DIY wheel bearing tip - don't need the $300+ tool
I just replaced my rear bearings with a $69 bearing kit from Amazon. It removed the old bearing, installed the new bearing, and installed the wheel hub. Without removing the carrier from the car.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FLVOAZI/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Ball joint removal rented from Autozone. How did I remove the wheel hub from the bearing? Grabbed some 14mm 1.5 pitch bolts from a local hardware store and put some spacers between the hub and carrier and pushed it out using the lug bolt threads. Didn't mess up the threads. Even if I had it would have been cheaper just to find a used hub. One bearing came out whole and the other split on the hub - did a little cutting with a 1.5" blade on a drill and it slid right off. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1533783320.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1533783377.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1533783388.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1533783396.jpg |
I used the same kit for mine. I used a slide hammer puller to take the hub out of the bearing.
