Hello,

I had a bad lower outer bearing on a small nut RGB that i could not get off. I did a bunch of research here, and saw a bunch of good looking bearing pullers out there that I can't afford. I have made the Muir style puller before with mixed results. I took a 1/4" allen head bolt and went crazy with the bench grinder. It's not pretty, but it worked. I thought i'd share just in case someone else finds themselves in the same bind!!

I tried to make one, it bent and after 3 days of trying, gave up and luckily found someone within an hour's drive who had a real one. I hate swing axels.
