wheel bearings

[Scirocco-Al" <scirocco-Al@insight.rr.com (Scirocco-Al)]

If you have a some really big sockets and a sledge to you can drive it out.
You also will need a big bench vise to press the bearing in.  This isn't the
best way to do it, but the last time I paid some one to do it I watched the
tech do the same thing.

Also, because I beat the hell out of of everyhting when I take it apart I
buy a new hub too.  That way I'm sure it's not bent.
