Looking for advise for pulling the front wheel bearing chase(s) in an 88Rx.
There are no channels in the wheel hub to pound them out, ala a punch. My dad swears there should be groves in there designed for just this purpose... to no avail.
So I made 3 "access points" (120 deg apart) to pound from.

Couple questions...
Is a wheel bearing puller a common item... perhaps going by a different name? And thoughts where to find one...?
Suppose these chases are stuck... what is a reasonable amount of stress before I should re-think the process?

Any other experiences removing the bearing chase(s)?
I suppose they shouldn't be in there so tight?

THanks!

Best thing to do is head over to MazdaTrix and read over the FAQ on changing them out.

Ok, mystery solved... its not just me... Mazda really did pull one over.
I had thought about making some punch points... the pics were more agressive than I was thinking.
The links gave me the nod to go ahead.
Glad I asked first.
Great links... Shop Manual is a real bonus.
