Is there such a thing as a bearing press kit that will do suspension & wheel bearings?

Tracey had linkef to a pretty good set of bearing pullers/ presses the past.

I've got similar but I still end up using bloody sockets and washers all the same but that's just me.😁

This looks good.

I like it that the adaptors have the middle stubs, these really help guide them in better, and on removal can help prevent the bearing inner race from coming out on its own and causing real problems...

I've got a Wheels MFG bearing press and drift kit they comically call "Economy" because together they're about £100.

I'm yet to find a bearing it can't press in.

As for getting the blasted things out... wtf?

Those look great but how hard would it be to include BB and headset adapters with them?

This for putting them in after the same as @Tracey 's link to get them out. Same as the Ebay link but it was cheaper when I got it. Did the frame bearings on the HB.160 dead easy, and both will do 30mm bearings.

If you have a hub where the axle needs inserted before the last bearing, the kit above will not work as you have no way of pressing in the bearing. The kit will be pushing on the axle rather than the bearing.

Lifeline make a kit which will work for frames and has been designed for use with hubs too so has extra spacers and adapters - https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/lifeline-pro-bearing-press-set/rp-prod202219
