So you just wedged a chisel between the hub and the bearing race stuck on the hub to remove it? Were you worried about damaging the hub with the chisel? It looks a tiny bit beat up.

When I had this issue, I used a dremmel. Any comments or thoughts on using the dremmel? See the link.

Remove race from bearing

I go through those things like printer paper. I do not understand why Audi's chew these up.

it is easier to just press the hub out, THEN press the whole bearing out so you don't have to pound on the part of the bearing stuck on the hub. The correct torque for the front is 141lb plus 180. Great writeup! And I was sent an orange bearing for my front from PureMS, but ended up getting one from the dealer as I wanted the swiss bearing, not a canadian which the oranges are. Not sure if it really makes a difference or not.
