wheel bearing R&R

[Ameer Antar]

No, there's no way to do this w/o a press w/o damaging anything. I just took it to a local shop where I knew the owner well. It took about 10 mins to pull them out and another 10 to put them back in. They ended up using a piston pin press, which was good enough. I'd figure they could have charged a half-hour of labor ~ $30, but they did it for free. The local specialty VW place wanted $60 to do 'em. Good luck.

  Listers,

  Before I loose my mind doing a google search of the
arcives & noticing that there's no write up on it in
the knowledgebase I ask,
 has anyone come up with a Magiver'ish way to do the
bearings without bringing the car somewere? Or without
having a press, I also have controll arms & CV boots
to do on the front so doing everything at once would
be great
 is there a way around doing the job the write way
with the proper press? Buying a press is a good idea
but I was thinking that the cost of shipping would be
great, unless someone in the New England are has one
that I could comeover & use for a little, I would
compensate for any time.
 or is there a hand held press or something? Any BTDT
would be great.
 Car in question is my 90 200tqa.
Thanks
Ron
