Replacing front wheel bearings

The 3/4" screw is not big enough. I went through one screw per bearing until i upgraded.

If you got it in far enough to set the circlip it's good to go.

I broke a 1/2" breaker bar on one. I couldn't get the second one off with breaker bar i got a high torque m18 and never had a problem since.

I used to put the bearing in the freezer overnight but with the 1" screw no longer needed.
