Where do I get a front wheel bearing tool?

Why are VW wheel bearings so naff? :roll:

Get a bigger hammer!   :roll:  :lol:    :wink:

But seriously folks,.......

Vwcaddy has a nice page about wheel bearing replacement.  He used a plumbing fitting as a driver, he used a press but you can just beat them in with a hammer.  Just dont beat "through" the bearing.  Beat on the outer race.

I, also, simply use a hammer and some make-shift plumbing fittings, a bolt, a slight film of grease (on installation), and a small bottle propane torch to replace bearings.

I know it sounds a bit crude, but, I have probably done 11 or 12 that way and never had any problems. Usually get right at 180k miles on the Mk II bearings.
Machine shops in my area have a $50 minimum charge. Right now, I need groceries instead!!!!!

freezing the bearing might help too...
