Wheel Bearing













Removal

NOTICE: When the wheel hub is pressed from the bearing, the bearing inner race will come out with the hub. Never try to install the race back into the bearing. Always install a new bearing.

NOTICE: Make sure to keep the knuckle level and supported during pressing operations, or damage to the knuckle can occur. Support the knuckle as close to the bearing bore as possible. Do not use knuckle extremities as supports.

NOTE: If removing the wheel hub, the wheel bearing must be replaced.

NOTE: The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) tone ring is part of the wheel bearing assembly.

1. Remove the wheel knuckle. For additional information, refer to Wheel Knuckle Service and Repair.

2. Using the Step Plate and a suitable press, remove the wheel hub from the wheel bearing.





3. NOTE: This step may not be necessary if the inner wheel bearing race remains in the wheel knuckle after removing the wheel hub.

Using the Pinion Bearing Cone Remover and a suitable press, remove the inner wheel bearing race from the wheel hub.





4. Remove the snap ring.

5. Using the Wheel Hub Cup Remover/Installer and a suitable press, remove the outer wheel bearing race from the wheel knuckle.
