CH-0002 Half Axle Puller

Note: With consideration to the maintenance and durability of the front wheel hub bearing, the hub and the bearing are designed as a whole, so that no maintenance and no extra lubricating grease is needed by the bearing. When there is any problem with the bearing, replace the wheel hub and the bearing simultaneously, and do not remove and repair the bearing alone.
