so i just got allthe new bearings in the hub...got the seals in. BUT...when i startputting everything back on the outer seal keeps popping out. and when i started tearing everything down, the outer bearing was the bad one. the seal wasnt even there from when ihad a shop do them.

 

so what im asking is, what can i do to keep that bearing from slipping out, cause if i put everything back together. its jus going to slip out and im going to lose another seal and eventually a bearing ..

 

PLEASE help... need to get done today

yes, the shop that i had do the bearings JUST 2 MONTHS AGO, DIDNT even put the outer seals on either side!!! so im going to have to go talk to the shop and get some of my money back. cause that is just rediculous! how do you miss such a thing?

I'm trying to do my bearings, how did you get the strut separated from the knuckle ?

 

I'm having no success after spreading the strut/knuckle compression slit, the strut is still locked in.

 

Instructions only say:

 

Separate knuckle from strut by pushing knuckle down. On

Loyale, without damaging CV joint boot, carefully use a screwdriver to

spread knuckle if necessary. DO NOT spread housing slit more than .

16"(4 mm). Remove upper strut retaining nuts. On all models, remove

strut from vehicle.

 

Bolts are out and simply spreading the knuckle compression slit apart isn't getting the job done
