Replacing front wheel bearings, do I need use of a press?
Replacing front wheel bearings, do I need use of a press?
Front right wheel bearing is shot, will I need to take the piece into a shop so they can use a press, or can I get them out using hand tools? Please reply ASAP, I will be doing the replacement tomorrow. It's 108 degrees around here so I don't want to be messing around out in the sun with them if it's impossible to remove without a press, thanks.

Where is "The Part Source"? in Canada, I've never heard of them before and that seems like a good price.

hmmmm mine are also shot but i think the axle is also grinded down :*( it bumps after going 60 mph and i got confirmation that iut is bad bearings
Not to steal the thread but does it matter of we use abs or non abs bearings? Also that press... they dont sell it in the us?

you defently need a press.. and its a tough job to do. its not really something you want to bother learning either. in my opinion of course. i took the whole hub and bearing out and took it to a shop and they did it for me, it took them 45 mins to change the bearing for me, then i took it home and put it back in. even using the press is a hard job, and if you havent done it before its gonna be a little hard to figure out.. well its kinda easy to fig out, but takes a nack to do it.
