Best Answer

New front wheel bearings must be pressed onto hubs by mechanic with proper tools. Bearings are sealed units and cannot be repacked with grease. Replace worn bearings ASAP or they will damage hubs, you'll save bunches of money.

ANS 2 -Most modern wheel bearings are fitted in a 'carrier' that bolts onto the knuckle. This avoids having you service the bearing, and in fact most garages use this system now. I haven't seen a mechanic press a bearing on in 10 years unless it was an old or unusual vehicle. In fact I seriously doubt that mechanics graduating now would know how to press a bearing on.
