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 |

If you clean out all the grease, you will notice that there is a notch in the back side of the shoulder the bearing race sits on. Take a long punch and a hammer and use the notch to drive out the race. It should only take a couple of hits from the punch to get them out. Alternate sides (2 notches) to get them to come out straight. Putting them back in is easy. I have a tool to install bearing races, but you can just tap them in straight with a BRASS hammer. When they get below the point where you can't tap them any more, use a BRASS punch to push them down the rest of the way. |
