Rear Wheel Bearing Puller For Rent?, Not really sure if this should be here or in the FS/WTB?? Options

[amphiduck]

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.
