[QUOTE="Lowcountry Joe, post: 1272597, member: 14645"] If an installer beats a new bearing into place, he is screwing-up. The tolerances inside these bearings are very close. There is not much room between the balls and the race. Beating and banging compromises ball/race tolerances and will result in premature bearing failure. Always better to use the correct tools for the job. Shortcuts on wheel bearing replacement is not a good idea. And for goodness sake, use ample amounts of assembly lube. [/QUOTE]
