Just be aware, if you pounded on the bearing in an attempt to get it out, it probably won't last long. I got mine out with the Harbor Freight blind bearing puller kit (~$35 IIRC). First one was very difficult to get out; second side came out much easier.   Xbimmer Posted on Sunday, February 07, 2010 - 10:37 am:        Just be aware, if you pounded on the bearing in an attempt to get it out, it probably won't last long. +1. The Harbor Freight tool worked great for me too but you gotta use a heat gun also and work fast. Installation I used threaded rod and nuts/washers to press the new ones in. You have to R&R by the book, there's procedure.   Tootal Posted on Sunday, February 07, 2010 - 12:53 pm:        +1 on installation procedure, read the book. On getting it out I used a small pry bar and forced the inner spacer down so you could see the inner race of the bearing. Using a brass bar I put it against the inner race and gave her a whack. That loosened the inner spacer and allowed me to move back a forth on that inner bearing race till I knocked it out. Using a hair dryer on the wheel is not a bad idea either. Install using some anti-seize on the wheel and pull it in with a proper tool or with the afore mentioned all thread and heavy washer trick.
