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 |

Not to bad to get out once you find the slot. You just need to get a long flat screwdriver and put it thru the shaft hole to the slot in the bearing seat on the roter (back of the race). If i remember there are two areas that have the seat missing so you don't cock the race (12 and 6 O'clock). Once they are out just freeze the new races. Take the old races and grind the outer edge down a bit so the slide in and out of the roter. Then use the old races to drive in the new races. It is not a bad job you can do it without any special tools.
