Wheel bearing day = long, x2 expensive, tetanus?

[biggreen96]

Day started good, woke up ~10am when USPS lady drops a package at the door. It's the bearing and seals I ordered only 2 days ago and wasn't expecting for a while.

Went to Schucks and rented the hub puller and bearing puller and got to work. Snag 1: Didn't get the slide hub remover, and the one I rented wasn't cutting it. I decided I would just take the hub to shop and have them press it out. Snag 2: that piece of shit abs sensor was not coming out of the hub. I'm glad it still works cause I beat that thing retarded getting it out.

Snag 3: How can getting a bearing pressed in and out cost 86.70??!!
I thought I was getting a seriously bad deal, I worked at a Ford dealership and used the press to do my own last winter and didn't take me long. Ugh.
I cut my self on my rusty fender too. sweet.

On a high note I laid my deposit down for a track day at Miller motorsports park in salt lake.

I went to the junkyard and got a spare hub and just replaced the whole piece. Cost 10 dollars.

It wasn't as bad as mine.

Had a coworker press a new bearing into the knuckle, and he forgot one of the seals. 6 months later, I'm replacing the bearing ($35), the seals ($10) and the hub assembly ($140).

Needless to say, I pressed my bearing in myself the second time.

I just realized that they didn't replace the outboard seal on mine, since it was still in the bag I took the hub to them in. they managed the inboard two seals though, retards.

wheel bearings scare me...

.....it seems like every 5th one you do it goes smoothly...without something being messed up.....

.....pressing something round...... yeah scares me
