Rear Wheel Hub Bearing — Replacement (VAZ-2110)

To perform repair work on replacing the rear wheel hub bearing, you will need:

• three-and two-grip pullers (see point 12 "Special tools and devices");
• sliding forceps for removing locking rings (see point 8 "Special tools and devices");
• cup puller (see point 15 "Special tools and devices").

Removal

1. Prepare the car for work (see points 1, 2a and 3 "Preparing a car for maintenance and repair").

2. Remove the brake drum (see "Brake drum - removal and installation").

3. Using a slotted screwdriver, remove the hub cover on the rear wheel.

Warning: Attempting to loosen the hub axle nut without straightening the dented edge will damage the axle threads and require replacement of the hub axle.

4. Tapping the center punch with a hammer, bend back the edge of the nut that is pressed into the groove of the hub axle.



5. Using a 30 mm socket wrench with a long handle, unscrew the hub nut.





6. Remove the nut and thrust washer from the rear wheel hub nut.



7. Using a three-jaw puller, press the hub off the axle together with the bearing.



8. If the rear hub bearing has been destroyed and its inner ring remains on the axle, then we press it off with a two-jaw puller, installing its jaws in special recesses.




9. Place the hub in a vice.

10. Using special pliers, squeeze and remove the rear hub bearing retaining ring.



11. Using a cup puller, press the bearing out of the rear hub.

Installation

Warning: When pressing in a hub bearing, force should only be applied to its outer ring.

1. Using the outer ring of the old hub bearing as a mandrel, press the new bearing into the hub with a puller.



2. Install the hub bearing retaining ring.



3. Install the hub on the axle.



4. Install the thrust washer and new hub nut.

5. By tightening the nut, we press the bearing onto the hub axle.

6. Install the brake drum and wheel.

7. Lower the car onto its wheels.

8. Tighten the hub nut to a torque of 186.3-225.6 N·m (19-23 kgf·m) and press the edge of the nut into the groove of the hub axle.

9. Put the cover on the hub and the decorative cap on the wheel.
