wheel bearing woes

[jdbubb@ix.netcom.com (Dan Bubb)]

You can rent a tool to do this from www.Germanautoparts.com or
www.rapidparts.com for about $25. (although the deposit is $200)
I've pounded a lot of bearings out in my time and the front wheel
bearing are going to take alot of pounding, so either rent the tool
(which is painless and quick to use) or get a decent setup so you don't
pound the shit out of your hubs and carriers.
