Default Wheel Bearings: will be doing an R&R this weekend, does...

anyone have pointers?

Does the Lisle 12980 help (bearing driver set)?

Does the bearing come apart when the hub is removed from teh wheel bearing housing? (Bentley talks about the inner race requiring removal using a gear separator, ie. Kukko 15-17) Chilton seems to indicate that the bearing remains a single unit as in most other cases with other vehicles.

yes the bearing will come apart(9 out of 10 times) when you pull the hub.

yes the bearing driver set helps, but the best way is with a press, and with someone who's done it before.

make sure the new bearing goes in the right way =)

Default Is the bearing/gear separator a must to get the inner race off or...

were you able to remove it with a gear puller or something else?

Thx in advance.
