Kboggs, please note that you have to install the wheel bearings with the magnetic side on the inside (ABS), as I learned that lesson the hard way..

Shoot man.. just pull both of the knuckles and take them to a machine shop they'll press them in and you don't have to worry about un-professional results. Can't possibly cost that much.

I pressed the fronts in myself with my father in laws press, but not sure if I want to pull the spindles if they are both fine? Thinking about waiting till I have to or when I do a suspension refresh.

Hello Kboggs,

With the SIR tool kindly offered by BFeller, you will Not require to remove entire hub (or use the slide hammer..)

I had to use the slide hammer to avoid removing the hub and risking damage to the rubber boots as you mention.

Good luck!
