they're not hard to get out, as long as you have a decent press, we use a 20
tonne fly press, much better than the hydraulic type, but without them your
wasting your time if you get a tight one.

I assume they are different from the rears? I know that you can rent some
tools to help extract the rear bearings while on the car. This won't work
for the front? I was just wondering. I just had the two rears replaced, and
now I'm getting the hum from the right front. Maybe it's time to get a new
vehicle. What will go next?

yes the rears are totally different, you can remove these cases with a small
hammer and a chisell or a flat punch,
if only the fronts were as simple......
its easy to wonder what will go next, but bearings won't last forever, take
comfort in the fact that generally Audi's are pretty reliable and built to
last. as long as they are looked after, IE regularly serviced, theres no
reason why you couldnt expect 200,000 miles.

Depends if he has quattro, the rears and the fronts are then almost the
same, and still a bitch to do, unless you have a decent press.

quattro models have sealed bearings all round, and both front and rear will
need pressing out.
