O/T - Mountain Bike frame bearing removal tool
Not car related, but does anyone have an idea where I could get a bearing removal/install tool like this:
The company that sold them in the UK (Superstar components) aren't stocking them anymore and I can't find anywhere else.

I'd look on eBay and speak to a local bike shop. I'd imagine the tool may not be cheap for the number of uses it'll get, but I do
like to buy a tool myself and not pay other people to do the work for me.

They were only around £18 each - which isn't too bad.
Annoyingly they still have a couple but not for the bearing sizes I have.
Nice to have a proper tool instead of relying on an oversized socket and bolt/washer/nut type affair to pull the bearings.

That's where I'd looked and they don't have the size and aren't getting any more.

The only difficult bit appears to be 16001-1 and I'm sure someone could knock that, the bearing pusher plate and a couple of the bearing press
bits (2/3) up on a lathe/mill for you for not a lot of $$...

Good shout.
There's a guy at work with a lathe - will get some sketches & dimensions and ask him.

You could try Ison Distribution (ID). Thats where I used to get all my special tools when I was doing race mechanic work.

Still worth speaking to a local bike shop as well. I had to use one to refit a Shimano cartridge bottom bracket when I had my MTB frame powder costed
in white. My parts and quite annoyingly I have the BB tool as well, but just couldn't get it to go back in properly. My local Hargroves fitted
it for £20 inc. VAT, while I waited.
