Re: 4k wheel bearings...

European Car Magazine did a segment in August 1995 on removing Audi 4000 
wheel bearings.  Included in the article was a source for a special wheel 
bearing puller set designed to do the work while the strut is on 
the car.  The company that makes the tool is called Schley Products, but 
the article mentioned no address or phone # for them.

Good Luck!
