Has anybody tried this before from Autozone (or a place equivalent to it)? i'm going to go today and see if they have what I need in order to change this rear wheel bearing myself.

Yeah, i'll report back this afternoon to see if they have it. They claim it's a $40 charge to rent, for as long as you want, and you get the complete charge back to your account, tax and all. So if you take care of it, it's like you can have it for free...Recent Rebranding!!

I went to autozone and the tool they had there was balls. It wasn't even meant for sealed bearings. it was meant for bearings in a hub type wheel and it was chinsey. Sorry, but buying the BMW tool is definitely the main option hereRecent Rebranding!!

If your not 70 with a bad back get a large diameter pipe that is the same circumference as the bearing. Use that along with at Minimum a 10 lbs hammer and hammer that bearing out from the back, you'll get a work out so I suggest eat a lot of carbs. Only special tool I used was a puller to get the hub off.

Left out the part where I didn't hammer back the hub into place. I just reversed the puller I used to remove it the hub. Installation is opposite of removal business. It gently push the hub back into place and didn't need to waste any money on a special tool of sorts. If you have the money buy the "special tools" but you can always fab something up to work.Last edited by bmmf; 04-20-2007, 04:53 PM.

http://www.bavauto.com/shop.asp Part # : B90-BMW Is this the tool in question? 250 seems worth it if you have multiple cars. I used a slide hammer on the first bearing and it popped right now no sweat then the second bearing was stuck beyond belief but managed to bang it out, this probably would have saved a bloody knuckle.Last edited by bmmf; 04-23-2007, 10:39 AM.
