A punch is the simple way to remove a bearing: reach through the hub from the far side and tap the bearing out. This one is 5/16 inch in diameter and made from brass and aluminium, metals softer than a steel screwdriver, so slips are less likely to gouge the hub. The seller lists it for 8 mm, R6 and R8 bearings in rear hubs, front forks and caster wheels.
Suits wheelchair users and technicians who want a low-cost way to knock out worn bearings. It needs a hammer and a firm support under the wheel, and it is for removal only.
