I am replacing all of the hub extensions due to wear of the splines. I had intended to reuse the bearings on the front hubs. However, I am finding it difficult to get the bearing races out, /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif since they are an interference fit. The shop manual says to punch them out with a drift. Since there is very little "lip" to drive against, it looks like the races will be pretty well destroyed if I can get them out at all. So I will have to get new bearings. My questiion is, how to get the new races in. I'm thinking that I might heat the hub to expand it and chill the races to contract them and drive them in. If anyone has done this I would welcome advice.
