  Q: How to Maintain and Fix a Wheel Hub on Chrysler Crossfire?

  A:

  To do the service and repair work on the front wheel hub and bearing, lift the car on the front, then take off the front wheel and its tire to start. Examine the front Brake Caliper and rotor for any problems or wear before coming to the front wheel hub dust cap. Unscrew the hub nut bolt, remove the hub nut (3) and retrieve the tapered roller bearing (2) before you can pull off the front wheel hub (1) from the spindle. The next thing to do is unbolt (1) the front dust shield, check it and replace it if required, since visible discoloration may mean that the bearings are able to move too much. It is very important to change the tapered roller bearing and both races as a set. If the spindle shows signs of wear on the bearing seats or the contact surface of the radial seal ring, replace it as directed. Assess the threaded bores and rotor teeth for damage on the front wheel hub (1), check that the tapered roller bearing (2) is smooth and not discolored, make sure both bearing races (in the hub) and the radial seal ring fit the specifications and ensure that the roller cage and tapered roller ends are also undamaged. Before you install the front wheel hub, grease the hub (1), coat the radial seal ring, pack grease between the tapered roller bearing and the sealing lip and fit the hub onto the spindle so the inner tapered roller bearing (2) and the radial seal ring are installed first. Soften the locking nut (2) enough to let you set the rotor (5) well, then put in the front disc brake rotor (1) and caliper (6). Reinsert the dust cap (4), adjust the wheel bearing's end play and before driving, use the brake pedal a number of times to ensure the brakes are fully charged. After that, place the wheel and tire on the car.

  Q: How to Service and Repair a Wheel Hub and Bearing on Chrysler Crossfire?

  A:

  The first phase in servicing the rear hub and bearing involves removing the disc Brake Calipers, the caliper bolts, the rear disc brake rotor and finally the parking brake shoes. After that, remove the rear axle halfshaft and take out the snap ring from the rear hub assembly housing. Take out the bearing on the hub with Special Tool 9181 Bearing Tool to prevent harming the rear axle halfshaft flange in the vise. Grab the inner bearing race with locking pliers and a puller before the rear axle halfshaft flange and if the runout is greater than 0.0018 inch (0.03 mm), replace flange. Insert Special Tool 9199 Bearing Tool into the shaft collar and use it to slide the bearing into the wheel carrier, making certain the shoulder touches the bearing and the snap ring is properly set. With the Pressure Plate against the bearing's interior race, push the snap ring into position on the rear wheel adapter. Then, set the rear axle halfshaft flange, install the parking brake shoes, disc brake rotor and rear disc brake caliper bolts and put on the wheel and tire assembly.
