unfortunately, the tool i'll be using only uses one bolt, a nut, a metal bushing, and a metal cup that is placed behind the knuckle.
i need some other way to remove the hub.
The bearing tool comes w/2 bolts. Fits the lug bolt holes
> in the hub. Put them opposite sides of hub, so they bottom
> on the steering knuckle. Remove disc brake shield if
> possible. 1/2-1 turn each bolt, then go to the other. will
> eventually pull the hub out of the old bearing.
>
> I always use a new hub, seems when the bearing fails it
> damages the surface of the hub most times.
>
> Take both circlips outta the front/back side of bearing.
> Take the pusher washer that is same size as new bearing, put
> on back side of old bearing(in knuckle), then assemble
> bearing tool throughsteering knuckle(and old bearing). Will
> need a 1 1/16" box end wrench to hold big nut on back side
> of bearing tool.
>
> Tighten front side of bearing tool and it will pull old
> bearing out.
>
> Install new circlip on outside groove of knuckle for new
> bearing to bottom out on.
>
> Install new bearing
>
> Put hub on bearing tool, insert into knuckle through new
> bearing, install washer and nut, tighten as you did when
> installing bearing, it will pull the hub into place.

> Happiness! New (silent) bearing :) Just did this! :))
