To complete the work you will need:
- two- or three-jaw puller;
- internal snap ring pliers;
- cup puller.
Removal
1. Prepare the car for work (see "Preparing the car for maintenance and repair").
2. Using a slotted screwdriver, remove the hub cap.
Warning: Attempting to loosen the hub axle nut without straightening its crimped edge may damage the axle threads.
3. Lightly tapping the center punch with a hammer, bend back the edge of the nut that is pressed into the groove of the hub axle.
4. With a socket wrench by 30 mm using a long handle, loosen the hub nut.
5. Place the car on a stand, remove the wheel and brake drum (see "Brake drum - removal and installation").
6. Unscrew the nut and remove the thrust washer from the hub nut.
7. Using a puller, press the hub off the axle together with the bearing.
8. If the 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 a puller, compress and remove the bearing retaining ring.
11. Using a cup puller, press the bearing out of the hub.
Installation
Warning! When pressing in a bearing, force may only be applied to its outer ring.
1. Using the outer ring of the old bearing as a mandrel, press the new bearing into the hub with a puller.
2. Using a puller, install the bearing retaining ring.
3. Install the hub on the axle.
