1. I need to press in the front wheel bearings. Can I just use a big socket and tap/hit them in? Is there a better way? I do not have a press.
2. What do I grease? I'm assuming a pack it in the bearings, but do I put grease anywhere else? Do I pack these before or after I press them in?   Thanks! -Jeff --------- |
