Made an on vehicle bearing puller for the Genius (I'm sure it works on others)

For any one with hydraulic brakes on their RC, you know if you loose a bearing the hub is possibly coming off to change the bad bearings out. Thus you have to re bleed the brakes, and at the track that can be a pain. Especially with Genius' upside down bleeders in the front.... Yes it is correctly built.

So I made a tool to remove the bearings while on the car, thus no need to bleed the brakes. The whole process took all of 10 minutes per side.

The tool is a Motion Pro 10mm blind bearing puller, a 1/2BSM bolt and nut, 25mm ID tubing, and some plastic bushings. One of the bushings I pressed into the tube and then Dremeled it to the size of the bearing puller. The allows the tube to be used as a handle, and the puller to not spin while trying to thread the bolt into it. Sure I could use a slide hammer.... but that is big to bring to the track, and also if that bearing is stuck you might need some one to hold the car.
