danutt 4 Report post Posted March 20, 2013 wondering if someone would be so kind as to assist in borrowing me a tool or two neccessary to replace my rear wheel bearing on my e30 im told i need some kinda puller and perhaps a pusher i have the bearing and have isolated the wur wur sound to the bearing not being good i have all the other tools and the charge at a garage is too steep considering it taks approx an hour to get to the point where youd use the puller and another 1 hour reassemble anyone got what i need or perhaps some experience with doing the rear bearings? cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ahmedsinc 414 Report post Posted March 21, 2013 Easier & better just to ask Glenn to do it. Wheel bearings are a poo job at the best of times, even worse if ya get them wrong & have to start again from scratch. $250 is good considering all the skin & blood you get to keep Just my 2c Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allanw 1071 Report post Posted March 21, 2013 I did Dads one, with a home made slide hammer. Big threaded rod some big nuts and big washers. I also had the stuff sitting around to do it, and a hoist which makes it easy - on axle stands (NOT a jack - you'll lose a limb!) would be a pain in the arse. TBH, I'd pay $250, if I had to do it again. Took fricken AGES with the slide hammer and mashed a couple of fingers too. If you like to do it your self (I do too) you could buy the tool with the money you would spend on labour - you do end up with a tool you'll probably NEVER use again though Like my E39 rear ball joint tool Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
