DIY for Hub Replacement front/rear

e36clubracer · 08-17-2020, 04:45 PM

Curious if anybody has a DIY for wheel hub replacements? I am looking to do either the future classic or core4motorsports F80 M3 hub conversions to take advantage of 14mm wheel studs. The front looks mostly straightforward but the rear is more of a question mark for me at least. TIA!

I did it with the hub in place following these instructions:

Rent this tool, instructions above used the same tool and it made the work very easy.

I use the Master FWD Wheel Bearing Kit from AutoZone (free rental) and a slide hammer. Time consuming, pain in the ass, not difficult.

Bumping this, in watching a diy video, it mentioned that the bearing should be pressed a certain direction because the orientation matters to the function of the speed sensor.

Can someone comment as to whether this matters with the E9x bearings? I'd hate to press them and learn that I put them in the wrong direction.
