1G No press 1G AWD rear wheel bearing replacment

[GreenGSX]

After we got back from One Lap this year the rear wheel bearings in the VR4 failed hard. The drivers side rear bearing was so bad it made the car wiggle on the expressway. Turns out after inspection that the bearing spun on the stub shaft. So while I was replacing the stub shafts and bearings I used my cell phone to take some pictures and I put together a little how-to procedure on our website which is why I didn't put this post in the how-to section. There are a lot of different ways to skin this cat but I use a really old school method that does not need a press or jaw-style puller. You can read all about it in the link below.

I went and read your How to, good write up!!

I have been changing bearings for 20 years in FWD hubs, RWD axles and it is the same procedure I use to remove races. But I have a press for the install of the new bearing.
