Now you have to put everything back together. It is very tricky and you have to do it in the right order or you will end up in a mess.

First we put the outer bearing on the hub and rotor assembly. Then we put the upright back on the hub as far as it will go. Then you need to have a special tube pressing tool (like the one we have shown here) that will push on the RACE of the inner bearing. Press down on the race of the inner bearing until everything stops and then HOLD the press down. While you are doing this, you MUST move the upright back and forth on the bearings to make sure nothing gets caught or binds up.
