Anyone done a rear wheel bearing?

[swaggerwagon]

Have a bad rear passenger bearing.

Suggestions on how easy/difficult it is? I've searched and can't find anything for B7s. I know it's press in and ECS has a special tool.

I can only work on my car on post in the auto shop as my tools are in storage in NC for when I move back in May.

I did mine (Quattro) and it was not that hard. Of course it all depends of your skills levels
As far as tooling and having a total of 4 Audi/VW to take care of in the Family, I invested in this kit, who works like a charm: http://www.harborfreight.com/fwd-front-wheel-bearing-adapters-66829.html

ECS instructions can be applied as well I take it?

The harbor freight kit is just a bearing press. Our kit has a special horse shoe that allows you you remove the hub on the vehicle. With the harbor freight kit you'll need to either remove the rear upright and press the hub off or integrate some sort of puller to remove the hub.

Our kit does this all in one.
