DIY: Front Wheel Bearing Replacement
 

I was going to replace my front right wheel bearing tomorrow.

Would anybody like to see how the process works? Should i step-by-step and photo it ?


Whacha think?

:tup:

Ferely easy,

1) remove the wheel
2)remove brake caliper, do not unbolt the brake hose, grab a few bungie cords and hang it there.
3) remove brake rotor, I had to use a tripod to remove mine, thing was stuck good.
4) remove abs sensor from where the bearing is at
5) remove 4screws from the back of the bearing housing I think they r #17
6) grab a slide hammer, attach it to the bearing, and hit it out.
7) insert the new bearing, and try to grab it with the bolts, tighten the 4 bolts star pattern, to equalize the pulling force for even pull.

Put everything back together.


That's pretty much it.

I wanna see!

Easy for you and me maybe, but I'll bet 99% of car owners (and probably even 80% of Z owners) couldn't manage it. Let him have his fun... it might help someone someday.;)

Even if you don't do a full DIY, pics at critical junctions are always welcome :tup:
