removing hub bearing with hydraulic press
I am in the process of replacing my growling front right hub bearing on my S13. I have a new bearing from Nissan and the 30mm socket to remove the hub. I am deciding whether or not to buy a 12 ton press from harbor freight (I like accumulating tools anyway) or last resort take it to a shop.
Assuming you use a hydraulic press, what am I going place between the ram tip and the old bearing? A VERY large socket? Does it matter what part of the bearing it rests on?
To press in the new bearing, I assume I can use the old bearing and some thick plate placed over the old bearing.
I searched Zilvia and googled and haven't found specifics on how this is done? Or is there some jawed puller that would work to remove the hub bearing?
