(I know there is a post somewhere about this but after a quick search and a crying baby i decided it would be a little quickr for me to ask)
Okay so i am finally getting around to doing the wheel bearings in my car, shop was $800 to do them, and because Baby formula and diapers use up all my money (and i am cheep) I am hoping to do them myself.
Any suggestions for me going into this?
and just for the sake of fun, I smoked some guy in a 7th gen Civic, with a turbo this weekend =P

you're suppose to use a SST for this, but maybe others have a work around - a rubber mallot perhaps? Here's the BGB pages for the front, rear is basically the same process. viewtopic.php?f=55&t=2956Starts on FA7 and continues a few pages.

Am only ships to the stats unfortunately, I guess i should lift the front of the car up and check the wheel for wobble, if its still firm i might just order in the bearings and seals form rock auto.
sigh what kind of company wont ship to Canada, Boo Urns i say, my Monopoly money is just as good as that green stuff in the US

just checking for wobble isnt enough, my wheel bearing was gone and it made one hell of a noise, and it was as tight as a nut.
