To Replace Hub Bearing Assembly
With the car on a wheel free lift and with the rear wheel and engine undertray removed:
1. Firmly apply the parking and footbrakes, and remove the driveshaft nut (both RH thread).
2. Release the two fixing bolts, and remove the brake calliper from the hub carrier. Support clear of the brake
disc without straining the flexible hose. Check that the parking brake is released, back off the brake shoe
adjuster, remove the two countersunk retaining screws and withdraw the brake disc/drum from the hub.
3. Using a Torx socket, release the four bolts securing the hub bearing unit to the hub carrier, and with-
draw.
4. Fit the new hub bearing unit to the hub carrier and driveshaft, apply Permabond A130 (A912E7033) to the
threads and retain the unit with the four Torx bolts tightened to 70 Nm.
5. Refit the brake disc and calliper, using Permabond A130 (A912E7033) on the threads of the calliper fixing
bolts and torque tightening to 86 Nm.
6. Adjust the parking brake shoes and pump the brake pedal to reposition the pads before driving the car.
