im just about 2 go shopping for loads of bits like u do for ya C!!! im relpacing the front wheel bearing, and heard u need i 20 ton press or something, or 2 make it easyer buy a new hub and the wheel bearing will be in place? do i need 2 buy a wheel bearing as well, or does it just come with the casing fitted 2 the hub??

hubs are gona be £££££ you dont have to use a press, they will knock in with a hammy and big socket

 

if you have a spare car...run the new bearings and your old hubs to a garage, most guys will push em in for a drink

DO NOT try and push front bearings in with a hammer... you will end up screwing up the hub and the new bearing 'cos you'll not get it in square... :roll:

 

You may manage to get it in so it looks square, but it won't last very long and is generally not a good idea.... Getting a local mechanic a few beers in is definately the best way of doing it... ;) :D

cool, but i can knock the rears in with a hammer n socket cant i? went 2 get some new hubs today and they were bloody expensive!! :shock:

rears you can tap in with the hammer and socket method with no problems... it's only the fronts that need the 20 ton press! :?

Better to use a hammer & the old bearings to knock the new ones in with. :wink:

as long as you knock them all the way in they should be square as they butt up to a shoulder on the hub if I remember correctly
