I'm going to replace all the bearings on my S4 TII while it's apart right now. Should i buy the bearing tools from mazdatrix and do it myself or have a local machine shop install them? I am wondering if they will damage the bearings if they don't have the proper tool to install them.. What do you think i should do? Thanks

 

You talking about rotor bearings or Wheel bearings???

Rotor Bearings, you'd better have a press..

Front Wheel bearings, getting them out doesn't require a press (but it does require a dremel too to grind out behind the races in order to pound them out..)

The Rear wheel bearings.. You need a press.

 

Engine bearings..

 

A local auto machine shop should do just fine. Then again it's always nice to own your own tools.

 

Yah I orderd all the engine bearings and the tools for each today. I figure I can do a few sets for people and pay for my tool..

 

Cool. I made my bearing adapters. One out of a trailer hitch ball and the other out of a front pulley hub of a RX-7.

 

That's cool. easy to get them out?
