WHEELS Mfg R6 Bearing Extractor

This tool is specifically designed for R6 bearings, which have an inside diameter of 9.5mm. Before purchasing, verify that your hub or frame component uses an R6 bearing size, as this tool will not fit other bearing dimensions.

The extractor includes the collet assembly, but you will need to provide a few standard shop tools to complete the job. Specifically, you will need an 8mm wrench, a 10mm wrench, a punch, and a hammer to operate the extractor effectively.

No, the tool is designed to prevent damage. Its precision collet expands to grip only the inner race of the bearing, ensuring that force is applied directly to the bearing itself rather than the surrounding hub shell or frame material.

Yes, it is straightforward to use. As long as you have the correct bearing size and the necessary hand tools, the process is logical and controlled, making it a great option for home mechanics looking to perform their own maintenance.

Using a dedicated extractor like this one ensures a secure, centered grip on the bearing's inner race. Improvised tools often slip or apply uneven pressure, which can easily damage the bearing seat or the hub shell, leading to costly repairs.
