To remove the hub and bearing assembly, start by applying the parking brake and blocking the rear wheels. Remove the hubcap or wheel cover and loosen the driveaxle/hub nut. Loosen the wheel lug nuts, raise the front of the vehicle, and support it securely on jackstands. Remove the wheel and the brake caliper, and hang it out of the way with wire. Disconnect the ABS speed sensor electrical connector. Remove the driveaxle/hub nut by inserting a prybar through the caliper inspection window and into the cooling vanes of the brake disc to hold the hub stationary while removing the nut. Pull the brake disc off the hub. Attach a puller to the hub flange and tighten it just enough to push the driveaxle in a little, breaking loose the splines from the hub. Remove the hub retaining bolts, either through the opening in the hub flange or from the back side of the
Steering Knuckle. Wiggle the hub and bearing assembly back and forth and pull it out of the steering knuckle, along with the brake disc shield if equipped. If the hub and bearing assembly are being replaced with a new one, it is recommended to replace the dust seal in the back of the steering knuckle. To replace the seal, disconnect the stabilizer bar and the balljoint from the
Control Arm and pull the steering knuckle and strut assembly off the driveaxle stub shaft. Pry the seal out of the knuckle with a screwdriver.
