Got into this brake work, have all the parts then realized i have to press in the inner and outer races into the rotors. Doesn't seem to easily tap in.
Is this something I can easily do myself with limited tools? or am I looking at taking it somewhere and dropping $30 or $40? thx |

Just ignore the crazy look the wife gives you, or just get used to it. It doesn't take much 250 for 20 minutes. I use a block of wood and a mallet to pound in the races. |

Just slip them into the oven as the wife is baking cookies. She'll never know the difference. (However, I'm not sure I'd eat the cookies...) Eric Read |
