Raise your vehicle and get rid of the rear wheel and tire to service the rear wheel bearing. With rear drum brakes, first remove any clips on the studs and pull the drum off the hub and bearing. If you use rear disc brakes, lift the caliper from the
Steering Knuckle by removing two bolts, attaching a wire or cord and letting it hang from there, not from the brake line. After that, take off any clips holding the retainer to the studs and remove the rotor from the bearing and hub. With the dust cap taken off, remove the knuckle's retaining nut and get the hub and bearing off the spindle. To install, slide both the hub and bearing onto the spindle of the knuckle and fasten a new retaining nut, tightening it to 217 Nm (160 ft. lbs.). Make sure to put the dust cap back onto the hub and bearing. If your car has disc brakes at the rear, put the
Brake Rotor and caliper back on the knuckle and make sure the caliper is held in place by the two guide pin bolts, tightened to 22 Nm (192 inch lbs.). When all is complete, attach the tire and wheel to the vehicle, tighten all eight of the wheel mounting nuts by hand, tighten all eight again to half spec and then adjust them a final time to reach their full torque of 135 Nm (100 ft. lbs.).
