11. Remove both lower control arm bolts.
12. Remove bearing carrier.
Disassembly
1. Remove outer snap ring.
2. From the back side, tap on the outer bearing race with a drift
punch in the reliefs as shown or press out using a hydraulic
press.
NOTE: Drive bearing out evenly by tapping on outer
race only. Once bearing is at bottom of casting,
support casting on outer edges so bearing can be
removed.
3. Inspect bearing.
NOTE: Due to extremely close tolerances and
minimal wear, the bearings must be inspected
visually, and by feel. While rotating bearings by
hand, inspect for rough spots, discoloration, or
corrosion. The bearings should turn smoothly and
quietly, with no detectable up and down movement
and minimal movement sideways between inner and
outer race.
4. Inspect bearing housing for wear or damage. Replace
housing if damaged.
