin at the bottom of you thumb caught between the staft and the slide hammer when you're knocking out a bearing
It hurts like fek

Anyone any experience with the Sealey AK999 blind bearing puller and the XBs? Looking to get build up all the tools I need to change tyres, balance wheels and change bearings. Will it do the job? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sealey-AK999-Bl ... B000RO1HOW |

Surprisingly good if you take care setting it up properly. Finding lead weights can be a problem these days, but it's easy enough to cast your own using roofing lead. |

You do your own tyre changes don't you? Just use some tyre levers? Is it easy to break the bead on a motorbike tyre with hand tools? |

that bearing puller looks as if it presses against the wheel, you would have to use something to protect the wheel. good price though. i use the clarke puller. but it cost 3 times as much now. http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/produ ... puller-set |

B000RO1HOW That type of puller has it's uses but not the best for easy removal of wheel bearings..........from that pic it looks like the type where you have to remove the seal and then break open the bearing cage to creat a gap between the balls, you then insert the adaptor into the races and turn 90 degrees. |

Interesting. I've actually got the wheel off my bike just now (puncture grrr) - I'll investigate. |

Seen those before, but I wouldn't want to risk using one on a XB wheel, just a little concerned that it would damage the inner faces. |
