    So one of my front wheel bearings took a giant crap today...new parts ordered from Kevin (nj636) which should be in by the weekend. Has anyone done this job that can offer up any tips? I do like wrenching, just don't have much experience so it should be a fun time.
    Everything he does is pre-pressed, so it should be a simple swap...I might not even have time to get through the 6-pack I've got set aside for the job! Tips/tricks?

    Never done it, but I believe @TheosTaco has. Maybe he'll chime in.

    Looking forward to hearing how it goes though! :thumbsup:

    I wouldn't mind getting my tires rebalanced. 4wp didn't do it right I have a wobble at 50 that's definitely a balance issue.

    Wheel earring isn't hard as long as it's prepressed. Take parts off put them back on.

    Here's a pic of the rack with my funboard.

    Check out Andy with Bluepitsbearings.com. He provided both of my wheel bearings. They're prepressed and make the job incredibly easy.

    Thanks for the link... I was actually watching some bluepitsbearings videos about 15 minutes ago! I'm all set with the parts through a TW member, now just trying to scrounge all my tools together by Saturday (just moved here and the entire garage got packed by the wife... Nothing makes any sense)
