Rear Hub and Bearing

REAR HUB/BEARING






REMOVAL PROCEDURE
The wheel bearing in the rear wheel hub is integrated into one unit. Therefore, the hub is non-serviceable. If the hub and/or bearing is damaged, replace the complete hub and bearing assembly.

1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Remove the tire and wheel assembly. Refer to WHEEL REMOVAL in TIRES AND WHEELS.
3. Remove the rear caliper bracket. Refer to BRAKE CALIPER BRACKET REPLACEMENT (REAR) in DISC BRAKES.
4. Remove the ABS harness and the electrical connector.
5. Remove the rear wheel hub-to-knuckle bolts (2).
6. Remove the rear wheel hub (3) from the knuckle (1).

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Install the rear wheel hub (3) to the knuckle (1).

NOTICE: Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part number for that application. The manufacturer will call out those fasteners that require a replacement after removal. The manufacturer will also call out the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplemental coatings (paints, greases, or other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and joint clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and systems.

2. Install new rear wheel hub-to-knuckle bolts (2).

Tighten
Tighten the hub mounting bolts to 75 Nm (55 lb ft).

3. Install the ABS harness and the electrical connector.
4. Install the rear caliper bracket. Refer to BRAKE CALIPER BRACKET REPLACEMENT (REAR) in DISC BRAKES.
5. Install the tire and wheel assembly. Refer to WHEEL INSTALLATION in TIRES AND WHEELS.
6. Lower the vehicle.
