Time to change a wheel bearing on the car:( Is there anyway to buy the
piece with the bearing already in so I dont have to press it in(I dont
have a press). Also will I be able to remove the bolt that holds it on
without impact wrench?? Is this a hard job? I remember an old 1984
300zx I had where it was built into the rotor and it was a piece of cake
to change out! :)Nel

Not that easy. It actually takes a pretty hefty hydraulic press with
the knuckle removed from the car.

I just removed the knuckles and took them to a shop who changed the
bearings for me while I waited.

You don't want to pay for a new knuckle, but maybe a junkyard one will work.
