wheel bearing puller - home made
Recently I had to change my drivers rear wheel bearing, but didn't want to wait for porsche certified tool. So I made a few measurements, and headed to Home Depot to see what I could find. Figured I would share these parts for any interested parties. Total cost was about $30 or so for parts.

Just reverse tool to seat new bearing. I did freeze bearing and heat trailing arm with cheap propane torch. Also froze hub before installing.
Hope this helps.

I broke the axle nut loose with a 1" breaker bar plus extension. I broke two 1/2" breaker bars before I bought a 1" bar.
I retorqued it with the same set up, but no torque wrench. I knotched the nut after I set it.

I also developed my own rigging for removing/instaling the bearing, and based on what I've read from others here, and how difficult it was to get mine started out, I doubt that a slide hammer would have any effect. Bearing's just too tight. Heat usually is required, even with a threaded rod for removal.
