Has anyone every changed them? Will I need a special tool to press the old bearing out?

The wheel bearings in my Yz build are shot. I just ordered a new set along with the press tool. You are more then welcome to borrow it when i am done.....

Seems like I heard somewhere if you put the bearings in the freeze overnight they will drop right in. Never changed any wheelbearings myself, tho...

I just use a punch/drift to knock the old ones out. Can't hurt them. Then I find a socket the size of the outer race and "carefully" drive the new ones in. Done the FZ and the KLR recently. And like Chappy said, it doesn't hurt to cool the new ones first.
