    Default Need Bearings Pressed In...

    Any shops local to the Atlanta or Marietta that can press a pair of wheel bearings into a 98 Civic Coupe at a reasonable price?


    THX for the help.

    Wheel bearings can be pushed in without a press. Just a big ass hammer and a flat piece of metal to evenly distribute the force will do fine. Done it many times.

    Try putting the bearing in the freezer for a while. It should drop right in after that.

    I plan on taking the hub assembly off and taking it to a shop. I just need someone who can do it.
