Hub Bearing Unit Replacement
1. Raise the rear of the vehicle, and make sure it is securely supported.





2. Remove the wheel nuts (A) and rear wheel (B).





3. Remove the brake hose mounting bolt (A), caliper bracket mounting flange bolts (B), and remove the caliper assembly (C) from the knuckle. To prevent damage the caliper assembly or brake hose, use a short piece of wire to hang the caliper assembly from the undercarriage. Do not twist the brake hose with force.





4. Remove the hub cap (A), raise the stake (B), and remove the spindle nut (C).





5. Remove the 6 mm brake disc/drum retaining flat screws (A).
6. Screw two 8 x 1.25 mm bolts (B) into the disc/drum to push it away from the hub. Turn each bolt two turns at a time to prevent cocking the disc/drum excessively.





7. Remove the hub bearing unit (A) from the knuckle.
8. Install the hub bearing unit in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
^ Wash the bearing and spindle thoroughly in high flash point solvent before reassembly.
^ Use a new spindle nut on reassembly. Before installing the new spindle nut, apply small amount of engine oil to the seating surface of the nut. After tightening, use a drift to stake the spindle nut shoulder against the spindle.
^ Tighten all mounting hardware to the specified torque values.
^ Before installing the brake disc/drum, clean the mating surface of the hub and the inside of the brake disc/drum.
^ Use a new hub cap on reassembly.
^ Before installing the wheel, clean the mating surface of the brake disc/drum and the inside of the wheel.
