Question do you know of any tricks to removing a stuck front wheel drive wheel bearing without taking the CV joint of and hitting it from behind?
ps: i dont have a torch
Answer The wheel bearing is pressed into the knuckle the hub is pressed into the bearing. The cv joint goes through the hub. The joint needs to be removed. So remove the shaft press out the hub and remove the knuckle. Then press out the bearing. You need a press or a on the car wheel bearing tool. Do not use a hammer.
