USEFUL TIP: To replace the bearing, it is convenient to use a hub bearing press-in/press-out tool.
1. Remove the steering knuckle, see. "Removal and installation the front suspension steering knuckle").
2. Remove the bearing retaining ring.
3. Press the hub out of the inner bearing ring using a press, using a mandrel of the appropriate diameter (for example, a socket head).
4. Most likely, the outer half of the inner bearing race will remain on the hub. Use a puller to remove it from the hub.
5. Install the bearing puller, press and remove the outer bearing race from the knuckle.
6. If you do not have a puller, knock out the bearing using a mandrel of a suitable diameter, since the pressed out bearing cannot be reused.
7. After cleaning the parts, lubricate the inner surface of the knuckle seat and the outer surface of the hub with a thin layer of consistent grease.
8. Press the new bearing into the steering knuckle housing until it stops.
CAUTION: When pressing the bearing into the steering knuckle housing, apply force only to the outer race of the bearing, otherwise damage to the bearing may occur.
9. Install the retaining ring into the groove of the knuckle socket. Make sure that the ends of the retaining ring do not block the hole for installing the wheel speed sensor.
10. Press the hub into the bearing until it stops, securing the inner bearing ring with a support.
CAUTION: If the inner bearing race is not supported by a support when pressing the hub, it may be damaged.
11. Install the steering knuckle in the reverse order of removal.
12. Check and, if necessary, adjust the wheel alignment angles. Use the services of workshops with special equipment.
