I have the Harbour Freight bearing puller I bought just for this job and I hope it is up to the task, I also have the additional bearing separator p[late and the stuff is huge and the same items the guy used in the BMW E36 video....now just for some 50+ degree days to get this done.

harbor freight bearing puller is not going to do the job .

i bought the 20 ton press from harbor freight and removed the carrier from the car ( a little extra work but not bad) and pressed them out and in , only a few minutes work with the press and some circle blocks of wood. If the axle wont come out with a few hammer blows A H.F. impact hammer will do it .
