Subject:      Frt rotors / wheel bearings.  How to?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

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
