Hey all,
My '74 914 is in dyer need of new rear wheel bearings and i need the extractor tool to pull them out. Really don't feel like shelling out the $250 to buy one or taking off the entire trailing arm to have a shop press them out. Anyone willing to rent one to me? Not sure what the going rental is on these things, but I'm in TN and would pay for shipping both ways. Thanks Trevor |

you don't rent a puller, you need a BFH preferably a 3 lb. sledge, some steel pipe or solid bar stock if got it, a little PB blaster and hammer away. The bird board listed above desribes in detail the R&R process. My first rear bearing removal was the improvised use of a large monkey wrench as a driving pin and a regular 16oz hammer and lots of pounding. I learned then, 24 years ago, get the right tool for the job. so either fabricate or buy what's listed above in the bird article or see what you have in your shop that you can improvise. |

QUOTE(underthetire @ Mar 18 2010, 01:32 AM)  Oooh - cool link... I need to pull an axle on the Titanic and I've been looking at hub pullers (I already have a slide hammer but most of the little screw-on bits have migrated through the years...). But that's got the other useful bits and accessories, a cute box to put it all in, _and_ the hub puller, for about what I've been ready to pay for the puller alone. I have no doubt those are better hub pullers - but I don't need one very often (so far this lifetime - once). |

Thats just it, HF is great for those of us that do something once a year, the living wrenches probably want a little better. |

Where are you at? I'm in Parsons, TN. I have a rear bearing puller that doesn't require removing the trailing arm.

Eric Shea has a video on his PMB performance site about how to get teh race off the stub.
if you heat teh trailing arm around teh bearing it comes out like butter. |

This is certainly not what I expected down here. Group: Members Posts: 849 Joined: 21-May 09 From: Bodymore Murderland Member No.: 10,389 Region Association: MidAtlantic Region |
My favorite method for race removal is to use a dremel, and slice it going | looking down at hte race almost all the way through, then using a flathead scrwedriver in the gap twisted to break it free and slide it off.
No heat applied, no issues and super quick. |
