Using a dependable split-collet design, the tool grips the internal diameter of the bearing, allowing it to be driven cleanly out of the hub. This makes it particularly useful where there is little or no exposed bearing edge available for a conventional drift or punch.
Covering 10mm, 12mm, 15mm, 17mm, 20mm and 25mm internal diameters, the set accommodates many of the common metric wheel bearing sizes found across motocross, enduro, road motorcycles, ATVs and other powersports applications.
This selection covers a broad range of metric motorcycle wheel bearing applications without requiring several individual removal tools.
The key to the 08-0269 is its split-collet design.
The correctly sized collet is inserted through the internal diameter of the bearing. The appropriate driver is then seated into the collet, expanding it so that it grips securely behind the bearing.
Once correctly seated, controlled strikes to the driver allow the bearing to be pushed out through the hub.
This design is particularly useful when the bearing installation leaves little room to position a traditional drift behind the bearing.
The smaller collets can also prove useful when dealing with certain difficult wheel spacer arrangements.
Where a wheel spacer is flush with the internal axle guide and there is no suitable edge for a conventional drift, an appropriately sized split collet may provide a much cleaner method of removal.
This can reduce the temptation to use improvised tools that could potentially damage the spacer or wheel hub.
The components are heat-treated for strength, durability and long service life, making the set suitable for repeated workshop use.
For professional mechanics and riders who regularly service wheel bearings, investing in the correct removal tool can make bearing replacement considerably quicker and reduce the risk of unnecessary hub damage.
Wheel bearings operate in a demanding environment and can eventually deteriorate through:
Common signs of worn wheel bearings can include rough or notchy rotation, unwanted wheel movement or play, and deterioration in the feel and stability of the motorcycle.
The Motion Pro set allows worn bearings to be removed ready for replacement.
Select the split collet that correctly matches the bearing's internal diameter.
Insert the collet into the bearing and select the appropriate large or small driver.
Seat the driver securely into the split collet against a solid, non-flexing work surface.
Once the collet has firmly captured the bearing, support the wheel so there is sufficient clearance underneath for the bearing and driver to exit.
Use controlled, accurately placed hammer strikes to drive the bearing from the hub.
Repeat the process for the bearing on the opposite side where required.
Always follow the Motion Pro instructions supplied with the tool and wear appropriate eye and hand protection.
Ideal for:
Removing wheel bearings with improvised punches, screwdrivers or unsuitable tools can make the job unnecessarily difficult and increase the possibility of damaging the wheel hub.
The Motion Pro split-collet system provides a controlled method of gripping the bearing internally before driving it from the hub.
For riders restoring older motorcycles, this can be especially useful where corrosion or years of contamination have made the original bearings difficult to remove.
The 08-0269 is designed for bearing removal. Once the old bearings have been removed and the hub cleaned and inspected, new bearings should be installed using an appropriate bearing installation tool and the motorcycle manufacturer's specified procedure.
