Hi- I seek your collective advice. I have new rotors and wheel bearings to install on the front of our '88. To get the bearings properly seated in the rotors do I really have to take them to a shop with a press? If I put a large enough socket on them and tap them down with a rubber mallet, would that get them seated properly? If doing this without a press, does heat become necessary? Thanks- You guys are great... Gary |
