Wheel Bearing Replacement

Remove the knuckle/hub.
Separate the hub (A) from the knuckle (B) using the hub dis/assembly pin and a hydraulic press. Hold the knuckle with the attachment (C) of the hydraulic press or equivalent tool. Be careful not to damage or deform the splash guard (D). Hold onto the hub to keep it from falling when pressed clear.

Wash the knuckle and the hub thoroughly in high flash point solvent before reassembly.
Press a new wheel bearing (A) into the knuckle (B) using the old bearing (C), a steel plate (D), the attachment, the support base, and a press.
NOTE:
- Install the wheel bearing with the wheel speed sensor magnetic encoder (E) (brown color) toward the inside of the knuckle.
- Remove any oil, grease, dust, metal debris, and other foreign material from the magnetic encoder surface.
- Keep any magnetic tools away from the magnetic encoder surface.
- Be careful not to damage the magnetic encoder surface when you insert the wheel bearing.
