Wheel bearing tool
« Reply #15 on: February 29, 2008, 01:40:18 PM »
I've done both front and rear. It's obvious which part of the bearing should be used for each part. I used a wheel puller from harbor freight to pull the front off. The inner race that stays on the spindle can be nudged with a chisel. The spindle nut will pull in the fronts by applying pressure to the inner race only. I used all thread for the rears. You can tap the rear into the trailing arm hitting the outer race only. When it's as far as it will go you can use the old outer race as a drift to go the rest of the way. I used the rear nut in the socket to pull the hub into the inner race and the old inner race on the inside. The only way to go wrong is to stress the inner and outer races at the same time. This damages the bearing.
