replacing bearings?
so i finally gathered all the tools and parts to replace my sister's rear wheel bearings and I just wanted to ask if there was a proper way to press the new bearing out of the outer race to clean out the packaging grease and pack it with some new grease. I've only changed out sealed bearings before so this is new to me. also any advice before i start removing the old bearing would be appreciated.

I have done my bearing 3 times so far and it took 3 times to get it right! You can only turn the radio up so loud!! Even though ive done it 3 times I cant remember exactly how I did it, sorry. For sure a good press though! Here are a couple pointers anyways. I used syn grease my 3rd time and most imported torque everything to spec. do not over tighten axle nut!!!!! I have 60,000 miles on my 3rd set and they are still quiet!

Good points! Use synthetic grease (high temp), torque to specified values, and keep everything very clean. Good luck.
