Looking for best price on RWB tool..

[DaN]

Need to tool to replace my rear wheel bearings.
I saw the special tool for sale on some website for $230, now I can't find it.
Any one seen it, or something cheaper?

cornwell has a pretty nice air hammer with locking bit retainer... comes with 4 bits... and it should do the trick for about $130... it can be used for almost anything

Do you have a pic of it?
I can't seem to access the catalog on the site.
Is this going to help me remove the hub, bearing, and install it?
The tool would probably be more ideal.

is it the same tool for removing front wheel drive bearings?

no what you need is an improvised press type tool for the rear. Something with a washer set to pull the outer race out.

Pelican Parts sells one I believe. I went up and borrowed a FWD bearing puller from Autozone, its the same thing.

Yea, pelican has it for $269, but saw it someplace cheaper. Someone needs to make a cheaper version, lol. I think I may.

For the rear ones if you remove the control arm you can use a regular press. Thats what I did. Only took me 2-3 hours to do my rear one. I guess that is a while, but sure beats $200+.

Ok, will the e34 RWB be the same?
