Software developer notes

Good weather is slowly coming to Rostov-on-Don, which means it's time to work on the car.
Finally changed the wheel hub bearing. Also got to try out the purchased puller. So, guys, even with my father and me working together, we couldn't press it out with the puller. And we used big levers. That's a downside of this tool. But on the other hand, using a washer from the kit, I managed to knock it out with a hammer (though the washers aren't very durable, there are some chips). However, for pressing the bearing in, it works great. But again, we did it together. Whether a person working alone on the street could do it is another question. The impact screwdriver performed excellently, a couple of hits and the bolts came out quite easily. The disc also came off easily, didn't need to use a puller. Overall, due to inexperience, this whole process took me about 10 hours))) Also checked the condition of the caliper pins — the grease is still there and the pins are in good shape! Last time I lubricated them was a year ago (the grease is called MC 1600, I think). As a bonus, I used a tool to push the brake piston back in. It works fine in principle.
