When pressing the New bearing back in i ran into a problem, i was using Big Ass Sockets to press the stuff out and i wasnt worried about messing anything up. When putting the bearing back in i only had a huge thick socet and that would have put alot of pressure on the inner race (it sits above the outter race a little bit) so i took the old outter race, ground it down a bit and used that to push the new bearing down and seat it on the Snap Ring. Worked like a champ!
Well On saturday i helped a friend swap Engines in a early 90s Civic...we pulled a 1.5L out and put a 1.6 in. 12 hours start to finish and that also included swapping the Auto Box from the old engine to the new 1.6 engine...fun stuff. Anyway on Sunday I started on my Left Wheel bearing, the hub came off fine and we got the old stuff pressed out in no time. Once you have this all out it makes so much sense! Going back together was a breeze as well. Having a Hydraulic Press at your disposal makes things very easy, just make sure everything is level. This is what i found when i got the old bearing, inner race, and outter race out!!
