pounding out the rear wheel bearing
 

:mad: :mad: im having a lil trouble.....i live been using a hammer n chilsel to knock out the bearings from behind since thats how the rear hub came out and the thing is not budging....what should i do to get it out?

The BMW special tool designed for the purpose works excellent.

i kno that jordan....but is there ne other alternatives?

Repeated impacts won't do shit. You need slow consistant pulling force to remove it.

something like a bearing puller right?

Eh.... see if you can 'borrow' it at canadian tire... they still have that loan a tool program i believe!!!

Otherwise... just get it at princess auto.

when u have a dad that can cook up a tool with like 15 bucks and a trip to home depot repeated impacts or beating the shit outta that bearing does more than u need...the bearing flew out like 2 feet after i was done with that bitch:D :mad:

Great. How many scores did you make in the wheel bearing bore?

ummm lol too much to count but its old and shitty so it derseves it

Have fun installing the new ones.

also, as a warning. Any impacts on the wheel bearing will cause immediate to soon failure.

You must use a puller/presser tool like the OE tool to install.

Also put the bearing in the freezer overnight (still in its plastic baggy) and pull it out when you are ready to press it in. If its cold enough, and you are quick you can (seriously) just about DROP it in.

no wonder it went in already wit no problems...luckky i left it outside in my car over night and today morning & afternoon....
