A few days back there was a post asking about an eBay Bearing Puller but I can't find it 🙁
Please can anyone who's better at searching than me post a link?
Thanks

Do you mean a bearing puller, or bush drift thing?
Think it was a puller? But I'm after a tool to remove bearings from a Surly singlespeed hub or Hope hub more elegantly than a hammer and chisel.
Type 'blind bearing puller' and find the size you need
Full set from tool tool mart is about £100. Blind bearing collet set with slide hammer.
I've got this one. Very usefull.

I found a set on Amazon for £29, [url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00OIPV3NQ/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AIKL8E165NJOU ]linky[/url] no idea of the quality..
I also found ones for about £10 but that was single size and you had to tap them out yourself.
I got one of these off eBay for £23 recently:
It's very useful overall, but I find there's too big a jump in size between each expander, but I'm not complaining for that price.
To give an example of sizes, the largest of those expanders just squeezes behind the bearing of a Shimano press-fit BB92, and gets it out nicely. An example of gaps between expander sizes: The smallest expander (1) was too small for a 6802 bearing, and the next size up (2) was too big, but after grinding the edge of (2) down, it fitted a 6802 just right.
I can double check the fitting with a 6803 if you want ?
Overall, OK product, but I would only recommend it for blind bearings where you have no choice - for parts like suspension linkage where you can get a bearing driver behind the bearing, I much prefer pressing the bearings out.

If it's not too much trouble, yes please!
To be fair I brought the automotive set but that set from superstar is great looking value!
