608 or 8mm Wheelchair Blind Bearing Puller/Extractor

Description

If you want your wheelchair to move faster, go farther and smoother, then you have to maintain your wheelchair’s bearings.  Your wheelchair has bearings in three places: front caster, front fork, and rear wheels.  Most wheelchair manufacturers say you need to re-grease or change your front caster bearings yearly, and the forks and rear bearings as needed.  With the right tools, this is easy to do.  This 8mm Blind Bearing Puller/Extractor allows you to remove 8mm bearings found in your wheelchair's front caster wheels.

Features

1. Easy to use - this tool is designed specifically to remove bearings from wheelchair rear hubs or front forks
2. Cost-effective - you don’t have to buy an entire set of tools just for one or two sizes
3. Right tool for the job - most bearing tools are designed for bicycles or cars, not wheelchairs, so you have to make them work, which can damage your gear
4. Less risk of damage - specialized tool reduces the risk of damaging hub or front fork as compared to using a flat head screwdriver
5. Specialized design - designed to accommodate recessed hub for rear wheelchair wheels

Problems this product solves:

Problem 1:  Automotive bearing pullers pull from the lip of the inside ring of the bearing, but a wheelchair hub axle sleeve can prevent the puller from grabbing the ring

Problem 2:  Bicycle bearing pullers/extractor are very expensive.
