[QUOTE="KMixson, post: 442323, member: 432"] If you do use the old hubs you have to remove the bearing outer races. That can be a job sometimes especially since it looks like you may have rust inside the hub. You have to remove them squarely from the hub just like the cap using a hammer and punch. Just punch around the race until it comes out. Be careful, one of the most painful job injuries I received was removing a bearing race from a hub. It was a hub from a tractor trailer truck which was a large hub. I was slinging a 12 pound sledge at the punch and missed the punch or it slipped off the punch and caught my thumb between the hammer and hub. It brought tears to my eyes. My thumb was split open on both sides. I went to the doctor and they wrapped it up with gauze and a popsicle stick. It cost me $60.00 for that popsicle stick. [/QUOTE]
