My mechanic has all these bearing removal and pressing tools, its incredible the amount of different little gadgets he used. Make sure to use Synthetic grease. I went with the Amsoil grease. Its red and looks like tomato paste. He only charged me $80 a side to remove and press in the bearings. Talk about a deal!!  |
Does the $80 per side include feeding your mechanic supper as well. That could "eat up" any savings!
LOL!
