Looking to purchase one of these tools that also pulls the hub out of the bearing without having to pull the bearing carrier off of the VW/Audi. Also one that will not damage ABS components.



Yeah I could get the "cheapie" tool from Harbor Freight for $80 plus shipping.

it does not pull the hub out which I guess is its only drawback. I have looked the Parts Place

Have you tried Autozone? You can rent the tool by applying a deposit on it and getting the deposit upon returning the item. This way , you can try it before buying it. Just a thought.

Years ago I "mail-order" rented a front wheel bearing tool from RapidParts to do the front bearings in our 82 Rabbit convertible (which just qualified for antique tags!). I'm 99% sure it was made by "Schley" which, AFAIK, is the "official" DIY VW fromt wheel bearing tool.

I haven't looked at the PartsPlace catalog, but I'll bet it's the Schley tool. After a short web search, I believe it is the Schley Products tool No. 63500 or Schley Products tool No. 85500. Apparently, they also make an ABS adapter to got with it. $275 is about the right price.
