Use a blind bearing puller tool. Motion Pro tools sells an entire kit including the slide hammer and a bunch of different size collets for different bearing I.D.'s. The kit has every size you need for a Buell XB. |

http://www.motionpro.com/motorcycle/tools/bearing_ remover_sets/ Just wonder if this is the one and will it also do the wheel bearings? Or is there a need for a tool to remve the wheel bearings at all? |

Motion Pro's web site lists it at $249.99. If you have a local Drag Specialties/Parts Unlimited distributer that you are friendly with you can probably get it for a little less. That's where I got mine from. Here is a pic of the kit.

Yes it pulls wheel bearings too. 30mm for the rear and 25mm for the front. |

I'm not familiar with the specifics of the situation there, are any of these potential candidates for doing the work? http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem. taf?Itemnumber=95987 http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem. taf?Itemnumber=5469 http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem. taf?Itemnumber=4876 For occasional use, some of the cheap imported tools make sense. And I never feel bad about grinding on them or whatever to make them work like I do when I grind on expensive tools. Jack |

Pit Posse sells the same kit for less than half that. Both kits are manufactured in Taiwan and are identical. http://www.pitposse.com/blbeandbure.html |
