Default Wheel bearing press

Can anyone recommend a machine shop or general shop that can press out my wheel bearings from the knuckle and hub and press on new bearings?

They are off the car or about to be.

Thanks in advance

George

I had one done at my local Sears. Very quick and easy job with the right equipment. I was there for about 15 minutes total.

Good luck.

But thanks I will check with them.

I thought the same thing, and that's why I asked to watch them do the work. I just acted like I had never seen a hydraulic press before and that's why I wanted to watch.

Although I'm sure there are many other options out there if you're not comfortable with Sears.

Goerge,
I think you are making this more than it should be. Almost any shop should be able to press in a bearing. I could train my next dorr neighbors cat to operate a machine press.


You have had your car aligned at that fancy Porsche shop, just bring them the hub and have them press the new bearings in, it should take all of 5 minutes.
