Hi,
Both of my front hubs have too much lateral run-out which I'm now noticing when I brake hard. I verified that both the discs AND the hubs are out of tolerance so going to replace them both.

I've watched a few videos online and it looks like I'm in for some pounding (literally). Pressing out seems to be best accomplished by slamming the hub assy right out with a sledge while the spindle sits on some 2x4's or in a vice. Re-installation calls for a press but I'm wondering if I could get away with using a wheal bearing removal kit rented from my local Partsource. I did not see any videos using a slide hammer for removal. I'm guessing it's in there too tight...?

Has anyone one here done this job? if so, any tips for DIY'ing?
