My wife jut gave me some oreo's and a glass of milk. Does that count?

So, if I had gotten it first, your wife would have brought me milk and cookies??

All the rear wheel bearings I have bought have come as a set - 1 bearing and 1 retainer.

I cut them at an angle almost through with a 4-1/2" cutoff wheel in a grinder. Then crack it with a cold chisel.

It will slide off easily then.

Installing I heat it up in the oven, best to have the cook on an errand. Drop it on and quickly use a long pipe to smack the inner race home.

Thats how we did C130 wheel races. So the bearing doesn't get pressed just the ring. The first one to my house gets a cold beer.
