Yikes: Wheel Bearing Puller Kit $386!

[Bill Rowe]

a company named Schley makes 'em for VW/Audi.  i rented it from an
outfit in Michigan that specializes in VW/Audi parts but i can't
remember the name.  I think Blau rents 'em out as well.  From my
experience, it's not as simple or easy as it appears.  it required lots
of muscle to manually press those bearings out/in and you might end up
ripping the rubber for the ball joints.  it worked better on my VW
Scirocco cuz it used a smaller bearing.  The Audi was a bear.  You'd be
better off pulling the whole assembly and taking it to a machine shop
and have them press it out or take to a friend w/ a press.  it's cheaper
than renting it.

I need to replace my front Type 44 wheel bearings, and I really  want to
do it on the car.
