thanks for the advice and illustrations. Initially a friend was going to help me do it but he said he needed to borrow a press. Now i know what a press looks like and i wouldn't want him to struggle too much with it. All in all, i think i'll just go to the mechanic and get it done.
oh yeah, i bought a hub bearing. it cost me $68 canadian with tax. = around 40's usd. It was from Ford. Is there cheaper? just so i know in the future?
