Rear Wheel Bearings!!

[E30-323ti]

How the F%*k do you get the inner bearing race off the drive flange!!!

There is about a 1mm lip around the edge but my puller won't hold it, How else can I get it off!!

TIA

If by drive flange you mean HUB, you can take a cold chisel and tap it apart to make a gap and then get a puller on it. HTH

A bearing separator should get it off, you might be able to borrow one from Autozone. Here is a writeup that shows removing the inner race from the hub: http://teamdfl.com/bmw/e30/rear_whee...ngs/Page2.html

You could also try cutting part way through with a Dremel then smacking it to try and crack it off.
