Geo Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 As above, Anyone done this, and any special tools needed? Watched a few youtube vids, and looks easy enough, but wanted to know if the supra is different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTurtleshead Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Hammer You will have to drill a hole in the backplate if you're fitting ARP's. As they are too long to go in without removing it or hole-ing it! If you don't need the extra length of the ARP's then get them turned down on a lathe and you will be able to pop 'em in without drill-age.

Chris Wilson Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 NO NO, do NOT hammer them out, it bruises the hub bearings and you will probably have hub bearing noise / failure later. They should be pressed out, and pulled or pressed back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I used a collection of hub pressing / removal tools to get them out, not too bad a job once you get going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I push them out wit a converted ball joint splitter, and pull them in with a plain full depth nut on top of a Torrington bearing, using moly grease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
