Front casters collect hair, grit and water, so their bearings are usually the first to need replacing. This puller removes 608 bearings, which have an 8 mm bore, from caster wheels. It is a single-size tool, so it costs less than a multi-size kit. The seller lists Frog Legs casters, Rollerblade style casters and poly or pneumatic casters as examples of wheels that use this bearing.
Suits active wheelchair users who change their own caster bearings, and repair shops that handle many caster wheels. Check that your casters use 608 bearings with an 8 mm axle before ordering, as some use R6 instead.
