a. This is a critical step, so be precise and take your time
b. Ensure that bearing has plastic retainer ring installed on inner race to hold the bearing assembly together during pressing.
c. To press in new bearing, you need to find an object that is the same overall diameter as the new bearing’s OUTER race. An object that works perfectly for this is your old bearing’s outer race . DO NOT PRESS ON THE INNER RACE OF THE NEW BEARING!!! Simply place the old outer race on top of the new outer race, and press the new bearing into the knuckle. Press new bearing in from front of knuckle. Continue pressing until bearing is tight against the metal retainer ring formed into the knuckle. At no point should the press take enormous amounts of force. Ensure that your press and the knuckle are at 90* so that bearing presses in straight.
9. Re-install snap ring. Ensure that spring clip sits in the groove on the outboard edge of the new bearing
10. Install new outer oil seal. Will need to be pressed in (again, use old outer race as press tool), but pressing effort is very light.
11. Install new inner oil seal. Will need to be pressed in (again, use old outer race as press tool), but pressing effort is very light.
12. Re-install ABS tone wheel
13. Press hub back into housing.
a. While you are pressing the hub into the bearing’s inner race, the hub will displace the plastic retainer ring on the inner race of the bearing. This retainer ring is holding things together and keeping the inner races from separating from each other during the press. In order to keep the inner races from moving once this ring is displaced, you need to support the inner race on the back/bottom side of the bearing. To do so, when you are setting up this press, simply take the two inner races from the old bearing, and stack them on top of each other. Then set the knuckle/bearing assembly on top of these inner races so that the hole in the new inner race lines up with the holes of the stacked inner races. Now, when you press the hub into the new inner races, they cannot displace because they are being supported by the old inner races. If you don’t do this, the inboard inner race of your new bearing will fall out of the rear of the knuckle as you press the hub into place.
Now you should have a complete knuckle with a new bearing installed. Now just re-install the knuckle. Don’t forget to re-install the ABS sensor and e-brake cable into the knuckle, and get your pictures so you know how to put the e-brake back together
