Just finished replacing the last wheel bearing on our Audi(driver's front). Have a large brass drift and huge sledge hammer ready because that pinch bolt is a darned bear. I went through 1/2 can of WD-40 and a 3/4 rachet on the bolt to break it loose , along with the above mentioned items to punch it through. Buy new pinch bolts and nuts. If it gives you real trouble removing it, you'll need to replace the hardware due to distortion to the threads.
Well, control arm replacement will be easy, now that all the joints are lubed up.

WD-40? Try PB Blaster next time.....it's a penetrant.

So is WD-40, just not as strong ; )

Both work reasonably well. How do you like the Borla system on your car? Is it a V6? I'm coming up on exhaust.

BSK

how are you planing on getting the bearing out?

Andy_FL

I don't think Borla makes a V6 exhaust. I love it, great sound and bang for the buck. Check out the exhaust clips on AWE's site.....that's actually my car (but almost 2 years ago!). Good luck.

I've got a Arcan 20 ton shop press(as insurance for problems). Generally, I've never had a problem with Sir Tools Hub tool. It saves me from taking apart the whole suspension and having to realign. Its paid for itself on our car alone(all 4 bearings replaced).
