2001 Dodge Caravan Wheel Bearing Parts and Q&A
Q: How to Service and Repair a Wheel Bearing on 2001 Dodge Caravan?
A: The first step to servicing and repairing the hub and bearing on the front wheels is to raise the car, then eliminate the lug nuts and front tire from the wheel assembly. After that, get rid of the cotter pin, nut lock and spring washer on the stub axle. Help from a helper applying the brakes will support you in removing the nut from the hub. Take out the disc brake caliper and adapter as a unit from the knuckle and hang it away so you don't place stress on the brake hose. Pull the brake rotor off the wheel's bearings, then use a long pry bar to push the end of the driveshaft into the hub and dislocate the splines there. Remove the four hub and bearing bolts from the back of the steering knuckle so that you do not come in contact with the ABS tone wheel on the driveshaft stub shaft. When the assembly comes loose, wipe off any dirt or debris from the mounting surfaces of the steering knuckle and stub axle, put the hub and bearing onto the stub axle and push it into the steering knuckle to secure it properly. Affix the four mounting bolts to the knuckle from its backside and make sure to tighten them in a cross mode for 65 Nm (45 ft. lbs.), until the assembly is safely seated. After putting the brake rotor on the hub and bearing, assemble the brake caliper and adapter assembly so they are lined up with the steering knuckle holes and tighten their bolts to 169 Nm (125 ft. lbs.). After that, on the stub axle, install the hub nut and tighten it with the brakes held by the helper to 244 Nm (180 ft. lbs.) torque. Position the wheel and tire assembly, then tighten the wheel mounting stud nuts in order to half of the tighter required value. Repeat to achieve the stronger, full required value which is 135 Nm (100 ft. lbs.). After that, roll the vehicle onto the ground and look at the front wheel alignment toe setting, bending it if required.
