i agree that you should get a machine shop to do it with a press. It doesnt do the wheel bearing any good by hammering it in. its not built for lateral impacts.

But I love my hammer!

Wow! I brought my car to the shop to have the suspension work done. I bought all the parts on my own. They quoted me $1200 labor for all the control arms, struts, sway bar bushings, drop links, all that stuff. Seemed fair given the amount of laziness I have been experiencing lately.

I forgot to mention the wheel bearings to them. When I brought that up, they told me that would cost an additional $1300. I was on the phone with the girl behind the counter, so I felt like explaining to her how insane that was when they will have the carriers already off the vehicle, would not have done anybody any justice.

Obviously, I told them hell no, but now I'll have that worry in the back of my head and fixing all this stuff was supposed to alleviate that.

Just venting.
