hey guys, tryin to locate a wheel bearing puller for my 64 bug. i contacted bug performance they r no help at all unless u pay them to do it! if any leads, hit me up, i need help!

Front /rear
if it is the rear is the transmission still in the car.
I have pulled a rear one that just would not go with a special VW puller for removing gears off the crank.

I made the tool that is in the book or on the net. Two bolts cut off the head slot and pull the bearing did not work for me.

Wait you had it apart right

Did you try the homemade puller

You need a flat bar with two holes in it about the same distance as the outer bearing

Cut the heads off long bolts grind a notch in the opposite end of the threads

place inside the race and gently pull by tightening the nuts

I will look for my homemade version and show you

That's a great little diagram Dave.

It's out of the Muir book. I have never been able to get that to work.

I knew where it was from when I saw it. I had just forgot about the diagram.

I tried even had harden bolts. Have you looked at AutoZone in the loan a took program?

I have to admit I have never been to an AutoZone.

you may not be missing much. I mostly get brakes, last 30,000 so for $20-30 I get lifetime brakes. They just dont last but they also dont tear up the rotors to bad.


They will loan you tools. Kragen tool program was a joke.

Doesn't sound too bad. I just always go to NAPA.

Having the POS part break in two weeks..........priceless.

Try this to pull the bearing. You can do this because the tranny is out of the car. And I am guessing the bearings are fresh not rusted in place. Make sure the axle is clean of any rust or buildup. Take some fine sand paper or emery cloth and polish the axle shaft. This will help save the bearing

1) unbolt the bearing holder 4 bolts
2) unbolt the side plated holding the axle to the transmission. 10-12 13mm nuts double check you have all of them
3) you can leave the brake backing plates on the axle
4) Take a piece of 2x4 and a decent weighted hammer and gently but firmly hit the wood that is touching say the shock mounts or any other cast piece. You axle tube should come off with the bearing. The axle should stay in place.


This should not harm the bearing

I've heard of it done this way before. I think the only reason it isn't a more common approach is because you have to take more stuff apart. But in this case, with his trans already out, I think it's a no-brainer. This is exactly how I'd do it.

so do you still want my pull??

hey guys thanx agian for ur help, my lil brother is a wheelbearing magician! hes pullin em tonight or tomorrow.

Sweet! we need to get you rollin'

The sooner the better.
