You've outdone yourself this time! Great job.

I like how you kept improving it well past being serviceable to the point where it became user friendly. Well thought out and executed.

Thank you Steve from Croatia. Today I made the tool and successfully extracted bearing without a single hit with the hammer. Thank you very much!

I like your way of thinking Steve! Whenever I'm lacking specialist tool to perform a task I look around toolbox, garage shelf, kitchen even behind the shed for something to catch my eye. 9 out of 10 I come up with servicable tool then depending on needs and convenience I decide if it's worth to buy proper stuff. Thanks for inspirational videos.

This is awesome Steve! I used a standard BB cup tool and ran a bolt through that and used the same filed off washer idea for the puller. You make really simple tool videos and I love them!

Mate... Best video I've seen this year on KZread! Fantastic work. Congratulations

Brilliant video which I have now used to extract a very troublesome press-fit BB. Thanks a million, you're a real start, keep up the good work. Richard in Devon, UK

this is what actually I'm looking for. kudos to you sir.

Great video Steve. I'll make this tool for sure. I've made other tools that you have show cased in the past and has saved me $$$$ for sure. Just on thing, you have to replace that back tire for sure, lol!! Looking forward to the next one..

Hi . You are a very resourceful guy. Thank you for sharing your ideas! If I can add something on my part: I recommend that you always use a 10.5mm spacer, even the large one - yes, you can buy a 10.5mm spacer with a large outer diameter. Secondly, it will be better to use a screw made of a better material (8.8 or 10.9) - you still have the thread in good condition after repeated use. As for the screw head - an Allen head is a better solution in this material class.

This is great! Thank you for all your effort. Saves me many trips to the hardware store and lots of money.

One like is not enough! Thank you! What a simple, well thought out tool!

Love it! Follow up vid, how to make a diy bearing press?

Just to say thank you. I used this method (4:46) to remove a brass insert that was pressed into a cast aluminium fuel petcock from my motorcycle. It made a seemingly impossible task completely painless.

Absolutely brilliant! You are always so full of ideas and practical solutions which you share with your channel.

Mr. Oz you're a tool wizard, thanks for the valuable video's (i've seen 'm all)

Brilliant! As always.

Hi there, thanks for sharing your thoughts. I have always wanted to know how to make it. Your explanation was very good.

Perfect video! I replaced a press fit bottom bracket on my carbon frame a while ago, and it was honestly nerve-racking to do it with a hammer and the leek-style Park tool RT-1 i borrowed from a friend. I won't be doing it again. I will definitely make this tool the next time I need it!

Great job! Thanks for very good video with improving in details to complete the universal excellent tool.

Amazing video! I have a similar diy tool, but your crank arm idea is much better. Thank you for sharing this with us.

I've been a big fan of making stuff out of poly pipe for a long time so I thought I'd give your bearing puller tool and press tool a go. My expectations were pretty low, mostly because my tool making skills are a bit average and various bike shop people warned me about potential disasters when using anything other than the expensive BB tools they were selling. Luckily I have a broken bike I can practise on so there was nothing to lose. Imagine my surprise when both tools worked perfectly first time! Now servicing and replacing the dreaded press fit BB is as easy as the threaded BB on my old mountain bike. A big shout out to your wax/PTFE recipe too. I've done about 200km on my first waxing and just finished rewaxing, not because the chain was noisy, just to see how it would go. I'm a convert. Even if I don't get your amazing chain life, it'll be worth it not to get covered in oil every time I go near the bike (I'm a bit of an oil magnet). Thanks for your content. Great Aussie ingenuity.

Great job, thank you for sharing your creativity!.

Absolutely brilliant!

again brilliant valueable content. thank you so much. greetings from germany

I love how you always find a nice and cheap solution to things

Nice to see the evolution of the tool - excellent video - thank you,

Genius!!! Thanks Oz. 👍

Brilliant! Thank you!

Owning the proper tools for the job is something I don't think twice about because I don't like shops touching my bikes. Anything can happen to your bike when you leave it in the hands of someone else and I won't go in to detail because I don't want to bore people. When you look at what shops rates are they are pretty high these days. And there is that dreaded waiting time. I just feel it is better to invest in the proper tools, then I have them forever. I actually have enough tools to open my own service shop since I've been doing this for more than 30 years now. I love tools. When I die someone is going to get a gold mine.

genius !!, thanks i always watch your diy videos

Another great vid mate! Cheers from the Poms in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. 👍🏻

Very well done! An Excellent way to Create a very useful and versatile tool that I'll use often. Thank you for sharing your creativity.

love your DIY videos

Amazing Steve Thanks for sharing knowledge... 🎆

Thank you!!! I did something similar, it is working perfectly.

Carriage bolt, at least it is called that in the US.

Absolutely genius my Man !!!!!!

most excellent. love how you evolved the tool. I presume this would work as a bearing press as well, for bottom brackets and wheel hubs

Thanks from Argentina!

Absolutely brilliant idea thanks

Brilliant ! Thank you M8

Who is this guy? Must be or was a professor. Excellent detailed instructions. Unusually well made how-to video. Thank you!

Awesome. I have the classic puller with the inline hammer. Noise is so terrific on my carbon enduro bike than I failed to extract my grippy rear bearing. I will try your solution asap

Beautiful !

Always great videos, thanks for these.

The only thing it doesn't do is pull a bearing where the bearing has a spindle going through it (eg washing machine motor). That needs a puller with jaws that grips the outer side / lip of the bearing and the bolt pushes down on the spindle end. But I'll let you off since I don't often cycle on my washing machine. HA!

Great idea, thanks for sharing mate 👊🏼👍🏼

Love it. Thank you

thank you..a gem of a video

Aweson channel. I went to Bunnings and got my pulling tool assembled under $10

you're just simply genius!

Wow nice tool 👌 Just what i need for my giant tcr 😃👍

Thanks for making these DIY videos. Any chance you can share the washer size you used for pulling the BB30 bearings?

too bad i just removed my bearings today using your old videos, thanks oz! another great hack.

Thanks a lot, man. This is an amazing idea.

Thank you!

thx a lot for making this video. exactly what I was looking for for my T47 BB bearing change. Aldo really nice to watch as recreational tho it helps me get and make this simple tool myself

nicely done!

You, sir, are a genius!

Genius mate! 🤘🏽

Great DIY-solution, easy on the bearing

Excellent . Many thanks.

Beautifully done 🏆

The same principle can be used for wheel bearings. Great video thanks

We call those bolts "Carriage bolts" in the US & Canada.

Elegant design well done.

Just made one of these bad boys this morning... supoib (and cheap)! Many thanks for that - now to make the press so I can install a new bottom bracket 🙂

great video.

omg you are a genius, thank you

Great video.

You're a very clever man!

Like it :-) been wondering out to get the bearings out of a wheel hub .Now I do cheers

Absolutely brilliant 🤯 What are the 3 size washers you have at the end of the video there for the two bearing sizes and the cup? 28mm 34mm and? Thank you 🙏🏼

A very well made bearing puller!

Good vid, I think your rear tire has seen better days :)

Great job I’m going to make this tomorrow

Excellent. I’ve been hammering old bearings out which destroys them. Much better to pull them out as some can be cleaned, regreased and reused

@stevenleffanue

2 жыл бұрын

Yes , you can pull them out , clean n regrease...done it many times with this tool.

This is so great. You could have patented the design and sell it, but now it is free on the youtube.

Thank you

Genius!

hello, this isn't a bearing pulller related question but it is about your diy water proofing video. can I ask if I can use denatured alcohol instead of white spirits? getting hold of white spirits in my place is basically impossible, unless you've got the cash😂. hope this gets answered, answer will be highly appreciated.

Everyone likes your DIY. It would be neat if you might collaborate with a CNC miller or 3D printer to reproduce your DIY.

Very useful tools bro

Hi Steve, great guide! Have you thought of the DT Swiss hub caps and bearing removal and press tool?

@stevenleffanue

2 жыл бұрын

Yes , for some hubs like DT Swiss it would be better to use the dedicated tools.

You, Sir Oz, are a saint among cyclists. I already have everything I need to make this. Thank you.

Very nice solution , and cheap too. Next episode a tool to press them in again? Cheap too. Cheers, from Scotland.

A hex bolt with 2 washers and one nut works fine for cups and bearings to press in both sides at once

Very nice tool, i am gona make one too

Hola, de donde sacaste la copa negra?

Brilliant.....

Very nice

Great video. The best place for BB30 bearings is in the bin! (CAAD10 owner). I have installed a ZTTO thread together bottom bracket (from Ali Express) instead.

@@robnoonan9051 so far so good after 6 months of part time use (~1500km). I used lots of marine-grade lithium grease during install. Still spins around smoothly as I check it every time I take chain off (every 350km to rewax chain). I'm using a SRAM gxp crankset with Shimano to gxp (2mm) adapter as I wanted to ensure could I use Shimano or gxp crank in the future

Absolute legend

why did i discover you JUST NOW!?

oz wizard doing it again brilliant - thx 👍😀

next, to add bit for pulling hub set bearing too afterward, to add bit for pressing bearing in 🙂

Awesome tool, all the way down to the crank arm w/bolt cap. I really like new tools but I love DIY ingenuity. Could you swap in a larger poly cap for pulling the cups, instead of the poly slice? Or does it need to be flat?

@stevenleffanue

Needs to be 2 sizes....1 holds cup whilst pulling bearings , larger ring or collar to pull cups. You can use a larger cup to pull cups but it would require dissassembling tool when swapping to bearings , or 2 dedicated tools.
