Love 'em! I like to grease my wheel bearings so they come out again next time.
You've got a really great style on those though.

Bah, what good are these. The arms are off the car and you are using presses and vices

WHich HF press do you have? is the 12 ton press ($139.00) good enough?

Thanks all... they're rough but, hopefully will have some useful info. I'll get better at it as I do some more (well... that's the premise anyway).
I realize I'm cheating by using the proper tools but, a point I try to make in the bearing videos is, you can march into your local HF and get the 12 ton for under $100.00 on sale. You will get some use out of it if you're the "wrench'n" type and, it beats hauling control arms back and forth to a local shop that would probably charge you $50-$100 "per-pop" to remove and install. Why not buy the tool and have it pay for itself in one job. I don't know how may tools I've purchase with that motto.
Some tools you don't get at HF... this is one you do. That one has seen 10 years of regular use without a hickup.
I'll try to pull in the hubs and video that this afternoon. Then... ??? Maybe some caliper video's.

Thanks Eric. Even though I've done this several times, and yes, I have the same press, I would have liked to seen it before my first time.
It would have saved me the trouble of figuring it out myself.LOL

I don't like it. There is no plot to it. You don't develop your characters at all. You definitely need a female protagonist with big hooters.

I was gonna say it's easier to do 'em on a car with a 2lb sledge and drift, but I didn't wanna hurt his feelings ya know being the professional he is and I'm only a backyard shadetree unpottytrained mechanic.

We need a World Video Library.
Granted, it's very (very) basic and needs some updating, but we do have some videos ...
http://www.914world.com/videos/index.phpMaybe we should make it a video forum?

Nice! Good job Sheaster. I like how the first video is a nice easy pace and then the second one sounds like you had a pot of coffee and a case of red bull beforehand.

Great job explaining it. For those interested, I've also "cut" those stubborn races with an oxy-acetylene torch. (Obviously great care is needed.)

Sweet! Keep them coming. Brake caliper rebuild vids would be fantastic. Maybe start with the A caliper. I have 2 of them I need to rebuild.

You gotta know I'm a fanboy...
...but, here's a thought:
A brief explanation of why the hub has to be supported from both sides and carefully drawn into the bearing could be included in the video?
