Help rebuilding the front rotors please.
I want to replace the bearings in the front rotors but I cant figure out how to get the rear bearing out. Anyone have the necessary steps to doing this job correctly, and a list of the parts I will need.
Thanks in advance -Marc

I agree, you need to replace the bearing anyway. I usually do noon, 6, 3, 9 ontil it pops out.

Top center, bottom center, right center and left center-like where 12, 6, 3 and 9 would be on a clock face. That is where you would strike the inner race to knock it out.

Re: Help rebuilding the front rotors please.
you have to remove the seal that is in the rotor. take a flat blade screwdriver and work out the seal. that is what is holding the bearing in. i usually lay something across the rotor as a pry spot and work it around until it pops out. if you are trying to save things that is. if not grab a punch and a bfh.
