Yea i got the hole assembly off and its just help by a clip. There is so much play in it omg I could have wrecked if I didnt do anything sooner.

It can be VERY difficult to get the bearing out of the knuckle, once you have removed the knuckle from the car. On the other hand, it may just tap out.

On one of my contours, I destroyed the bearing trying to pound it out, leaving only the outer race attached to the knuckle. I then tried both a hydralic press and an acetylene torch with no luck. Finally, I welded a bead around the inner race, causing it to cool and shrink. It just fell out then.

althought the bearing is pressed in there is a retaining clip. the early cars have one on both sides of the bearing and the later cars only have one.

Clip.

Clip.

Even once the clip(s) are removed, you will need press out the old one.
Pressing the new one in is a MUST. the tolerances are too tight to pound the crap out of it.

Yes but the bearings aren't held in my them.
