I need to install rear alignment shims -- both sides. I've read that hub removal often requires a puller. What are my chances of being able to re-use the hubs? I'm concerned that the puller will destroy the bearings.
If I count on needing new bearings, I can pre-order them and have them on hand before I start; but if I don't need them, it's wasted money (and/or the hassle of return shipping).
If I count on re-using the hubs but then destroy one (or both), I'll need to rely on local auto parts stores and accept their brands and prices.
