Daytona '90 front wheel bearing

Could somebody help me?

I have problem reaching the bearing from front wheel of a '90 Daytona. I
removed the brakes, disk, the big nut and I am stuck...

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated...

You need to buy a medium size 3-jaw gear puller to press the axle stub
out of the bearing hub (some people would advise a hammer and block of
wood, but I much prefer a proper gear puller - probably $20-35 at an
auto parts store - a good investment for the DIY'ers tool box). There
are bolts (probably 3) on the back side of the steering knuckle holding
the bearing and hub assembly to the steering knuckle) - remove those
bolts and carefully use a hammer and/or screwdriver to push/pry the
bearing/hub assembly out of the steering knuckle (some penetrating oil
wouldn't hurt - sometimes they're tight, sometimes they almost fall
out). Careful not to damage CV joint boots.

Use a torque wrench to the proper setting to put that big nut back on.

if you loosen the 3 bolts so they stick out a little you can carefully place a
center punch on them and smack it out with a hammer but if the bearing is bad
and the new one comes with a new hub just beat it out after removing the 3
bolts
