wheel bearing tools
« on: 18 February 2013, 12:59:45 »
Ahem,,not strictly for the Omega but I am looking to borrow/buy a kit to remove/change internal wheel bearings. Does anyone have any reccomedations for a decent kit as there seem to be numerous options and I haven't used them before.

Any tips welcome!

Indeed, hammer, cold chisel, sometimes an angle grinder, very rarely a puller

If you have a mig welder handy, run a bead on the bearing case and it will probably shatter and fall apart  :-X ;)

It's to do an E36 3 series, Looked at a few videos and they use all kind of slide hammers, fancy gadgets etc can it be done with hammers and chisels?

Such as this

You must have watched it then ::)

I must admit, doing a rear on someone else's car without removing the trailing arm was tough :-X ::)

Mr Sassenachs home made rear bearing extraction tools, and his method of use, are wonders to behold ....  but they get the job done PDQ ... for which I will be eternally grateful ..   :y :y

Whether I'd have the guts to do it his way ... that's another story !!!   :-X :-X :-X :-X
