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 |

Well guys, I started on getting the old races out, then realized how &$%*^*( dirty i was getting everything.
Was ready to put the bearings in the freezer then realized, what am i doing? I caved in...Thought about it and ended up going to a local machine shop, amazing what's in that yellow pages book, and having it done pro. $30 and 2 hours later I am set. As I picked them up and saw the press job and fitting all nicely packed and sealed, i realized it would have taken a lot of time, patience, and hand goop to do it myself. Thanks for the advice, i will use the hot and cold idea with other stuff i am sure. ...and if you're in the area, Bob's Automotive Machine Shop is the place. In La Crescenta and been ther about 40 years. Old school workers, luv it! |
