[s-cars] Tools for pressing hubs and bearings

[Jerry Scott]

Does anyone have the ODs of the bushings in the HF kit?  The OD of the Audi
front bearing is 3.227 in. as measured from my old bearing that a shop
removed and replaced for me.  I'm thinking of doing the next one myself.

Buy the following instead and to the job on the car in less time for less
money and not take up a bunch of space:

I've used that exact tool in a professional environment about 10 or 12 times
with no issues.

I need to change the front hub bearings on my UrS4.  I am thinking of buying
a 12 ton shop press (H-frame with bottle jack).  However, it would only come
with a 1" (or so) pressing "pin".  I know I will need something much larger,
e.g. 3" to press the bearing out.  What have people used to do this? (I am
hoping for off the shelf Home Depot-type cast iron plumbing bits).

TIA
