Need to figure out an easy way to remove the front wheel bearings the manual shows some kind of special tool
any suggestions since I dont have it?

[Chad]

HMMMMMM might have to invest in a bearing puller! Here is a good video on doing bearing removal!

I took my front wheel up to the stealer, they used their special bearing puller to remove mine and pressed my new ones in that I purchased from DLP for a wopping $20.00

For me it was worth it to see what the puller looked like so I can make my own someday.

You don't have to but can be a good time to do some polishing on the rim while it is off if you take the discs off.

Anyone know where I can get one of those bearing puller sets at Locally

Check at Northern Tool in Garland. It is on I-30 to the Right of Kroger Food in the shopping center!  Left hand side going west! Across from the Walmart Super Center!

Actually I did pull the disc's off, and why yes I did polish my front rim, excellent time to do it.

One day I'm probably going to do the full polish job and remove the pitting and machining marks.

I may just wait until it gets a little colder?

dealer charged me 48.00 to swap the tires I took the wheel in I guess its not to bad but what does bug me is they used them tape on weights to balance it is that normal?
I plan on putting it all back together tonight if I can get the wheel bearings changed out. *don't really need to but since its apart figured I would replace them*

[Chad]

 Yes the taped weights is what they use. I would think $48 isn't too bad for both tires.
