                  Dude!! That was a bitch to install!! I googled and I googled and I googled how to do this, And I didn't find that many threads about to do it. "I found a couple that came in handy" But if you do not have the proper tools to do it and the wheel bearing Splits, It's 100 times harder Without the proper tools.. I'll see if I can find the link and upload some pictures of the tools and stuff that I used If you're interested.. But with that said, it's well worth it!! my car was making all kinds of funky noise and stuff..

                        So here is some info and stuff that helped me



                        and
                        This is not an e30.. but same concept, i used basically the same tools here! :)






                        and this.. hope you understand the concept here, you use the pipe floor flange on the back of the wheel bearing.. good tool!!
