Bont Skates - Aluminum Bearing Press Puller - Fits up to 125mm Wheels - Inline Speed Skating Racing Scooter

This tool works great on everything except Bont Avenger wheels ironically. The Avenger wheel hub gives the tool nothing to push on. However for all other wheels it is very satisfying to use and makes the job of removing and installing bearings very satisfying

Quickly and effectively install / remove almost any bearings from wheels. I have only tried it with skate board bearings and it works awesome.

The Bont Aluminum Bearing Press Puller is hands down the best skate accessory I’ve ever bought! It’s incredibly easy to use and has made the process of pressing and pulling bearings a breeze. The quality is top-notch, and the design is both functional and durable.What’s even better is how much fun it is to use. It’s satisfying to see how efficiently it handles bearing changes, making routine maintenance on my skates so much more enjoyable.

I too had issues with my unit not fitting several brands of 608 bearings. Attempted to work it out with Bont customer service… after providing both pics and videos, kept getting the runaround and returned it for a refund. Noticing other reviews with same issue, I can’t help but wonder if there is at least one defective unit that keeps getting returned and resold without being inspected. Keep your packaging until you’re certain it works!

I didn’t quite understand why someone would need something like this until I injured my hand and needed some assistance seating some bearings. After the first time using it I suddenly realized that I was a fool living in a fog of ignorance. The bearing press and bearing puller are so convenient and instantly became a regularly used part of my toolbox. The ability to sit the bearings with precision greatly improves the quality of your experience so cheap bearings become better bearings and good bearings become GREAT bearings. This was the most impressive factor for me. This is a MUST have if you’re using aluminum core wheels. The speed and precision for changing bearings or setting up a new set of wheels is unmatched, the tool makes a tedious task much faster and less annoying. Can’t imagine living without it!

Really nice and well made. Made the job way easier. Removes the bearings nicely too compared to having to stick a tool in and rip them out.

Works great - just as advertised - On 1 use so far. Pulled a bearing from a metal hub easily. One concern so far is, the reports of the pulling hook breaking from fatigue failure are yet to pan out for me. On one hand the hook looks a bit inadequately beefy, and if the metallurgy is bad the hook could crumple at any moment.

My wheels and bearings arrived before this did so I installed them on my desk by just pressing down. I installed the wheels and rode the skates for a week before watching a video on how to adjust the frames. While doing that I had to remove a couple wheels and for grins put them in the press. Voila! There was a small but noticeable crack or two on each wheel and after doing this they fit perfectly in the frames and I could evenly torque the axels.Conclusion: yes, you can get away with not having a bona-fide press but having one makes wheel and bearing installation so much easier, enjoyable and precise. Most importantly the ride is now quieter with no random rattling or tight wheels.
