Strut replacement
All ready to go with a McPherson strut replacement this weekend. Got everything I need including a spring compressor. After reading over the disassemble/reassemble in Toyota Manual I notice that it recommends the bearing on the top of the strut be removed by a hydraulic press. If this is true I'll be up shits creek without a paddle with the strut removed and unable to complete the task. Can this bearing be removed at home by a garage mechanic without it becoming a major issue. I know someone will indicate (as they always do no matter what the item is) that replacing the struts isn't needed. But I got 170K on a 2007 Hatch and it's time!!
