Not a mac person but I suspect stuffit expander would work fine.

Usually they will comes a command line type of program, i.e. you have to use Terminal.
Hence you should open up a terminal window and drag in the file (which brings up the command in the window).

after that, you can try to meddle around with the various modifiers/commands etc. that are available. The format is:

rar <command> -<switch 1> -<switch N> <archive> <files...> <@listfiles...> <path_to_extract\>

i usually use the following:

..../rar e <archive to be extracted> <directory to extract to>

Hope it helps! if you need further help just drop me a mail or something...

So stuffit expander with a GUI doesn't work for RAR files on macs?

I'm using a BOM replacement called The Unarchiver. Works great.
