I know there is a which brand wheel bearing thread in the beginners tech but I don't want to jack it. I have done front wheel bearings three times. I pressed the first ones in/out on a 100 ton press which was reading almost 60 tons when it released my civic manual said it took 50 tons. Now that's a bad bearing! Next time I had no access to a huge press and paid a machine shop to press in and out.
Six months ago I did my brothers bearings, paid a machine shop, they pressed them out and set the bearing on the hub, started the bolts and said tighten them evenly to set the bearing in the hub.
So now I know they don't need pressed in but my question is are there any methods to get them out of the hub in a garage full of junkyard tools? Ie hammer, chisel, dremmel? ACME size magnet.
A few months ago I saw in a thread someone cut it with a dremmel if it was really frozen. hellraisen was the poster I believe. My last two days of searching did not uncover a DIY, maybe ill make one.
