I have a rear wheel bearing failing on my '91 318is. I normally do my own maintenance but reading the procedure in my Bentley manual makes it sound like I will have to rent a puller to get the axle out, remove the trailing arm from the body to get the old bearing out, and that I would still be at some risk of ruining the new bearing if I don't have a press to do the installation. So I'm looking for guidance from someone who has done this job at home. TIA for any experience out there.
