stupid wheel bearings

[SoSlow]

i love how nothing ever goes as planned on this pos car...
i undid the 4 triple square bolts and then tried to remove the wheel bearing housing and NOTHING. the stupid thing is completely fused with the aluminum upright

now i have to wait until tomorrow to swing by a shop and have this pos pressed out

[RogueStatus]

just did a friend of mines rear wheel bearing. such a pain in the ass. yea,shoulda thought to have it pressed out and in in the first place.

rear wheel bearings are pressed in, period...
front bearings come in a housing that unbolts

touche, assumed you did a rear for some reason. we got a shop to press it for free,hopefully you can do the same

I loosened all four bolts almost all the way and used a hammer against the heads of the four bolts. Be careful not to cock the bearing to much to cause it to get stuck. If that doesn't work, use some liquid wrench or other pentrant oil to help. Vibration is your friend. Good luck.

LOL, Seriously, tried to take off my door blades (screws were stuck only way to get them off was dremmel, not worth it) Tried to change my O2 sensors (hours of swearing resulting in a lost o2 removal tool in my subframe!) Now I am no mechanic, but it seems like everything on our cars is somehow always stuck and for some reason only a shop/dealer can un-stick it! I love my car though just can't wait to get my S4!!!
