Front Hub Bearings

[Stickman400]

Has anyone on here changed their front hub bearings? How did you get the old bearings out? I tried using our press to press them from the outside in since it tapers in toward the outside, but they didn't budge. Is there a trick to it or do I need to just get a bigger press? All we have is a 20 ton bottle jack press.

Here's a good sticky from the "how to" section...http://www.exriders.com/vbb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=222231

To get the new ones in easier, Put the new bearings in the freezer over night and bring the hubs in to warm up to room temperature.
There will still be resistance, But they will glide right into place with a C-clamp or press. I do it all the time with my rock crawler and anything else with press related/tight clearances. Good luck

Thank You kt! That is just what I needed. I don't know why I didn't look in the sticky to begin with.
