Removal

1. NOTICE: Suspension fasteners are critical parts that affect performance of vital components and systems. Failure of these fasteners may result in major service expense. Use the same or equivalent parts if replacement is necessary. Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Tighten fasteners as specified.

Remove the wheel knuckle. REFER to Wheel Knuckle .

2. Remove and discard the 4 wheel bearing and wheel hub bolts, then separate the wheel bearing and wheel hub assembly from the wheel knuckle.





3. NOTICE: Make sure the wheel knuckle bearing bore is clean enough to allow the wheel bearing and wheel hub to seat completely by hand. Do not press or draw the wheel hub and bearing into place or damage to the bearing may occur.

Clean and inspect the wheel knuckle bearing bore. If the wheel knuckle is cracked, install a new wheel knuckle.

4. NOTICE: Make sure the wheel hub-to-wheel knuckle mating surfaces are clean and free of any adhesive. Failure to clean the adhesive from both surfaces may cause bearing damage.

Using a clean shop towel, clean the wheel hub-to-wheel knuckle mating surfaces.
