I need to change a wheel bearing (or two) on the front of the girlfriends car this weekend and was wondering what tool I need to press out the bearing and press a new one back in? Normally I would just change the whole knuckle, but I don't hae the option this time.

Anyone help me out with a list of tools, diagram of the tools/or procedure, and any how-to's??...or anything?

Thanks guys/gals...

you need a big ass press, call a sears they can usually do it

 

Gotcha....thanks.

any machine shop can do it.

 

Well, I went to sears to have them press out the bearing and press in the new one for $27 CDN (I was just going to bring them the knuckle but I couldn't get the caliper bolts out) so I took them the whole car...they took the car for a test drive and came back and told me she also needs a left tire rod end, left upper control arm, right wheel bearing, and right lower ball joint...sigh...back to the drawing board...

The rest of it I can do...just got get her the parts...sigh...

Yeah most of the time there full of shit ! Just take a look at the parts yourself and make sure they need fixing b4 you buy the stuff

 

seriously,thats what they are told to do.95% of the time there is nothing
wrong with your parts or even if there is something even slightly wrong with your
part what ever it may be it will last longer than your car before it breaks.
