Wheel Bearings - JPolen01 - 10-31-2011

Looks like I am finally going to swap the extended studs onto the front of my car this week. Rears were simple and done in about 15 minutes per side. Pull the drum open, take off the spindle nut, remove piece that holds studs (spindle?), pound studs out, pop new ones in, tighten stud with washer and socket combo until it was seated. However, the fronts require the hubs to come apart and bearings out. As Justin recommended, I will probably replace the wheel bearings at the same time. Can anyone recommend a decent place in Harrisonburg to get the new bearings pressed in? Or does anyone local have a press and be willing to do this?

No one knows anything?

I mean carquest will do it. My dad has a press in his shop on the north end of town, but that'd be a DIY job for you.

Never even heard of carquest before. Thanks for the suggestion. Would love to do it myself but I has no idea how to do it/operate said press.
