Rear Wheel Bearing Replacement
Important:
The following procedure should only be performed if ABS DTC C0045 and/or C0050 were found earlier in the procedure.
1.
Raise the vehicle on a suitable hoist and support as necessary.
2.
If ABS DTC C0045 was found, remove the LEFT REAR tire and wheel assembly. If ABS DTC C0050 was found, remove the RIGHT REAR tire
and wheel assembly. If both ABS DTCs were found, remove both rear tire and wheel assemblies.
3.

Notice:
Support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic's wire, or equivalent, whenever it is separated from its mount and they hydraulic flexible brake
hose is still connected. Failure to support the caliper in this manner will cause the flexible brake hose to bear the weight of the caliper, which
may cause damage to the brake hose and in turn may cause a brake fluid leak.
Important:
DO NOT disconnect the hydraulic brake flexible hose from the caliper.
4.
Remove the rear brake caliper mounting bracket and caliper as an assembly and support the assembly with heavy mechanic's wire, or equivalent.
