Default Wheel Bearing Replacement - 66'

Is this something that can be done without a press or any other specialty tools?

front or rear? Fronts no press or specialty tools needed.

Rears need a press.

Depends if the races are scored, on the front a drift will usually work. The AutoZone tool usually works for me rear.

Thanks guys. I'm going to do front and rear. What exactly is the tool from autozone? How difficult of a job is this? Out of all the things I've fixed on cars I've never had to do this.

i usually use a punch to get races out of hubs then autozone has the bearing drivers you can use. last time i had to replace bearings on my bike i took the wheel inside and did it in the AC in their store lol
