I got all four for half off from Harbor Freight. Really stoked on them.

Outer Rear Wheel Bearing Removal

After asking everyone I could think of and searching for an answer, it seemed like my only option for removing the outer rear wheel bearings from my stub axles was to go to a shop and have them pulled.

From Z3

As you might have been able to guess, this is not an option for me, as I am extraordinarily pig headed and cheap. Enter Harbor Freight.

For $49.99 I bought this.

From Z3

A full wheel bearing puller set.

Setup was straight forward enough.

From Z3

I set the contraption very loosely in my vise so it still has room to expand, but won't spin. The threaded rod on the top pushes against the axle while the silver bearing pullers lift the bearing off the stub axle.

From Z3

A few spins of the breaker bar and shablam.

From Z3

There are two surfaces on the stub axle that need to be pulled through the bearing.

Repeat with both sides and you're done!

From Z3

I had this whole job done in about 45 minutes both sides.
I very highly recommend this kit as long as it fits your specific wheel bearings. On my 73 240z it just barely fit.

New stuff and more stripping

Just found out on New Years day that they opened up a Harbor Freight 30 minutes from me. I used to have to drive an hour.

Picked up a few new toys.

This is funny because High Life's are twist top. lol
I've been trying to find one of these forever!
Now my workbench is complete.

From Z2

Picked this Auto Darkening welding helmet for half price.

From Z2

New Grinder/Cutter.

From Z2

And FINALLY got a vise.

From Z2

Kind of a beast but its one of the few vises at HF that got good reviews. Also paid half price.

I got this Tie rod remover at HF too. It is too big but still managed to get it to work.

From Z2

Pain in the ass.

From Z2

Got suited back up and started stripping again.

From Z2

Getting the door jams and cracks I was too lazy to do the first time through.

From Z2

Started on my Fenders.

This one needs some straightening.

From Z2

I gotta go pick up some body work tools. Palm hammers and such.
With any luck I wont fuck this up.
