The chassis of any car is constantly exposed to shocks during its operation, it is especially difficult for turning mechanisms. Therefore, they should be periodically monitored and measures taken for repairs in time. The greatest danger lies in the wheel bearing, which can jam, which will lead to a sharp "throw" of the car in this direction, and this is a real opportunity to get into an accident. When repairing, it must be properly secured with mandrels.
Necessary
- - box wrench for 27;
- - key for 17;
- - balloon wrench;
- - new hub nut.
Instructions
Step 1
Place the machine on a lift, inspection pit, or level surface. In the last two cases, fix the rear wheels by placing stops under them. Remove the protective decorative cap. Unscrew the hub nut. To do this, use a 27 mm spanner wrench with a lever. Remove the wheel. Press the front pads off the brake disc with a pry bar. Using a 17 wrench, unscrew the two bolts (top and bottom) and remove the caliper. Secure it so that the brake hoses are not taut. Then remove the brake disc.
Step 2
Take the appropriate drift and use it to press the hub out of the inner ring of the bearing. In the event that its outer part remains on it, take a puller and compress it. For this, there are two recesses on the hub.
Step 3
Pull out the retaining rings from both sides of the steering knuckle. Take a mandrel and press the bearing out of it. Install the outer circlip. Secure the new bearing with an appropriate mandrel into the knuckle using a press or vise. In this case, apply force only to its outer ring. The bearing should not be clogged, as this may cause it to collapse. Install the inner circlip.
Step 4
Take a mandrel and press the hub into the inner bearing ring. Replace the steering knuckle on the vehicle in the reverse order. In this case, it is better to install a new hub nut. Put the wheel on and finally tighten it to the appropriate torque, while turning the wheel and make sure there are no knocks and backlash. Lock it up and put on the protective cap.
