Standard Bearing Press Tool
by
Amphetamine
SKU: BP702
Description
Durability paired with functionality makes the Amphetamine Bearing Press a can't-miss tool. It eliminates the struggle of installing and removing bearings by using leverage, without damaging them. Removing bearings without proper tools can and will degrade their integrity.
The press comes assembled with an 8mm axle for standard 608 bearings, which are used in virtually every skateboard, longboard, and inline wheel, plus an extra 7mm axle for pressing size 627 quad wheel bearings. It's made from aluminum, and it includes the hardware to table mount it if you want. Most of the time, it doesn't need to be mounted and can be used by hand with minimal pressure.
Who the Bearing Press Is For
- Skaters who swap wheels or bearings often
- Anyone who wants to protect their bearings during install and removal
- Longboard, inline, and quad skaters
- Shops and skaters who maintain multiple setups
Features
- Presses and pulls 608 (8mm) bearings
- Uses leverage, not force
- Comes assembled with an 8mm axle
- Extra 7mm axle for pressing 627 quad bearings
- Aluminum construction
- Table mount hardware included
Benefits
- Installs and removes bearings without damaging them
- Protects bearing integrity
- Minimal effort by hand
- Works with virtually all skateboard wheels

- If you table mount the press, make sure all 6 bolts are firmly installed to prevent unnecessary torque on the base.
