rear bearing tool wanted

[Baby]

Anyone willing to loan or rent the bearing tool that arnworx sells? I'd rather borrow one than assemble one with hardware store items.

Thanks.

Maybe pop into the regional section of the forum and see if someone in your area might have one. Otherwise, we have some bearing tool kits here as well: Porsche 911 (1974-1989) - Axles, Bearings & Differential - Page 5. Not for rent only for purchase unfortunately. Also, not sure if you've seen this thread (assuming you may have since you said you'd rather rent one than make one), but this thread shows a good DIY method for the tool: Rear Wheel Bearing Removal. Good luck!

Get a length of steel pipe the appropriate diameter and whack it out with BFH. Install new bearing that was left in a freezer over night, a little lube and it slips right in.

This works well. Just make sure that the bearing is not cocked and is straight coming out and going in.

Thanks, guys.
