squeeb gave him a proper (and well deserved) verbal assault after he (syadasti) made some very inappropriate comments about his daughter in the p&wn forum and he hasn't been back since. i can't remember which thread, but last i was aware it's still there. it included the ever classic "you're not wrong, you're just an asshole"

I bought a generic one from ebay several years ago which is the same as most of the "bike" ones but without the bike tax.

edit: like this:

I was hoping someone would have come up with something that doesn't involve the word "hammer". Just seems like there's gotta be a better way than using impact.

The hammer action is what's pulling the bearing out of it's seat, you're not using it to bang anything against the object, but against the end of the bearing puller.

I understand. I've used that style for years. There is much more risk of damaging the frame when using impact. If the bearing gets out of alignment (one side comes out faster than the other) you can deform the seat that the bearing fits into. After that the new bearings will be slightly loose and you'll end up with unfixable creaking and excessive bearing wear.
