morgey Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Press fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patman Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 When you say press fit morgey do you mean on a machine? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Ideally you want a hydraulic press but can be hammered/persuaded in by hand Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patman Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Phewwwww that's how my mechanic done mine morgey, tapping it in with a mallet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Bad practice to hit a bearing. Use a preas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RandomDan Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the info! Yea the race can be damaged with a hammer and you could end up at square one Or at the very least with a bearing with a shorter life span!

FMuscle Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 ^^^ This. I had one last only one year, and I was pushing it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
geofreygachie Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 (edited) One year down the line I suspect I need a new front left wheel bearing ,the wheel are has some strange noise where the vehicle is in motion and currently I have even parked the vehicle till I have sometime to visit garage and have it done .The bearing was replaced December 2015.
