Default New rear wheel bearing in, now listening to the sweet sound of silence!

After trying to press the old bearing out in the wrong direction (duh). Job took about 1.5 hrs with a hub tamer. Stupid vise broke trying to press bearing out. I had the bearing housing in it trying to crank the hub tamer the wrong way with a 24 inch wrench. All that torque snapped the vise off at the swivel part. Thats the second one I broke! If your tools can't take some abuse, chuck em!
