Default EBS bearing R&R tool - Only Game in Town?
I would like to replace my rear bearings. Is this the only tool that will work on our cars?


Thanks,

Ken

The tool is made by SIR Tools and is the most effective way to remove the wheel bearings with the upright still in the car.

I think $300-ish, or something like that.

My right side rear is starting to squeak - what was the 'other undercar stuff' mentioned in the DIY that need to be removed to get the axle out? (I haven't looked under the car yet) (yes I'm lazy)

I purchased one 1.5 years ago for something like $135. The dealer wanted $450 to do the job and I already had the bearing.
