00:00If you've ever tried to knock a stubborn bearing out of a hub or a bottom bracket with a screwdriver
00:04and a hammer,
00:05you already know how that story ends, scratched frames, ruined bearings, and a lot of words you can't say on
00:10YouTube.
00:11So I went digging and pulled together the 5 best bearing puller tools for bike repair, all of them at
00:16prices that honestly surprised me.
00:19Let's get into it.
00:21Starting off cheap and cheerful, we've got this aluminum alloy bearing loading and unloading tool.
00:26It handles inner holes from 2 all the way up to 14mm, so it covers most of the small bearings
00:32you'll run into on a bike, pivot bearings, pulley wheels, that sort of thing.
00:36The best part is it presses bearings in and pushes them out, so you're not buying two separate tools.
00:42At $6.16, this is basically an impulse buy, and nearly 5,000 people have already grabbed it with a
00:49perfect 5-star rating.
00:51If you're just getting into home wrenching, start here.
00:54Stepping up, this is the inner bearing remover set covering 9-23mm.
01:00What I like about this one is the range, it comes with multiple collets, so one kit handles pretty much
01:05every sealed bearing on a modern mountain bike,
01:07and it works on motorcycles too if you've got one sitting in the garage.
01:11The expanding collet grips from the inside and the slide hammer does the work, so you're not prying against your
01:17frame.
01:19$24.25 for a full set is genuinely good value, and with a 4.8 rating from over 4,000
01:25buyers, people clearly aren't disappointed.
01:28Now if you want a beefier version of that same idea, take a look at this 9-23mm extractor kit.
01:35Same size coverage, but the build quality is a step up, heavier slide hammer, better machining on the collets,
01:41and it just feels more solid when you're yanking on a bearing that's been seized in there for three seasons.
01:46It's $34.55, so you are paying a bit more, but the 4.9 rating tells you it holds up.
01:52If you're working on bikes regularly, or you're the friend everyone brings their bike to, this is the one that
01:58won't wear out on you.
01:59This next one is the bearing disassembly and puller set, and it's the most complete kit on the list.
02:05You get the extractor, the pulling attachments, and everything laid out in a case so you're not hunting for pieces
02:10on the garage floor at 10 at night.
02:13It's rated a perfect 5 stars, and for $36.01, you're basically getting a shopgrade setup for less than one
02:20bike shop service charge.
02:22If you plan on doing your own suspension pivots or hub rebuilds, this pays for itself the very first time
02:27you use it.
02:29And rounding things out, we've got another 9-23mm puller set at $24.17, the best price in that size
02:35range on this list.
02:37It does the same core job as the pricier kits, expanding collet, slide hammer, clean removal without damaging the bearing
02:43seat.
02:44It's a 4.8 rating with over 4,000 sold, so it's proven.
02:49Honestly, if you only need to do a bearing swap once or twice a year, there's no reason to spend
02:54more than this.
02:55It's the smart middle ground pick.
02:58All the links are down in the description, so go check current prices, they move around a lot.
