i need help badly, i am soo deep into the brake change something has to be wrong. ok i am doing a rotor change on this car which i just bought, i have gone as far as now taking the spindles off. is there some trick to taking the wheel bearing out? is it needed? ANY and ALL help on this would be greatly appreciated!

 

There are 4 bolts on the back of the knuckel holding the wheel bearing in. The hub is pressed into the wheel bearing, so it must be removed. you will need a 10mm 12 point socket to remove the bolts. Once those bolts are out, it may still be rusted in there, if thats the case, you will need to beat it out with a hammer. BUT be careful because you dont want to ruin the bearing or the splines on the hub by mushrooming the end.

For pics of what i'm talking about, do a quick search of "DIY - Rotor over hub conversion" I made a DIY of the conversion, but it has pics of me removing the old hub that you can look at.
