elbpf Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Has anyone ever replaced the rear bearings without the special tool that the manual calls for? Not able to figure it out yet. If not has anyone been able to locate the tool for purchase or rent? I tried to post a picture in here but having some trouble with that also. Any help info on this would be awesome, thanks!

SkiBumBrian Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Just went through this when that lady T-boned me. The bearing has to be pulled and pressed on with great force. Take the axle and everything to a machine shop and have them disassemble and press everything together, believe me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbpf Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 Awesome, thanks. Do you remember about how much it cost. I'm sure it's different at every shop, but just to get an idea. Sorry to read you got t-boned, that stinks! Hope everyone is alright! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkiBumBrian Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Hit me right in the ol' 33x12.50s. Very minor body damage, skinned up a Lego wheel ( I had more) and bent the axle. Her Suzuki Vitara did not fare so well. I think it was about 90 bucks, well worth the money since I would have never been able to do it in the garage.
