Morning,
Recently acquired a lovely S150 frame and want to do a new paint job. Planning on stripping the bearings but as i'm a hardtail heathen i'm unsure where to start with being pullers.
Any advice? Are they needed or can I use sockets etc to drift them out?
Cheers
Chris
Have a look here, should be a kit for the 150

I used that kit on my t130 really easy to use.
Only one which had rusted in was the problem at the rear for me
I’ve just done the bearings on my whyte s150. Most are easy just the two behind the bb that i struggled with. I used a press from Kinetic bearings on all apart from these to extract and install. Then realised that the kinetic tool won’t work on the ones by the bb. I had to buy the ones linked above to get them out and the new ones in. I didn’t fancy smacking the bike with a hammer but had to in the end. Bike feels great now. Good luck.
Thank you. I’ve bought a set from the link up there and will see how they go
