Alan a whyle back I purchased some vintage tools from Penn, one of the tool is a bearing puller, I wasn't sure at first but when I tried it on a bearing it worked perfectly. the tool is a stainless steel rod about 3/16" thick and 8" in lenght, bent as an " L " shape at the center, the tip has been machined and it looks just like a nail about 1/2" in lenght, the other side is 1/8" smaller in diameter...still looks like a nail head. the smaller side is worn a bit but still works. As I mentioned, this tool works great and I was wondering if you could get one of your machinist to manufacture some for everybody else here, I would also take one more. To get and idea, I have it showing on the tenth picture from the top on the 16/0 Penn Tutorial. If interested, I could send the part to you so it can be copied. Let me know, thanks! Sal
I can start making these Alto.. Do you guys want some?
I can't answer for averybody else but I would definitely go for one.
To all members.
I have this tool and pulling bearings is a breeze, think about it so we can get ReelSpeed to make us some. I'm not in it for the money, nor did I have a conversation with ReelSpeed about it, I simply want to help out. Take care, Sal
I will make a couple up and post the pictures here. Let me see what it takes to make them and I will put a price on them.
Aaron
Aaron, do you need me to send you the part? Sal
That would probably make life a little easier.. Go ahead and mail it to me and I will duplicate it.
Aaron
Reel Speed,
I'm in for one of them custom pullers!
Dom
I'll take one. Any pictures? -g
Aaron, I mailed the part out today, you should be getting it within a couple of days. Thanks! Sal

Sorry Gary I can't take a picture, the part is on it's way to ReelSpeed. I'm sure that Aaron will post a picture when he is done making a few and also give us an idea of how much it would cost us. Check under the Penn Tutorial on a 16/0 it's the tenth picture from the top, you shoul be able to get an idea.
Sure will. Shouldn't take long to at least make the first prototype. Then I will post a picture and pricing. Thanks for sending it out Sal!
Is this it?

Yes, you have to teach me how you do that. I tried to post that picture but no luck, thanks Bryan!
open open open ;D-
Aaron, whats the good word? -g
Sal, got the tool today. Thanks! Will try and get some prototypes and pricing tomorrow or Saturday. I will probably offer a set of the tools in each common size of inch & metric. Also, instead of a straight spot after the button top, I will make a taper so it presses into the bearing inside diameter and makes a quick pull out.
Aaron
Very good! Thanks Aaron!
Looking forward to see what ya come up with!
Dom
Here you go guys!

A strong magnet has worked well in the past for me to remove bearings for most applications.

I would be careful about magnetizing a bearing in any application, It may cause them to attract and hold impossible to remove metal particles. - Jimmer
