So 20 year old e30 with somewhere around 450k miles never has its rear wheel bearings replaced as far as I know. Driver's side is making noise, passenger side has play.
I thought just the drivers side was bad, so I get to work on it tonight (i work at a shop with a lift and good tools). Didnt even get the axle out. It seems to be seized on the hub. Used an air hammer, used a big hammer, used a bigger hammer, didnt budge it. Figured i'd try and get the hub off, used a very large slide hammer. Didnt even flinch.
About a year ago I had to put an axle in the pass. side, and it took a 4 foot tall hammer and a lot of nerve. I got it out, but there was no way that hub was coming off either.
Should I take the trailing arms off and send them to a machine shop to get pressed? I dont know if I have any other options.
