Re: Wheel bearing replacement (Legion)
The bearing race sticks to the hub. You need to spend 10 hours grinding/sawing to get it off, or you can buy a press and spend 2 hours rigging **** to push it off. Either way it sucks. Trust. Oh, and you need to buy/rent a slide hammer to get the hub off. You also need a press to get the new bearing in without damaging it.

Re: Wheel bearing replacement (si vtec ftw)
it can all be done on a press and with an air hammer to get that hub ring off. just dont put it in a way that u will warp the part where the studs are attached..

Re: Wheel bearing replacement (97grnrs)
if u have acces to a press use a bearing splitter to get the race off the hub, if not u can cut it off with a cut off wheel, and to press the bearing back in u should really uae a press but it can be done without one get something to hold the hub up flat and set the bearing in, get a piece of flat steal and a 2x4 and a small sledge hammer and beat it on evenly it a pain but can be done, the brake dust sheild can be laft off but it looks ghetto

I had to cut the inner race to get it off. However I cannot find a replacement part number for it. Am I fuct?
*Edit: I was sent the wrong bearing without an inner race.

Re: Wheel bearing replacement (Muckman)
i dont know what a new hub is worth but it might be cheap enough to just blast out the old bearing and install and new bearing with new hub. when i change them at work i dont bother with the old hub only because pulling the race off is a PITA. i charge the customer for a new hub at the same time.
so much easier/faster.
