Front bearing removal on a '96 Avant
Does anyone know if you can press the bearing out without disconnecting the suspension(tie rod end, ball joint, etc)? Obviously the axle needs to be out of the spindle.

I used a loaner tool to change a wheel bearing on one of my old Sciroccos...
Very convenient and easy to use tool. You don't have to take as much apart, no alignment needed and no trip to a machine shop to get the new bearing pressed in. $90 dollars is pretty cheap for that tool, the ones I have seen were a lot more. I will be buying one if I ever need to replace a wheel bearing.

lol...in case you missed the memo, everything is made in China ;-)
This tool is very worth owning for the number of times you're going to ever do front wheel bearings on anything.
And as far as quality goes, I've seen the expensive "real" ones ruined by miss use and/or years of heavy use.
