I used these tools to replace the 6 pairs of bearings in my mountain bike suspension.  You can buy the specialised tools to do this but I wanted to see if it was possible using my own 3D printed tools.  

The rear suspension triangle started to have a lot of 'play' in it, so it was time to replace the bearings. 

If you attempt this yourself, your bike will probably have different size bearings and frame shape so you will have to customise the tools which is pretty easy. The tools are all simple cylinder shapes and sized 0.5mm smaller than the bearings for clearance where required.
When ordering new bearings, best check the codes on the existing bearing and double check the size.

Print settings I used:

  • 0.2mm layer height
  • 80% infill
  • Material - PLA
  • 6 vertical layers for walls
  • 6 layers for top and bottom shells
