My trigger wheels are due in tomorrow - Thanks again Billy and Michan,
However, to install them, I've got to press the hubs out, put the wheels on, press them back in. Historically everytime I've needed to press one of those bad rides out, it's been to replace wheel bearings. So when the bearings seperate, it's not a big deal. However, the bearings I have in there now have like 10k on them, are in great shape and I really don't feel like spending $200 on bearings if I don't have to. So, anyone have any tips on pressing that bitch out and keeping the bearings intact?

If you are worried about damaging the bearings, hit me up. I can get you some for insanely cheap :D

Really? what can you get me an RX8 shift knob for?

I'll let you know if I FUBAR them tomorrow or sunday. I'm hoping that being a year lubed up nicey nice they slide out in one piece

If you want a shift knob, I suggest calling Tommy at www.partsgroup.com (256) 309-0492

He hooked me up with one for my RX-8 since it was pretty ratty. I cannot get things like that.

Let me know about the bearings!
