HELP!! Bearings....

[subi dude]

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 ..

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
