Re: 1950 Car Permanently Lubricated/Sealed Bearings
I still pound a few bearings on with an old chisel that I modified with a blunt and slightly angled driving end. A person just has to be careful for the shaft. The bearings are pretty tough. A long piece of pipe might also work if it will fit over the splines. A person has to add something to the wheel lug stud end though to keep them from taking any load from the pounding. Weld a cap on the pipe to pound on. I have a few tools like that. It works surprisingly well.
