Alright i've pressed out plenty of wheel bearings before.
I have a 20 ton press, I pressed out the hub fine, like it wasnt even in there. Removed the snap rings and tried to press out the old bearing. It wont budge; both sides. I put some heat on it while it was pressed, nothing. Is there something else i'm missing? -------------------- -93 Rx7, Turbo 6.1L v8, 725rwhp/760rwtq

Yeah definitely press it out with a socket that fits over it and heat that ****er up until it glows, I can't see a hammer getting a modern bearing out .

I've hammered out both my front bearings that way. Really didn't want to pay some shop $250 to press bearings so i did them myself using an Acetylene torch, 3/4" Breaker bar socket size: 2 1/2" i think, 5lb Sledge hammer and Air brakes on a 96 peterbuilt w/trailer(40-50 tons). |
