Default Tirick for removing Front wheel bearings

A good friend of mine just recently told me how to remove my front wheel bearing assembly on my 2005 Dodge Ram diesel which worked like a dream. Remove front brake rotor and replace with damaged one. Bolt back on the front brake caliper bracket, now use chisels between the caliper bracket and the rotor to remove front knuckle assembly. This worked like a dream to separate the wheel bearing assembly from the knuckle. Hopefully others find this helpful.

another good one is too take the bearing mounting bolts out, screw one of them back in about 1/4 of the way and use a socket and extention from the bolt up against the axle housing and use the steering as a press to push out the bearing out
