Hey all....

If you're like me, your constantly trying to save a buck here and there while still getting the job done. I need to replace one of my wheel bearings and was minutes away from buying the SIR tool when I stumbled upon this thread. Seems lots of guys have had great success! I'll be giving it a shot this next weekend.

where were you six months ago?

I would buy a couple of the rods, it looks like it will bend. Also you will need a way to pull the hub out.

Lol - Seafeye, you're the one who gave me the confidence to try the whole ordeal myself. Thanks for the write up and picks on your bearing problems.

I'm also going to replace my cv joint boots while I'm in there. Got whole kits on ebay for $13.95 each (grease, clamps, boot).

While we are on the subject....

If you go through the trouble of taking the wheel carrier totally off the car then don't bother buying the puller or the home depot puller either. Just take the carrier to a repair shop and ask them to press out the old bearing and put in the new.

Or for $169 at Harbor Freight..China Freight you can buy your own hydraulic press. Cheaper than the sir tools. But you do have more work to do going

this route. Plus you will need a wheel alignment.

Or for $30 i will rent you my tool.
