[Vwdiesel] Limping Home: Front Wheel Bearings

Val said:
seems that pulling the hub flange is the first
step, and then working the bearing out.  So a piece of well caseing,
with a plate over it, and a hole for the threaded rod....

...Would a sliding hammer concoction help get the flange off?...

sometimes you have to press pretty hard.  Slidey hammer would beat the crap
out of a lot of stuff, transfering shock and such.  screw presses are more
direct to the target area, and less breakage of all else.  Last spindle I
had to take apart needed roughly 20 T force in a 50T press, it popped apart
with a bang, and chunks shot out like a cannon, well beyond the slide hammer
or swing press realm.
In areas with less salt, maybe.
