Noice.
Curious if the discs/cylinders you use throughout are just something you already had in your shop collection or are they available somewhere? They look like the exact tool for the job. Again, very very nice work.

You will be a hero if there are a nice set of stratus in Cactus when she comes back from the EC
Silver leather or black with Silver inserts and enough material to modify rear seats with the silver insert

Well....I think I might have tricked you in my photos...
It's pretty strong - I had no concerns...
I rotated the hub between the two photos below. Notice on the top photo that along the right side there is a recessed section of the hub where the race hangs over. So when I went to hit it, that looked like a good spot to be able to hit the race at an angle with more force in the direction of removal. So, I rotated the hub upwards so I could get a better angle on it.

The only part that is marred is that little tiny shiny section on the right:

I did press out the hub first, then the rest of the bearing. (?)
but that side of the bearing is tighter to the hub than it is to the rest of the bearing, so near impossible for the hub to come out without half of the bearing.
