Front Wheel Bearings: A step by step pictorial
Ok, This is part I which includes the process of removing the break caliper out off the way, detach the hub from the brake disk and remove the bearings with their racers. Part II (When I get to it) will show how to pack the bearings with grease, how to slip in the bearing racers and finally how to assemble the whole thing with new brake components.

Racers
Ok, time to hammer in the racer. Notice I saved the old racer to take the hammer blow
while pushing the new ones in place. I will also be using grease that I use on my RX7 which is way better than most.

Final Assembly
All I have left after this is to put new pads but to my horror I discovered that I had the wrong ones which came with the car in a box... Now I have to run to the dealership and get a set otherwise if I had more time I would have ordered them from Germanstar.
