Ok, took it into my buddy's shop and they got the axle out in about 3minutes. Using a ball peen hammer and mini sledge. Not sure where I went wrong but its all done now, go figure. The ride is much better now. No more damn rotational noise driving me crazy."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

Day 2 of parking lot wheel bearing job:
Literally the most time consuming parts of this job have been driving to get tools and getting stuck on literally the dumbest bullshit.

I bought that tool to do my rear wheel bearing on the 2001 suby 2.5rs a while back. Ended up doing all 4 and stripping the bolt that came with it (harbor freight)
I suggest finding a better bolt from home depo or w/e if you're going to do a few bearings and put some antiseize, grease or oil on the bolt to make it last longer and save you time in the long run (if it strips on your 3rd bearing like mine did).
Bought to start my E30's rear bearings, these don't seem any worse, maybe just more rust but every thing i've taken off of an E30 usually came off with ease compared to my suby.

I was able to pull my axles out by hand
A few notes as I did this about a month ago:
-The bearing puller from harbor freight saved the day.
-The bearing race stuck to the hub for me. I was able to get a puller in there and get it free. A dremel would have been next if that didn't work.
-The slip ring was alot heavier than I expected. It bent my tiny clamps and had to buy a heavy duty one.
-Highly recommended that you do the axles at the same time if it's time to change them.1989 325i S50 swapped
