Rent/Buy Bearing Puller
 
I am in Northern VA. I would like to see if anyone here has purchased a wheel bearing puller and would be willing to rent it out, or sell it used for a reasonable fee.

Have you considered Harbon Freight? I've heard they have one that will work and is like $80. The one that Pelican Parts sells for about $280 works perfectly though. That's the one that I purchased earlier this year and it made the job really just so easy. I saw it more as an investment though as I'll certainly have more bearings to do (I just did the rears) and I've got a 911 and 914 that will need bearing replacement sooner or later.... Just food for thought.

I can't imagine doing the work without it.
I was disappointed in the somewhat loose instructions on the Bentley.

Bought the one from Harbor Frieght for 80
 
Gonna use it tomorrow to replace the front bearings. Looks pretty straight forward. I will post once completed.

BTW, plan to look at the front motor mount too...

the front mount turns out not too be too difficult, particularly if you follow a good write up from someone else. Boy do those coolant hoses get in the way though.
