Wheel Hub: Service and Repair

Wheel Bearing and Wheel Hub









Removal and Installation

NOTICE: Suspension fasteners are critical parts because they affect performance of vital components and systems and their failure may result in major service expense. New parts must be installed with the same part numbers or equivalent part, if replacement is necessary. Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified during reassembly to make sure of correct retention of these parts.

1. Remove the wheel and tire. For additional information, refer to Wheels and Tires Removal and Replacement.

2. NOTICE: Do not allow the caliper and anchor plate to hang from the brake hose or damage to the hose may occur.

Remove the bolts and position the caliper and anchor plate assembly aside.

- Support the caliper and anchor plate assembly using mechanic's wire.

- To install, tighten to 160 Nm (118 lb-ft).

3. Remove the brake disc.

4. Peel back the rubber splash shield and disconnect the wheel speed sensor electrical connector.

5. Remove and discard the bolts and the wheel bearing and wheel hub.
- To install, tighten the new bolts to 120 Nm (89 lb-ft).

6. NOTICE: To avoid sensor or wiring damage, be sure to correctly route the wheel speed sensor wiring in front of the stabilizer bar link.

NOTE: During reassembly, verify that the wheel speed sensor electrical connector is fully seated with an audible click, and that the rubber splash shield is positioned back into place.

To install, reverse the removal procedure.
