front Wheel bearing replacment help

[y-townxj]

I went to take the old inner wheel bearing off and it would'nt come, so I cut it off with a, cut off wheel, making sure not to hit the spindle. My question is, does the new wheel bearing need pressed on with a pipe or somthing, or should they just slide on and off ? Could the spindle need replaced ?

the inner wheel bearing should come out with the rotor, it is held in buy a seal that you put on after the inner is in, but no you dont need to press it in ,just make sure the spindle isnt scared up or damaged.the new bearing should be a nice fit and if it isnt i would maybe replace it.

If you're in the rust belt the inner bearings tend to rust to the spindle, just clean it up before you put the new one on there.
