I have a second hand nomad wondered if any of you guys use blind bearing pullers for your linkage?
eBay do some for around £30.
Worth it?
Yes
We got a set last year which work great. Also bought the kit for putting the new ones back in
Are these the ones with the sliding hammer?
Tracey, am I right in thinking a bearing punch can remove all bearings except the blind chainstay ones on Specialized bikes?
Make sure they are small enough for all the linkage bearings. I bought one and only one of the pullers was small enough for all the bearings on my bike and after using it twice it lost its bite and stopped working. I sent it back.
As always there is a reason tools cost money and you get what you pay for.
I bought one from seller rjebearingpress (<£30 del), what a fantastic little set, did all my Anthem bearings in 5 minutes. I'm sure it would remove them too but I'd already done that with socket&hammer.
Got one of these
and one of these
Done every thing we have wanted them to do so far
[url= http://wheelsmfg.com/presses-tools.html ]This site[/url] was recommended to me. Someone on here was also trying to source the now discontinued Superstar extractors..?
Having just changed all my bearings with a threaded rod and socket set, I will be investing in an extractor and some decent drifts for next time.
Commenting so i can find this feed later on. Fancy that extractor that tracey recommends (thanks for link)
