Wheel bearing races.

Do i need a special tool to install the races?If so can i rent it from autozone?I was told to use brake parts cleaner to clean old wheel bearings and some people say not to!Whats your guys opinion on this?Also do you think it makes any difference in the wheel bearing grease you use?Thank you.

Re: Wheel bearing races.

the easy way is to put the races in the freezer overnight. they will shrink and will fall in with a slight tap. when they warm they wont move. as far as cleaning brake cleaner should work fine. grease them with a good wheel bearing grease.
