Helpful advice.
- To replace the bearing, it is convenient to use a commercially available puller for pressing out and pressing in hub bearings.
Notes:
- It is more convenient to replace the front wheel hub bearing with the steering knuckle removed from the vehicle.
- We recommend replacing the bearings of both front wheel hubs at the same time.
1. Remove the steering knuckle (see "Removal and installation the steering knuckle").
2. Clamp the steering knuckle in a vice and knock out the hub with a hammer, using a drift of the appropriate diameter (for example, a socket head).
3. Remove the hub. Most likely, the outer half of the inner bearing race will remain on it.
Warning: Once the hub has been removed, the bearing cannot be reused.

6. Install the bearing puller and press the outer bearing race out of the knuckle.
7. If you do not have a puller, knock out the bearing using a drift of a suitable diameter, since the pressed out bearing is not suitable for reuse.
8. Clean the parts and lubricate the inner surface of the knuckle seat and the outer surface of the hub with a thin layer of Litol-24 grease.
9. Press the new bearing into the steering knuckle until it stops.
Warning: When pressing the bearing into the steering knuckle housing, apply force only to the outer race of the bearing, otherwise the bearing may be damaged.
10. Press the hub into the bearing until it stops, supporting the inner bearing ring with a support.
Warning: If the inner bearing ring is not secured with a support when pressing the hub, it may be damaged.
Note.
- For vehicles equipped with ABS, install the wheel speed sensor bracket so that the angle is 35°±5°.
11. Install the steering knuckle on the vehicle in the reverse order of removal.
12. Check and, if necessary, adjust the wheel alignment angles in workshops with special equipment.
