Wheelchair Bearings R8 or 1/2 in Blind Bearing Puller
This puller removes R8 bearings, the 1/2 inch bore size used in many wheelchair rear wheel hubs and some front forks. It is sized for one bearing only, which keeps the cost below a full tool kit. The seller explains that rear wheelchair hubs are recessed for quick-release axles, so car and bicycle pullers often cannot reach or grip the bearing. This tool is shaped for that recess.

Wheelchair Bearings R8 or 1/2" Wheelchair Blind Bearing Puller/Extractor: common questions
Which bearings does this puller remove?
R8 bearings, which have a 1/2 inch bore. Other sizes such as 608 or R6 need their own puller.
Can it also press the new bearing in?
No. It is a removal tool. The same seller offers a separate R8 bearing press and combined kits.
Why not use a bicycle bearing puller?
According to the seller, bicycle pullers are mostly metric and car pullers cannot grip the small ring inside a recessed wheelchair hub.
