I decided to replace the front wheel bearings. I have the hubs separated from the rotors and want to sandblast and paint the parts so replacing the bearings seems to be a good idea 'while I'm at it' :smash:
Right now it's all covered in old and nasty grease, the outer bearing is out, the inner bearing seems to be held in place by the seal... can't really see much until I clean this grease off the hubs....
How are the races held in place, press fit or relatively loose ? Do I have to heat the hub to get the races out or can I just beat them out cold ??
I assume I just beat the old races out and then once the hubs are clean put them in the oven and place the new races in the freezer and then just slip them in place ?????
