Front bearing tool

[Rabbit16v@attbi.com (Rabbit16v)]

Just go get a press at harbor freight for $150.  You can use it for a LOT
more than just wheel bearings and pulling the whole strut out is like what,
2 nuts?  I don't mess with the strut anyway, just pull out the knuckle assy
which is 1 tie rod nut, two strut bolts, 1 axle nut 2 caliper bolts and a
lower ball joint bolt.  Oh, and 4 wheel lugs.  I haven't tried it but I
think I can do it blind folded.
