How to use Bearing Press V2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dufOpEohf4&t=178s
Both versions come with a SKF Explorer 608-2RSL bearing.
The V2 is the latest iteration with orange plastic and reinforced design.
A specialized bearing removal tool for grinders that customers found essential for maintenance and bearing swaps. Most shoppers praised it as "piece of cake to use" and "well made," noting it enables cleaning and customization. The safety cover protects fingers from sharp teeth. However, one customer reported it "broke with first use," suggesting potential durability concerns.
- Piece of cake to use, easy enough to remove/fit bearings
- So quick and simple, worth the money
- Required purchase for washing without damaging
Absolute rubbish design, broke with first use ..
If you don't have the tools to nicely pop out the bearings without damaging your baby, or are unsure, get this while you can! You need to wash the Aroma sometimes. And you need to remove the bearings to do so.
So, I’m not the most technical, and I have a habit of breaking things, but this was so quick and simple. Personalise your Old Mate with a fancy new bearing, or just for deep cleaning, it’s worth the money.
You need either this or the V2 (they work the same, V2 is just a redesign so if you can't find it, this will do just as well) to remove your bearing in order to either soak your top teeth in iso or to test other bearings for longer spinning times (the bearing that comes with the grinder is not the fastest but it'll last a lifetime...)
Does it’s job well, Easy enough to remove/fit bearings if cleaning your grinder or if (like me) you just want to swap out the stock skf bearings for some that spin faster,
I’m now using some £4 ‘ceramic hybrids’ in my Aroma 3
or you can try ‘full ceramic’
(which will in effect stop the top part from being magnetic, bare in mind!)
Anyhow!.. This puller is fully re-usable to keep in a draw to use now & then. Ben has recently made a V2 version, but tbf you’ll really not struggle with this one (It’s shaped like the ‘grippy boys’ optional grinder grips) & its price reduced to reflect this is the ‘V1’.
Both versions also have a safety cover as part of the assembly, which helps keep your fingers away from the sharp grinder teeth while fitting or removing too, which some people will find useful.
Works exactly as it should 👍🏻
Works as you expect.
