I need a bearing puller to pull my rear wheel bearing out.

Which one should I get?

A slide hammer bearing puller ideally, although you could probably tap it out from the other side as a last resort. I take it you mean a rear wheel bearing?

Hi

Replaced wheel bearings loads of times and never used a bearing puller on them. It is a pretty easy job to do.

All the best

No you do not NEED a bearing puller.

No.

You would need a 'blind bearing puller' really.
However even then, it's easier to do it with a drift from the other side - when there's a bit of a gap, the blind bearing puller can make it a little less hassle, but I tend to still hit it from the other side, rather than use the slide hammer.

This is an example, I got a similar one (with more adapters) for £70 or so I think - second hand snap on blue line (or whatever it's called).

I have tried to drift it from the other side.
But had no luck Neutral
The motorbike its doubt and has just done 11k miles, I doubt the bearing has been changed.
Sized?

Hi

Why can't you knock them out from the other side? You normally need to push the bearing spacer across to one side to get a lip to use to drift the bearings out

All the best

Use a heat gun or a blow torch to heat the hub around the bearing so it comes out easier. Also use a good sturdy drift - I used a length of metal rod. Also check there isn't a circlip or something holding it it. Give it a good clean with some WD40 if there's muck around it.

Although it's amazing how much easier it is if you use a good sturdy drift as a drift on account of them being tool steel and therefore having a hard, flat face.
