Re: Installing Front Wheel Bearings



Steve,





Usually you can find a steel socket, tubing, etc. that is same diameteras the race (slightly smaller) so that you can hammer them in. It is a fun way to abuse perfectly good sockets. Harbor Freight sells various kits with different sized rivers. I have also used the old race (if you did not actually cut it) placed over the new one to hammer against. With the last method the old race can sometimes get stuck but is usually extracted easily with the old vice grips. A dremel tool works wonders if you need to grind away any metal burrs from chiseling.
