I welded a stand off that bridges the bearing and allows it to be pulled out from the outside with the HF puller kit without removing the hub. Way easier.

Hello Timco,

By any chance do you have the Harbor Freight part number for the bearing puller kit you used?

The carrier is installed on the car and the puller I bought broke while replacing the second rear wheel bearing...

Thank you!

It's actually a CV kit as I remember but it has all the discs and a threaded rod and nuts. I made my own rod and welded double bolt.

I have the case at my shop. Will check later gladly.
