Just wanted to vent how much of a pain it is to change wheel bearings. Damn you front wheel drive drillsergeant.gif And getting at the wheel speed sensor connector!

I had an exhaust shop use a torch to seperate the stock bearing, then press in the new one. Cost $30. The bearing itself cost $18.
Now that the stock one's out, I can probably do it again myself using a sledge hammer. lol

ya the stock ones are a pain in the ass but ive changed all my wheel bearings myself. my dad just presses them in at his work for me

any time you are dealing with a drive axle, it is a pain. If the car is RWD.. the fronts are easy and the rears are difficult.. just imagine if you had AWD?

Werd. I did my last bearings while my dad pressed them in at his work. He figured out why they failed prematurely. The 'mechanic' aka parts replacer that replaced them before hammered them in instead of using a press.

I will do <u>all</u> work myself from now on. *minus machining" tongue.gif

I just did my rear hub assembly today (no reason to bother w/ just the bearings). Cost my $50 and took me an hour and a half or so when I've never even had a tire off this car before so I didn't know what to expect. Hardest part was getting the dust cover off.
