OK people...I know someone has had this issue.
I installed a Repair Right Rear wheel bearing in order to get the car home from SCCA solo nationals...I now have a new axle, new bearing and wheel seal ready to go in the car but I cant get the old one out. Slide hammer + bearing puller = broken bearing puller at the moment. Other than taking apart the other side and removing the diff in order to run a big freakin piece of pipe in and beating it out the other side...any suggestions??? I might try to heat up the axle tube with a torch to loosen things up....but then i got to get another bearing puller. Any ideas? |

A better tool should work - this works for me: http://www.thetoolwarehouse.net/shop/OTC-7947.html
I use the internal 3jaw puller attachment on the slide hammer (IMG:http://www.thetoolwarehouse.net/shop/media/OTC-7947.jpg) These should work even better, I don't have yet.

Oh, well then I'll probably not buy them. Were they OTC? Most of the OTC stuff is copied by a low end Chinese brand. The internal 3jaw has been working fine for me. |
