I'll need to do my driverside front soon. Should be lots of fun.

How did you go about that? Remove the spindle and have a machine shop do the bearing?

Default Removed the upright/knuckle, whatever you want to call it, and took it to a machine shop that
my FLAPS recommended. It cost $45, but I think I am going to buy a 12T press and press out the rears myself.
