    Default Need a wheel bearing pulled/pressed in.

    I would really like to drop the control-arm and spindle as one, so I do not have to seperate the balljoint (and thus, tear the boot) I put in not long ago. Is it pretty simple for a machine shop to do? The spindle (MacPherson setup) is about the size of a typical brake rotor and the control-arm is about 18 inches long (Y-shaped of course) and maybe 10-12 inches wide, 2 inches thick.

    Put the spindle in the freezer for a few hours then put the bering in the oven for a little while. A little force and wala no press needed.

    I will certainly try to do it on my own, just didn't quite know the space requirements for a press.
