                I just pulled my wheel bearings last night. In addition to that kit that was already linked I also picked up one of these:

                Makes getting the hub off really easy. Although you could also go to town on it with a hammer, dealers choice.

                  I just used a 36mm socket, piece of wood, Hardwood Flooring mallet, and a bit of elbow grease. I heated up the trailing arm a bit where the wheel bearing goes added just a little bit of sparkplug anti seize compound on the wheel bearing. a couple taps and it was in.

                    Another thing to make it a little easier.. Stick the bearing in the freezer for 30 min then press it in.

                          no luck with wheel bearing. i end up with something like this. i was thinking about getting a new arm with bearing from PNP.

                            Those fuckers can be real cocksuckers. I ended up getting a tool made at a machine shop for about $50 that pushes on the outer race. It uses 3/4" ready rod some nuts, some machined plates and a hollow spacer to draw the bearing into. My bearing was so cockstuck in there I was leaning my full weight on the wrench to turn those nuts. You should have heard the bang when it finally broke loose.
