U will need to remove the brake cailper and the the brake rotor, then the hub retaining nut, that is a large metric nut, the bearing and hub must come off, then u will need to take this hub to a machine shop or the dealer and have the new bearing pressed in.

THE TIBURON IS FRONT WHEEL DRIVE, SO IT HAS A HUB ASSEMBLY.. TAKE THE WHEEL AND BRAKES OFF, THERE IS THREE BOLTS THAT THE HUB AS CONNECT IT TO THE CAR, AND ONE BIG AXLE NUT IN THE CENTER OF THE ROTOR.. THE ALL THE BOLTS OFF SLIDE YOUR AXLE OUT AND JUST REPLACE YOUR HUB BEARING.. IT SHOULD RUN YOU ABOUT $125 IF YOU DO IT YOURSELF..GOOD LUCK KEITH...

Changing front wheel bearing 2003 tiburon how do i get the sensior off so i can take the bracket in to get the old bearing pressed out at the shop

There's one bolt holding the sensor in to the steering knuckle. Remove the bold an pull the sensor out.

When I changed my wheel bearing, the sensor was ceased in place and it broke when I tried to remove it. I had to drill out the bits of sensor that were stuck, then install a new sensor. The new sensor cost around $235.

Alternatively, you could follow the sensor wire to its connector, disconnect the wire and leave the sensor installed. But be aware that the sensor may be damaged when pressing the old wheel bearing out / new one in. In that case, the sensor would have to be replaced anyway.

Rear wheel bearing hyundai coupe

just remove the wheel and count the teeth on the ring on the rear brake thats all you need to do. Since you can't drive it take it off and take it in to compare parts so you don't have to go back twice. You will need a new wheel seal and race and bearings.

Wheel bearing

The front 'hub' bearing is 'pressed' out. You have to remove the steering knuckle from the vehicle and using a hydraulic press, replace the bearing by pressing out the old one and then pressing in the new one.

What does it take to replace the front wheel bearings on a 2003 Tiburon

the front wheel bearings on your car are not sold except as a front wheel hub assembly with the bearing pre-installed, they run about $100.00 each, to replace them requires no special tools, all u do is remove the wheel, the brake caliper and the brake rotor and the hub nut, then the hub just slides off, u will most likely need a very large socket for the hub retaining nut.
