REMOVAL

CAUTION: DO NOT hammer studs out of the hub flange. If a stud is removed by hammering it out of the bearing flange, damage to the hub and bearing assembly will occur leading to premature bearing failure.

1. Remove the hub and bearing from the vehicle.

CAUTION: Take care to keep hub and bearing assembly from falling during stud removal. Damage to the hub and bearing could result.





2. Position the hub and bearing assembly under a hydraulic press ram, supported by a 21 mm deepwell impact socket under the stud to be replaced (Fig. 22).
3. Press the stud out of the hub flange and into the socket well.
4. Remove the hub and bearing assembly from the press.
5. Remove the stud from the socket.

INSTALLATION

CAUTION: DO NOT hammer studs into the hub flange. If a stud is installed in such a manner, damage to the hub and bearing assembly may occur leading to premature bearing failure.

1. Install wheel stud into stud hole in hub and bearing assembly.





2. Position the hub and bearing assembly face down with stud pointing down into the well of the 21 mm socket. The hydraulic press ram must line up with the stud (Fig. 23).
3. Press the stud into the hub flange until it bottoms.
4. Remove the hub and bearing assembly from the press.
