When I did it on my 82 I used wheel bearing grease and the black plastic pilot tool. Just shove the wheel bearing grease in there and tap the back of the pilot tool with your hand. Same thing, if you dont want to peice together that socket setup.

Righteous! Never thought of wet paper...always went with a pulley, or grease, or a combo of both. Thanks for taking the time to make a video, I'm sure alot of vets & newbs will appreciate it!

Worked great TWICE. I was driving in the new bearing and when I hit the bearing with a block of soft pine, it smashed the dust cover... $10 mistake
