Wheelchair Bearings Outer Race Removal Kit, 608, R6 and R8
When a neglected bearing fails, the balls and inner ring can drop out and leave the outer race jammed in the caster, fork, fork mount or rear hub. A normal puller has nothing to grip at that point. This kit holds three tools, one each for 608, R6 and R8 bearings, made to grab the remaining ring. The seller notes they are cut small, so they need a lot of pressure when tightened.

Wheelchair Bearings Wheelchair Bearing Outer Race Removal Tools 608, R6 & R8 Kit 3-Pack: common questions

Which chairs does the R6 tool relate to?

Why are the tools hard to tighten?
Bearing inner diameters vary between makers, so the tools are cut small and need strong pressure to expand and grip.
