Rear Bearing Removal/Install Tool

If your tired of that rear-end rumble, maybe its time to replace those rear wheel bearings. There's a lot of guys out there that have done this with  a big ol' hammer, a couple of Cole chisels. But you'll need some luck too, to avoid damaging your aluminum trailing arms. A lot of Porsche owners go down that road because the special tool to extract and insert the bearing is expensive (I've found them priced at $320!). I sell the tool for less than half of that and guarantee success. This link will take you to detailed instructions for how to use the tool.  Expect the work to take about 2-1/2 hours per side. This tool is made of solid steel and is very tough. It includes precision machined discs to fit the close tolerances of the Porsche suspension.   

Special note to all interested buyers: this tool has been redesigned (twice) to improve strength and usability. The yellow picture below is what you will now get when you order this item. It is functionally identical to the earlier tool, shown throughout my "directions."

Additional note: large tools are needed to do this job. I use a 3/4 inch drive ratchet and breaker bar. I have done the job with 1/2 inch tools but bigger works better.

Note to 911 owners: I designed this tool for the 944 and have sold many of them. I donated one to a friend in the UK who successfully used it to remove the rear bearings from his 1981 911 3.0 SC.
