[s-cars] Wheel Bearing tool?

[Robert Rossato]

Tom,

The axle hub is driven out by threading in two bolts into opposing holes
on the hub, bottoming them out on the strut housing, and slowly
tightening each bolt to pull the hub from the bearing.  I believe on our
cars you need another piece that is installed behind the hub to give the
bolts something to push against.  Didn't have to do that on the smaller
VW/Audi struts.
