Pit
Posse is an online retailer, with a huge inventory, and also a manufacturer
of trailer accessories, tools, bike stands, and bike accessories. Pit
Posse caters to owners of pit bikes, dirt bikes, street bikes, and
trailers. Among its vast arsenal of tools, Pit Posse produces an extremely
useful tool used to remove wheel bearings. Pit Posse asked if we would
put its Wheel Bearing Remover Set through its paces.
Pit Posse Wheel Bearing Remover Set
The Pit Posse Wheel Bearing Remover Set is used to remove wheel bearings
from most motorcycle and atv wheels or hubs. The set consists of
seven removers, which is the part that goes into the center of the
bearing, and two different size rods, which are used to expand the
head so it holds or grips onto the bearing. All components of the
Wheel Bearing Remover Set come neatly organized in a blow-molded
plastic storage case with simple instructions. The remover sizes
are 9.9mm, 11.9mm, 14.9mm, 16.9mm, 18.9mm, 19.9mm, and 24.9mm. The
dimensions of the removers would be about the inside dimension of
a wheel bearing.
Using the Pit Posse Wheel Bearing Remover Set
Other tools that will help with removal and replacement of wheel bearings
are a seal puller and circlip or snap ring pliers.

There are not many manufacturers of wheel bearing tools on the
market, and among them, the Pit Posse Wheel Bearing Remover Set
is almost half the cost of most. That does not mean it is of
low quality. It is a high-quality tool that is a must-have when
removing wheel bearings. We could not find fault with the Pit
Posse Wheel Bearing Remover Set, not even with its cost. We gave
the Pit Posse Wheel Bearing Remover Set a perfect rating of 5
out of 5. |
