Hyundai Repair: 1996 Accent Wheel bearings, front wheel bearings, hub puller


Question
How do you remove front wheel bearings. Once they are out, do the new ones need to be pressed or can they be pushed in manually.

Answer
You can replace the bearings manually on this vehicle.  You will, however, need a slide hammer or hub puller to remove the wheel hub.  You'll also need to replace the outer bearing races and both bearing seals.  You can remove the outer races using a hammer and punch, but you'll need a bearing race installer to install the new races.
