In this video, I'm using a "blind bearing puller" to remove a broken motorcycle wheel bearing. I had a bad bearing that came apart when I tried to drive it out from the back side with a punch. All that was left was the outer bearing race, and it only has a tiny little lip to get ahold of.
A "blind hole" is a hole that does not go all the way through, or one does not have access from the back side. In this case, the hole is not necessarily blind, but I also couldn't punch out the bearing race from the rear. Thus, there was a need for a blind hole puller that goes in from the front side.
The kit I used was: Orion Motor Tech OMT Blind Hole Collet Bearing Race and Seal Puller Extractor Kit, Slide Hammer Pilot Insert Inner Bearing Removal Tool Set, 16 Pieces

The set above has collets from 1/4 to 2-1/3 inch diameter (6-59 mm).
FYI: The inside diameter of the bearing race that I pulled in the video was 40mm. Other puller sets that I looked at only went up to 30 or 35mm, so make sure you measure your inside diameter before ordering a kit. While the smaller collets are fine if the bearing is intact, if the bearing breaks, the inside diameter of the outer bearing race is quite a bit larger than the inner bearing race.
The wheel in the video was the rear wheel from an Alta Redshift MXR electric dirt bike.
