AWR-fix: Front Wheel Bearing Remove & Replace

[andrewwynn]

The press is the kit from harbor freight just drilled out to 1" and an 8" grade 8 fine thread bolt.

I've seen people hobble together what they need from some generic plumbing hardware like cast iron flange etc… the trick is the 1" bolt.. 3/4" bolt is worthless to get the old bearing out. I've stripped out 3 or 4, 3/4" threaded rods in the process of changing a few of these, but as you can see in the video it literally took 1 minute of impact with the right tool to push out the old bearing. Putting the new one in took maybe 4 or 5 because i did it by hand and it takes a good number of turns to get that turned in.
