wheel bearing changing??

[Aaron]

got a set of 98 struts with flat tapered wheel bearings

but i have tapered shafts

how hard is it to take a wheel bearing out then put it back into a strut?(front struts)

do they have to be machine pressed in ?
or can be hammered?

cheers

[raunchz]

need to be pressed in

[Aaron]

is it possible to G clamp it in with a vice etc??

[Mr_P]

The bearings all look flat in my experience. Are you 100% sure they are wrong?

I'm pretty sure the bearings won't press onto a different hub too. So you have to change the hub accordingly.

[Aaron]

apparently theres two different sorts of bearings

one for flat shafts
and one for tapered shafts

i havent seen them to give a 100% yes/no difference.

[saxo-parts]

you will knacker the bearings getting them in and out and on/off hubs

You can't g clamp them in

Just get them pressed in properly, only cost a few pounds to get done.

I used the Old Bearing Case to tap the new one in..and a Heavy Duty Vice too...It can be done, more than 5k and still going strong :)
