First you take off the wheel, then press the brakes until the caliper holds the rotor in place from not moving the axle, next you take off the NUT, then u take off the CALIPER completely, then you take off the rotor, then u take off the hub by using this special tool (pics), then u have to take off the links/arms to take the REAR KNUCKLE off, and PRESS THE BEARING OUT!
Well remember when IZZY crashed against the 6? Well a month before that he tried to show off drifting and clipped a sidewalk somewhat and so he had to replace one of the lower arms, and an endlink, and the HUB+Bearing had to be special ordered, so everything was replaced except HUB+ROTOR, so last night is when he was IM'ing me that he wanted to get it done before SEVENSTOCK, the bearing was making a CLICK CLICK CLICK noise , very little but enough to notice. SO it was suggested that the bearing be replaced. Also...When jacked up the wheel has a tad wobbly, barely even noticeable, so it was suggest that the Hub also be replaced. SO how i was saying, IZZZY wanted to get it done before the CARAVAN to SS and he came over at 8 a.m.
We
1. worked on his car until we realized we needed a Press capable of 3500lbs,
2. while the buddies shop was taking the bearing off the KNUCKLE we,
3. Re- wired my underglows (so I can show up at SS caravan u know)
4. Shipped out my double din- (PIONEER)
5. Washed my car.
6. Put his car back together. And uh we are now finish getting ready to go to a HUGE LOCAL MEET over here that starts at 9pm at SONICS-
7.
RENNY didnt know what a KNUCKLE was....I thought he had the MANUAL 
8. Will post some pics from the TOMORROW DIY- but ill post some for now...
That really wasnt funny
, because it wasnt even for my car it was for IZZY's
