Be sure to mark the position of the camber adjuster bolt. I slid mine out without thinking of it, but I lucked out because the bolt head and frame member were dirty, and I could see the outline of where the bolt was.

Congrats, its a heavy bugger. Take it slow and follow the directions for the first. You'll need to remove the inner race first, then pop on a larger press piece to get the rest out. Not having to dismantal the whole suspension and re-align, priceless. I found its been very handy to have some of those press pieces around for the shop press. Becareful on the hinges on that blow-mold case, they are quite fragile considering the weight of that tool. I've already ordered a 2nd case. I'll predict here, your going to quickly gain a few friends when they find out you've got that. Have fun this weekend ; )

I was looking at quality of the case. How expensive is it? I know when I had to order a replacement case for my Hilti TE-76 ATC the case set me back $100 (much better case for sure)

I forget exactly, but cheap, as in $20-25 or so $$. Ours paid for itself long ago. The fact we don't have to schedule and deal with the dealer almost ever is worth it alone. Repairs can be done when ever is convenient.
Just make sure that the bearing does not cant on installation. I like to keep the bearing in the freezer over night and heat the hub a bit with the torch before dragging the bearing in. Its a little more work but it does ease things and probably reduces the stress on the bearing during installation.

seem to go so frequently on the B5. On my B3's I never had to replace a wheel bearing in 200k miles of ownership on the '88 or 150k miles for the '91
