rear wheel bearing diameter.

[mcbonio]

Anyone know what the exact diameter of the rear wheel bearing on an e30?

I'm going to change the all the bearings on my turd, but I'm not paying 150 quid for a bearing insertion tool, as it's just a piece of threaded bar with some fat washers.!

I'm going to make my own bearing insertion tool, which will be more fun, and I need to know what the outer race diameter is on the rear bearings. Mine haven't arrived yet so I can't measure them. and I want to get the parts before the weekend.

Anyone know?

also you will need a smaller washer to remove it as it presses against a lip in the hub,then use the old beaing to push the new one in.get a good hub puller too,incase the shaft is jammed and a bearing splitter at least 75 m/m.have fun
