Bearing tool recommendations - 22:48 12 Feb 11 Anyone recommend a good skate tool for popping bearings out easily?

Cheers!

Re:Bearing tool recommendations - 11:13 13 Feb 11 The axel of my quads works well! If you want to borrow it!

Also some of our team (who favour a more technical option) use a bearing press, but they are expensive. If you give me the wheel I can take it along to training and get someone to pop it out for you

Re:Bearing tool recommendations - 12:16 13 Feb 11 Not a lot of help but I find the Salomon tool is excellent but no longer available new. I did pick up one second hand on Ebay.

Nearest I can find to it is this Powerslide tool, but it doesn't have quite the same shape round the bit that grabs the bearing.

Salomon Tool

You can borrow mine for a couple of days if it helps.

Re:Bearing tool recommendations - 16:14 13 Feb 11 MCS - If I could borrow the tool, that'd be fab.

Re:Bearing tool recommendations - 18:10 13 Feb 11 I'll try to remember to bring it Tuesday. - In fact if I put in in the bag with my Quads now there is a good chance!

Re:Bearing tool recommendations - 18:20 13 Feb 11 Another great tool you can't get since Salomon left the skate scene

A great talk from @davecarroll at #DigitalSurrey tonight. He's the writer of the United Breaks Guitars song and a great talker - Twitter Status

Re:Bearing tool recommendations - 07:51 14 Feb 11 I tend to just use something round that fits in the hole. By rotating it around they tend to pop out easily enough. ! Skate Monkey !

This method, poorly executed is why my bearings look suspiciously like I've bashed them back into shape with the various flat surfaces on my desk.

hmm, that looks possibly alright! I'd just like to see it demo'd!
