Lauren Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Hey we're on the east side can I have a wheel bearing pressed in? Have a hub off car. Does Napa or a place like that do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-O Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 I think Napa can if not car quest can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlr8tn Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 seems like the napa on east main used to but it's been many years since I've been up that way. Maybe give them a call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Is it a bearing seated in the control arm, with a driveshaft that goes through it? Harbor Freight makes a "Front Wheel Bearing" tool kit that works like a charm to get the old bearing and race out and reinstall a new one in quick order.

Lauren Posted May 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 It's seated in the hub. Need to be pressed in and pressed out. Evidently they are a real bitch. Pulled hub from car. I would rather just drop hub and new bearing off someplace and pick it up when it's finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most dealerships will but then your paying a dealer premium as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 With the time it takes to keep this thread going, you could've done this bearing job in less than an hour. For what BMW owners say is a horrid job, I was amazed at how quickly the rear bearings came out and new ones went in. http://www.harborfreight.com/fwd-front-wheel-bearing-adapters-66829.html I wouldn't care, except I know you'll flip this wagon and try to make money off of another VAG car - might as well spend $100 on the tool that will help facilitate wheel bearing replacement for yourself at home, anytime. Sorry, Austin - not trying to keep you from new business but if we're going to keep seeing this thread pop up I might as well opine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Posted May 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Been outta town and haven't had a chance to work on the car. Something I plan to take care of once I'm home and able to. Also I won't be flipping this one pearl white avant with black leather interior is a unicorn. I'll be holding onto this one for quite some time.
