Steps
Raise the vehicle and remove the wheel
Loosen the lug nuts with the vehicle on the ground. Raise and support the front safely, then remove the wheel and set it aside.
Disconnect the ABS sensor and axle nut
Remove the ABS sensor fastener and carefully release the sensor from the hub. Straighten and remove the axle cotter pin, then loosen the axle nut while preventing the hub from rotating.
Remove the caliper, rotor, and hub
Support the caliper so its hose is not strained and remove the rotor. Unbolt the hub from behind the knuckle, then free the axle splines and lift the hub assembly out.
Install the replacement hub
Clean the knuckle mounting surface and position the dust shield and new hub. Align the axle splines, start the hub bolts by hand, and tighten them to vehicle specification.
Reconnect axle, sensor, and brakes
Install the axle nut and a new cotter pin where specified. Reinstall the ABS sensor and brake rotor, then refit the caliper and tighten its fasteners to specification.
Reinstall the wheel and verify
Mount the wheel and torque lug nuts to specification in a crossing pattern. Confirm the ABS wire is routed correctly and test for bearing noise or warning lights.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
