[s-cars] home-made wheel bearing puller added to KB

[CLAG500 at aol.com]

Very nice. Looks just like the Hub Shark I have in the garage. Take a close  
look at the pic of the Hub Shark kit and notice the small puller. You will  
need one of these to remove the inner bearing race that will remain pressed  on 
the spindle when you pull the bearing. The Hub Shark also has a big bracket  
that is used to pull the bearing out but if remember correctly from doing  
bearings 4 years ago the bracket was only necessary because the Hub Shark didn't  
come with a spacer large enough to fit around the S4 bearings.
 
Have you tested it out yet? You want to be sure you have everything you  need 
before you pull that bearing. Looks good but you may need a couple more  
items to get the job done. (like the small puller). I would also highly  recommend 
an impact with lots of power for this job. Cranking the bearing out by  hand 
with one of these pullers is not fun.
