General Information

The front hub/bearing is serviced separately from the front steering knuckle. Retention of the front hub/bearing into the steering knuckle, is by means of 3 bolts installed from the rear of the steering knuckle. The bolts attach the hub/bearing to the outboard side of the steering knuckle. Removal and installation of the hub/bearing assembly from the steering knuckle must be done with the steering knuckle removed from the vehicle. This is required due to the tool clearance to the ABS tone wheel when removing the retaining bolts. Removing the retaining bolts with the steering knuckle installed can result in damage to the tone wheel teeth requiring replacement of the driveshaft. If vehicle is not equipped with ABS, the hub/bearing may be removable without removing steering knuckle from vehicle.
