Default Anyone have the EBS Bearing Tools?
Will need to swap the wheel carrier on the FR on my C2. From what I see on past threads this requires some specific tools to get it done on your own .

Would anyone mind renting the set. Would pay for shipping and rental fee, etc.

Before you start taking stuff apart, make sure you crack loose the center axle nut. At 342ft/lbs or something crazy, you either need to do it with the car on the ground, tires chocked up, or with someone sitting in the car, idling for brake booster assistance, firmly pressing the brake pedal.

I saw several threads mentioning that too. I plan to soak in pb blaster as well. However if no one has a set to loan out, I might have to buy, and that price tag is ball busting.

I use a 3:1 torque multiplier for this. Also to torque it up. I can crack the nut loose with my pinky... I think it's the best way. I've heard so much about guys standing on four foot breaker bars....
