Help Replacing Rear Wheel Hub

Hey all, I need to replace the drivers side rear wheel hub. I looked and can't find a preloaded axle for my 2019 . I know I will need a press and the special install tools. Has anyone done this and have tips to make it easier?

 

There’s no “easy way” to do it. There’s only one way.

 

Ok, I am assuming you mean using a press and the right tools. Do you have a preferred set of press adapters that work better?

 

I just removed my entire axle/ bearing assembly and took the whole think to my local machine shop. They removed and I stalled the new bearings.

I only needed the right side done, but did both since they removed so easy.

Paid $800 for both.

 

This video has it in details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DEeNLbFuRc He used an oxy-acetylene torch to partially cut through the bearing race. When time comes, I hope my small plasma cutter will do it.

 

Thanks for the tips gang, I had seen the video with the torch but it makes me nervous about damaging the axle. I called several shops in the area and none of them will do it without the press adapters. I have a 20 ton press so I am going to buy the adapters and give it a shot

 

I've done bearing races with Dremel, too.

 

You can cut through the race with a cutting wheel on a dremel or grinder.

 

I'd buy one of these and a harbor freight press.

Edit- or remove them and take them to a competent shop for the press work.

 

This is what I use. And when the outer race gets stuck on, I slice it with an angle grinder, then use a chisel n hammer to crack it

 

He also has a inner race tool.

 

never noticed that.
