I need to change the drivers front wheel bearing. I have the hub out and have pushed out drive axle and have pushed out the part the holds the rotor and wheel on. The bearing is in half now and I have having trouble getting therest bearing out of the hub. I have the ring off too. Any ideas? I have been heating and pounding? Thanks

He will try to sand it and see how it goes. Keep ya posted. QUOTE(ken2400 @ Oct 14 2008, 05:05 PM) I found a guy for $20. I post how it went. Thanks [right][snapback]196269[/snapback][/right]

Could not fit retaining clip in. I am happy I was able to get my $$ back BUT in the end the Korea bearing was around $70. I put it all back in and noise is gone :460:
