Wheelchair Bearings R8 or 1/2 in Bearing Press
This press handles R8 bearings, the 1/2 inch bore size used in many wheelchair rear hubs and some forks. The seller describes it as a tool for both removing and replacing the bearing. Pressing a bearing in keeps it square to the hub, which a hammer and socket cannot promise. The tool is shaped for the recessed hubs that quick-release axles require. Stock varies, so availability should be confirmed.
