Default Front Wheel bearings

Default Pressed in/out with a very special tool. I replaced mine when I replaced....

all the control arms and I had the entire upright out of the vehicle. Took it to a machine shop and had them pressed in.

Sorry but who are you? I may have the special tool but it cost me $400 so I'd like to know.

I bought a "hub tamer" which does the job on the car. I could rent it but it weighs about 35 lbs.
