Thanks

If you are putting new bearing in, I welded a nut to the old bearing to give me a lip to pound them out. Dealer wanted $60 to remove old bearing.

Cover it with a old floor mat. I made a small hole where the bearing was. That was a worry of mine too.

Why would you spend $40 on a tool that only gets the bearings out and you didn't mention getting them back in which takes another set of tools, when your local indy will do it for $20 usually.

Old bearing, hammer free install.
Use the old bearing to press [ or pound in] the new bearing.
If you want to get crazy, put the new bearing in the freezer. It will help shrink to bearing for a easier install.

Tell me where. I paid 25 to get a set removed. There is a lack of Indy in my area. I'll press them back in myself.
