Re: 1995 90 rear bearings
| dave AKA vwdoc1 | 19 Jun 2008 02:20 |
In a pinch I have used a heat gun to help warm things up a bit. It has
worked for me a couple of times.
This is when I did not want to use the blue wrench. I just have to refill
my tanks. ;-)
Are the rear bearings that hard to do? I have done a rear wheel bearing in
a 1990 Audi V8 (IIRC) and don't remember it being that bad.
Did you use some Rust Penetrant?

Broke down and bought a 20ton. 12ton broken. 20ton made that bearing squeal,
then bang, and it popped out.
Really didn't want to torch it.

What is the trick to removing the rear wheel bearings? 12ton press does not
begin to press it out.
Was able to press the hub out. Just not the bearing.
Torch to me, is the last resort.
