Default Wheel Bearings

Anyone have a press I can use, also a bit of instruction? I'll throw some cash your way?

I'd take it to a machine shop. They'll do it in 3 seconds and it'll only cost you like $10.

hum really...weird I was gettin my tires put on yesterday. And I asked them how much they would charge to put them in for me. He said $120 including parts...Then I said, oh, is there anyway I can do it myself cause I like to do all my own work. He goes no prolly lot, Ill make you a deal and do it for $90. So you are pretty sure and machine shop can do it that cheap? if I provide the part. if so, thats what im doing, I hate paying people for labor, when I can do it for free. and the exact same, or better.

Yeah, that's what I did. If you have the press there, it will only be as long as it takes to for you to unbolt your wheel and brake caliper. (Maybe 15 minutes per wheel?)

Default Re: Wheel Bearings

It's okay dude, wheel bearings can be a bitch, I'm just trying to get a place lined up and everything so I can do it in one afternoon, and it doesn't end up like my last wheel bearing change. Know of any good local machine shops, or whichever one said they'd do it for you for like 10 bucks? I'd go to Oceana, but I'd rather have someone who knew what they were doing to put em' in. I don't wanna be the retard who buys 100+$ bearings and fucks em' up ya know?
