re: wheel bearings
It's not too hard.
You need a good punch with a 3/8" diameter or so on the end, about
8 or 10" long. A large hammer. Inside the hub, after you clean it up,
theres 2 notches, usually. Using punch pound the outer races out.
Now carefully tap the new ones in, taking care. No dings!!!
Pack the bearings and reassemble. Mail me if you have questions.
Good luck, Jake
