ive never replaced a wheel bearing and my girlfriends wheel bearing in her car is shot(so says the mechanic she took it to). they want to charge her more than she can afford so i figured id help out and try and replace it for her, BUT ive never replaced one before. anyone want to give me some tips before i start this fun deal?
you’ll probably have to get the correct socket… the bolt is really big. make sure you don’t pull the half shaft out too far either. the hub is usually a bitch to seperate from the axle too. might want to rent the tool to pull it also, just don’t use a slide hammer cause it’ll fuck up the axle.
