Rear Hub and Bearing - Removal
FRONT-WHEEL-DRIVE
NOTE: Before proceeding, See: Suspension/Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings .
1. Raise and support the vehicle. See: Maintenance
2. Remove the wheel mounting nuts (3), then the rear tire and wheel assembly.
NOTE: In some cases, it may be necessary to retract the caliper piston in its bore a small amount in order to provide sufficient clearance
between the pads and the rotor to easily remove the caliper from the knuckle. This can usually be accomplished before removal by
grasping the inboard side of the caliper and pulling outward working with the guide pins, thus retracting the piston. Never push on
the piston directly as it may get damaged.
3. Remove two bolts (1) securing the disc brake caliper and adapter bracket (2) to the knuckle (3).
4. Remove the disc brake caliper and adapter bracket (2) as an assembly from the knuckle (3) and rotor. Hang the assembly out of the way using wire
or a bungee cord. Use care not to overextend the brake hose when doing this.
