I hate getting a hammer to my bike to hammer out, and then in, the bearings on my bike(s). Home made tools sometimes work, but mostly are a real pain in the ass to use and still don't do the job correctly - (off centre/axis) - not aligned etc. etc.
And as many of us have carbon bikes now using a hammer is even more of a no no. So.......
I recently acquired a set of semi-pro tools to REMOVE bearings (bearing puller) and REPLACE bearings (bearing press) that will allow me to replace MOST BB, suspension and hub bearings easily, professionally and quickly.
So if you get the bearing set you need, I will replace them for you. However, as the tools cost 'a lot', I hope for a small contribution (20.-) to recoup their cost and their use. My labour comes, as ever, "free", beers welcome + I will show you how to use them!!
So...keep me in mind when it comes to replacing the bearings - I'll be cheaper than your local shop for sure, and more fun too!!
Bearing Press - Handles ALL bearing sizes, for ALL suspension frames, also does BB's: BB30, Hollowtech 2, Hope, etc. etc.) as well as most wheel hubs.
Bearing Puller (Slide Hammer - 8mm to 30mm inner bearing diameter). Just fine for all bearings on your bike !!!
