SOURCE: how do I replace the front wheel bearing hub
The front wheel bearings are pressed into the nuckle. You will need a kit to press them in and out or visit a shop or machine shop and have them press the bearing in and out.
To do this you will need to remove the knuckle.
1. remove the tire
2. remove the axle nut
3. separate the outer tie rod end from the knuckle
4. remove the caliper and rotor
5. separate the lower control arm from the knuckle.
6. remove axle from the hub.
7. unplug ABS sensor
8. remove the strut to knuckle mounting bolts.
With the knuckle removed the bearing can be pressed out and the new one pressed in. The most important step when reassembling is torquing the axle nut to the proper spec. Failure to do so will cause the new bearing to wear out prematurely!!!
It is also common for the hub (the part with the wheel studs) to wear out and need to be replaced as well.
If you have any questions let me know!
