Longshot.... Anybody has wheel bearing tool around Chicago?
I'm looking to replace my front wheel bearings and trying to avoid buying specialty tool to press out/in hub/bearing. Anybody has leads on rentals? I have plenty of BMW tools, hydraulic press, fender roller, etc, etc, but nothing for this job specifically....

i use my machine shop for bearing races, to insure clearance is maintained to bearing flange. real cheap, same day service usually for my stuff.
Their in palatine on colefax, foreign car rebuilding. They do a lot of Porsche engine work as well as a bunch of items like this.
Bearings always seem to be the lowest common denononator when it comes to repairs and PM!
Here is an image of one my sc's bearing last year.
Then the big trans bearing in the gt3 when Brian Copans rebuilt it last year.
Sweet, Nice work!!
Wow, that sc bearing looks really bad!
I'm super glad I did the front bearings. Car is much more quiet and smoother to drive. I even felt slight grinding sensation through the steering wheel at speeds over 70+ that is gone now. Smooth as butter!
