um,is it a skateboard? why don't you just take it to a shop, and let them do it, and then you can just go ahead and buy new bearings or replace them while your at it!

I was just told the same thing not more than 15 minutes ago for my 88 Reliant! I will investigate and get back to you.

an 86 Aries is a car not a skateboard and the bearings can be replaced by using a bearing puller or slide hammer to remove the outer bearing race, then the inner race can be removed by using a drift and a hammer. if you have a double race of bearings, just repeat the process.

well, i thought that these bearings would be the same as my 84 caravan 2.2 both inner and outer bearings are sealed, and must be pressed out , and new in. sometimes the whole hub must be replaced. also check inner tierod ends for slop. for the age of the vehicles, at least replace driver side inner tierod end. these usually go first.

Don't ever try to force them out with a screwdriver. It will ruin them and you will be screwed.
