Hi,

I’ve watched the videos.

Well it’s been a while since I did these, but since your bearing is toast – you go caveman on bearing assembly until you get it separated from the knuckle with a giant hammer. Eric’s method is to preserve the wheel bearing. So then after that you can unbolt the rotor and get that off. Next put bearing/hub in a vice and find a socket or pipe similar to the diameter (but slightly smaller) of the hub and go caveman on it again. You will need a press or vice to install your new bearing.

I agree just hit the bearing out without using the bolts however I would still place something in between the bearing and what your hitting it with just to preserve the hub, most new wheel berings won’t come with a new hub so your still going to have to swap that part over but that was covered in the wheel bearing video.
