The video below is a bearing DIY for an ATV vehicle, but you can see Heat + Freeze trick
- Heat the knuckle with heat gun (or propane torch) really well.
- Bearing in Freezer overnight.
For this particular ATV vehicle, the bearing simply drops in with no effort! Unbelievable.
I guess if you use the same trick on X5, you probably need to tap it a bit using old bearing race. Probably no need for the bearing tool.
Can someone try this trick (Heat + Freeze) and let us know if you can get away without bearing tool?
