You have to disassemble them. the inner race is split, lay the bearing on the side a bench, insert a screwdriver into the space between the two halves of the race, give it a light hit so it moves the races apart, then pry gently. Try not to break the plastic thing that holds them together, and pull the races out. You're likely to be impressed by low quality and a small amount of grease. Clean it out and out in good stuff.


Thanks. This is probably documented in the owner's manual, which I assume is in the glove box, which I still haven't found. :D


Out of curiosity, has anyone tried the "hot hub / cold bearing" method of installing these? I recall doing this with an old Porsche. Heat expanded the receiving unit, and cold shrunk the inserting unit.
