Someone walk me through the procedure to change the two front wheel bearings on an 06 R1200GSA. I have a slide hammer will several sizes of internal expanding pullers, but they're from China and cheapo. Might, might not fit or grip. Do I heat the hub first? Heat gun hot enuff? Torch better?
What kinda puller do I need to get the old ones out?
Put the new ones in the freezer first?
How to install? Use a press, i.e. bottle jack and 2x4 braced against a basement floor joist? Use old bearing to push in new bearing? Is it safe to use a hammer and the old bearing to drive in the new one, or is a press required? Heat the hub first?
What else am I missing? What can I screw up?
