[s-cars] Speaking of helicoils

[Peter Schulz]

Lee:

You will have to replace the wheel bearing too.

On the car you can probably do it with a hub shark.
Off the car - you have to remove the wheel hub assembly, press the 
bearing/hub out of the hub assembly, press the new hub onto the new bearing 
and press the hub/bearing into the hub assembly
