Removal
1 Chock the front wheels, prise off the rear
wheel trim and slacken the wheel nuts. Jack
up the rear of the car and support it on axle
stands. Remove the rear roadwheel and
release the handbrake.
2 Refer to Chapter 9 if necessary, and undo
the two bolts securing the brake caliper
carrier bracket to the hub carrier.
3 Undo the retaining bolt and release the
flexible brake hose support bracket from the
shock absorber strut.
4 Withdraw the carrier bracket, complete with
caliper and brake pads, from the disc and hub
carrier. Tie the caliper assembly from a
convenient place under the wheelarch to
avoid straining the brake hose.
5 On cars equipped with ABS, withdraw the
rear wheel speed sensor and wiring harness
from the hub carrier, as described in Chapter 9.
6 Undo the two screws and remove the brake
disc from the hub flange (see illustrations).
7 Undo the nut and release the anti-roll bar
connecting link from the suspension lower
transverse link (see illustration).
8 Place a jack beneath the transverse link,
and raise the link slightly.
9 Undo the nut and remove the through-bolt
and washers securing the hub carrier to the
trailing link.
10 Undo the nut and remove the bolt
securing the hub carrier to the transverse link.
11 Undo the nut and clamp bolt securing the
shock absorber strut to the hub carrier.
12 Lower the jack slightly, and release the
hub carrier from the shock absorber strut. If
the strut is tight, spread the slot in the hub
carrier with a screwdriver, and tap the carrier
down with a copper or plastic mallet.
13 Withdraw the hub carrier from the
transverse and trailing links, and remove it
from the car.
Refitting
14 Refitting is a reversal of removal. Tighten
all nuts and bolts to the specified torque, but
do not fully tighten the transverse and trailing
link retaining nuts until the weight of the car is
on the roadwheels.
