Wheel Hub & Bearings: Removal

  1. Raise and support vehicle. Remove wheel and tire assembly. Install Axle Shaft Boot Seal Protector (J-28712) to drive axle shaft boot to protect drive axle during repair. Depress brake caliper piston, detach brake caliper and wire aside. Remove brake rotor. See Figure. Remove drive axle shaft nut cotter pin, retainer, drive axle shaft nut and washer. Pull hub and bearing assembly off drive axle shaft.
    2. NOTE: Darkened areas on bearing assembly are caused by heat treatment process and DO NOT indicate a need for replacement.
  2. Inspect steering knuckle grease seal for cuts, distortion and wear. Inspect steering knuckle, hub and bearing for damage. Replace as necessary. If wheel hub stud must be replaced, use Wheel Stud Remover (J-6627-A).
