Am doing the front brakes and bearings on the 95 project in the next week or two. I could see the pads were low, also been sitting for a year+, when it finally moved, found it had a frozen caliper. So I'm doing it all, pads, rotors, caliper, and while at it, have decided to replace the front bearings/race. Never done it before, seems straight forward, using a hammer and punch, slowing work the edge of the race until it pops out. Then use the race installer to again pop into place with a few good whacks. Any tips on removing/installing the bearing races'?

Yeah, it is straight forward. Did my 94's in August. I used a hammer and the female end of a 3/8 drive extension to remove the races, using the 4 notches in the hub behind each race to tap them out evenly a little at a time.
I put the new races in the freezer overnight and used the old races flipped over to install the new ones.
Here's a link to a blog that documents the entire process excellently with videos.
