I ended up putting a large bearing puller behind the hub and used screws to screw against it to push the hub out!

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Does anyone know how I can remove the hub from the wheel carrier without buying the $300 SIR tool or without removing the whole wheel carrier and taking this to get pressed out? I'm trying to change the wheel bearing on my 2001 996 C2 Below are some pictures: http://imageshack.us/a/img809/6908/20130414213013.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img213/6703/20130414212954.jpg

VRtuned ECU Flash for the C63 AMG The AMG 6.3L V8 Mercedes engine can gain some major improvements related to torque and horsepower gains. In addition, we can also change the torque limiter, throttle response, remove the speed limiter, and increase your rev range. The C63 requires the ECU to be removed so it can be bench flashed. The ECU is very easy to remove on the C63. It is located right below the passenger window trim (USA right side facing the car). Once you remove the cover and unbolt the bracket, the ECU plugs are removed and you are ready to go. You can send in your ECU to be flashed and we will overnight it back to you. Crank horsepower gains rated on 93 or better octane give you over 50 horsepower and torque. Proving the performance, we ran this car on our Mustang Dyno. We had a baseline of 329 rear wheel horsepower and 338 ft/lbs of torque. Our start of the test was at 2500rpm and finished at 6600rpm. We ran our tests in 3rd gear with a multiplier of 1.00 for the dyno settings. Without doing any drive time or adaptation, the after ECU flash made 379rwhp and 362ft/lbs of torque . The torque gains were very impressive from 2500 - 4200 rpms. The horsepower curve stayed extremely strong where the stock fell off. With a typical drivetrain loss of about 15% on a Mustang dyno in our heat and with the 91octane, we still made 50rwhp! More info on the VRtuned C63 ECU Flash can be found HERE Ordering Phone: You can reach me directly by calling [phone removed] ext 246 to place your order over the phone. Payment Methods: We accept payment via Credit/Debit Cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express), Paypal, Bank Wire Transfer, and Bill Me Later.

The only way to do it is with the specialty tools, Pelican Parts I believe sells a complete kit. You may find a used kit somewhere.
