Wheel bearing housing, servicing using
VAG1459B

Instead of using the VAG1290 workshop press,
the VAG1459B hydraulic wheel bearing and
wheel hub removal and installation tool together
with the VAG1459B/2 accessory can instead be
used to service the wheel bearing housing.
Advantages:

Wheel bearing housing does not need to be
completely disassembled
Track rod and lower control arm remain in
position at wheel bearing housing; therefore
wheel alignment does not need to be checked
