Sure Grip Bearing Press Review

I like wheels with aluminum hubs. With some effort I was able to put the bearings in with a small Swiss bearing tool, but I couldn't get them out without damaging them with a screwdriver. The puller works great here. The press also helps set the bearings straighter (less runout) than a hand press and is much easier. I have a flat wheel and didn't want to buy bearings and wheels. This puller will pay for itself in the end.

For wheels with a diameter of 70 mm or less. I'm going to grind down the press so I can put my 80mm wheels in, but I can put the bearings in my current skates by hand so I really only need them as a puller and not a press. It is important to note that the tip of the puller screws in and out. So if it's too tight to grab your bearings like mine did when I got it, just unscrew it until it works.

Sometimes it sticks a little, but just wiggle it freely. I collect back and go in order warehouse, wheel, separator and then the warehouse. Before you pinch and push, make sure everything lines up by holding the wheel. You don't want to bend the bearings. Once you understand how to improve the process, it's very…

The bearings are not seated properly and it takes a lot of strength to get the bearing out of the impeller. My husband has a metal grinder and will grind it down to mount the bearings. Therefore we will not return it. However, if someone is not as comfortable as my spouse, this product will be extremely frustrating and disappointing. It also doesn't bolt on tightly…

I play roller derby and wanted a bearing press because I find it difficult and time consuming to remove wheel bearings with a regular bearing tool. My initial solution to this problem was to buy a set of bearings for every additional set of wheels I bought, but that got expensive. What made me choose this particular camp press is that it is portable and doesn't need to be attached to a table. This allows me to bring it to practice and fights and to share it with other skaters. One thing I would
