this may be a stupid question, i did a search but i couldnt find anything.... i am trying to remove the front wheel bearing races, is there a special tool to remove these, or is there something i am missing?, those suckers are in there i cant get them out.... ive never done wheel bearings before, so go easy on me

 

Lay the rotor down and use a long screwdriver or punch to tap out the race from the opposite side. There's just enough overhang to catch it and tap it out. Flip and repeat.

 

how do you get the new ones in?

 

Ideally....with a bushing driver.

In reality, you can use anything to drive it in. Just make sure you keep it straight and drive it in evenly. I used to use a 1/2" drive extension about 8" long and a medium sized hammer (before I gained access to a fully equipped shop. )

 

You can also use the old race to drive in the new race.

 

Thats how i did mine.Tap them out w/flat blade screw dr or a sutible tool.Then used the old race to install new ones..

 

yeah, i just got mine done a few days ago, just takes a little patience
