First off I'm no mechanical expert but having this procedure done twice on my car I can tell you they use a special device to press the new bearings into place. Maybe someone on here has done this job. I haven't looked into it. Two more things. The bearings come in a packing grease and need to be cleaned of this and get another kind of grease, i think a green type. Someone else should clarify this for you. The second time they were replaced the bearing housing was also replaced on both rear wheels. This was supposed to extend the life of the bearings. They haven't went out since this was done. I keep expecting them to at any time, because they would'nt last 10,000 miles before. I had my car at Subaru for transmission work years ago and they told me two weeks to do the rebuild and then didn't order all the parts needed so thats another week. I called Subaru America and complained. They had my car done in two days when the heat was applied. Good luck in you're case.
