    stupid Wheel bearing problem

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I am Doing all 4 wheel bearings on my 2000 a4. My problem is Both front wheel bearing housings. I need the tool that presses the two lower control arms from the lower ball joint out of the housing. The Bentley describes this part as 3287a. If anyone has info on this tool or if you could possibly give me a part number so i can pick one up at a napa or something. If you have ever done this you know how much of a pain in the ass it is so any info is much appreciated, thanks.

    We normally use a air hammer to get the two parts apart.

    I just leave the nuts on and hit the with a hammer and they come right out, you tap around the edge to break the tension also.
