Driving home I felt what I think is a wheel bearing going out on my passenger front, instead of letting the wheel fall off like I did with my last car i decided to get towed home. I have the wheel off and it looks pretty straight forward. So here is where I pick your brains. How do you get a really stuck bearing dust cover off, and can I pick up a set of vw bearings quickly instead of ordering a 914 set. Is there a difference? Its up on jack stands now and Im driving the gas hog till its fixed so the sooner the better.
Thanks |

Holy cow.... that's not a pretty sight.
A puller should do ya' if you cant "shake" it lose. sometimes the bearings will wear a groove into the spindle and then they become the cause of keeping it from releasing from the spindle. have you tried the two-handed shake shake shake method? ;-) I'm sure you have... but I have to ask anyways. Good luck. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Roger |
