How to press out rear wheel bearings

jwelch68Member

Good Afternoon,

I have all the parts to replace the rear wheel bearings while doing the Wilwood brake conversion. The original bearings are tight and probably don't need replacing but while I'm in there I may as well do it.

I've searched the forum but haven't found much on how to press these out. The inner and outer bearing IDs are the same or within a couple of thousandths, so I'm not seeing how to access the first bearing. I'm using a 20-ton press, but I see someone took theirs to a Porsche dealer and used 100T press. Is a 20-ton enough?

The front bearing races were easy to remove since you can get to one side at a time. Not sure how to access the rear sealed bearings with the press.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

John
