    Rear Wheel Bearings

    Hello R3V.

    Still in my process of fixing all the necessaries before modding. My search was less than helpful, so I decided to post.

    Where can I find a good DIY step by step on replacing one of the rear wheel bearings, I believe I know how to do it.... But I would rather get some more information before starting, since I drive my E30 quite frequently.

    Any tips and advice before doing this would be cool too.

              toss your bearings in the freezer about an hour before you start the job.

              you can thank me later.

                I had to make my own puller, I just remember it being a pain.
