You have to remove the halfshaft nut. Its not pressed onto the axle.

kris.
so the hub is not pressed on the halfshaft. great.
is the hub pressed into the wheel bearing?
or the wheel bearing is pressed into the knuckle?
if you see here.

the wheel bearing looks like its pressed into the knuckle.
then the halfshaft goes thru the center of the bearing.
when i take this apart...it should all come apart except for outer race of the wheel bearing that is pressed into the knuckle..right?

If you need one simple puller that you get(rent) from the parts store will remove it. It will be easiest if you take the knuckle off the car.

Oh yeah, forgot about the halfshaft nut. And I keep calling it spindle, not knuckle. My bad. I would recommend renting the hub puller for sure just so it will make it easier. Less grunt work.
You probably will be good with the uppers as they don't go bad as quickly as the lower. I did replace one on the passenger side a few weeks ago and I just bought the whole upper control arm. It was less hassle IMO.

for the ball joints you can replace just the ball joint. You dont need to replace the whole arm.

Agree with you, but for the price I got for the arm, it was worth it with less hassle to get the old joint pressed out and the new one pressed in. Especially when you don't have 2 cars to use to drive to a ship.

Alright everyone. I have seen many people talk about renting the "Hub Shark / Hub Tamer", but not one mention of where to actually go online to do so...Any ideas, comments or help would be appreciated.
Thanks....oh yeah, I have a 98 VW Beetle, 2.0 and I'm replacing my wheel bearings and drive axles....
