all i can say is when you put them back in, where the hub slides into the knuckle put some grease or some anti seize on it to make it easier next time for removal.

OTC 6290 is the tool. Google it. You could make one if you have some steel and a welder.

It bolts to the lug nuts and pushes the axle shaft and pops off the bearing.

i read about that but using a socket or somthin similar

 

[iretommy81]

use a puller, tap it and pull and tap. over and over.. also use a cold chizzle between the hub and knuckle and hammer it all around. just go easy.

 

[farmboy458]

yea i cant remember how exacly to do it...hopefully someone on here will chime in

be careful with the socket trick, i ed up a couple bolts and marked up the axle.

snap-on, matco and lisle tools all make that little socket like tool for popping the bearing out. i think they usually run like $60 bucks. or you can try the puller, but with the puller on be careful not to mess up the axle shaft end or the axle seal so try to keep everything straight as possible. if you have an air hammer you can always put some tension on the hub assembly with the puller then hit the hub from the inside with the air hammer. sometimes that works (can also heat it up first with that torch then hit it with the air hammer). theyre a pain man! good luck!

Press it out with the power steering.
