Could anyone explain the procedre for replaceing the fron wheel bearings, or point me in the right direction. I know that on the rear they are pressed into the disk itself, but i keep reading the fronts are pressed into the hub?? Anyone got a minute to explain this to me so i can give google a break for a while...

hub off, bang flange out, grind inner race off the hub flange.

Then remove the crap from the outer bearing which is still in the hub.

Remove circlip, then using a hydraulic press you normally need about 20 tons to get them shifting press it out.

Press new bearing into hub, fit circlip then press thehub flange into the bearing.

Ok steve just let me know.
