• Q: What tools are required to service and repair the wheel bearing with RPO FE7 on 2002 Cadillac DeVille?

  A: A front/rear spindle remover with j 28733-b number is required to fix the fe7 Wheel Bearing. Static support the vehicle and remove the tire and wheel from their position. Press a flat large tool against the rotor and caliper before removing the wheel drive shaft nut and brake rotor. Take the wheel speed sensor connector off both its front dust shield and remove all Wheel Bearing hub retaining bolts. Insert the front/rear spindle remover (J 28733-B) tool to disconnect the hub and bearing from their drive axle position. Afterward remove both components from the unit. You should clean away rust and all foreign matter from the knuckle installation area, bearing space and chamfered edge before setting the bearing and knuckle parts properly. It's important to protect the abs sensor wire when working with wheel parts. Be cautious when placing the dust shield to protect the bearing and install the Wheel Bearing and hub directly onto the drive axle. Screw the axle nut in place to push the hub and bearing onto the axle. Also bolt the Wheel Bearing hub to the Wheel Hub using the specified torque of 152 nm. Attach the front wheel speed sensor connector to the dust shield and put on the brake rotor. Before tightening the wheel drive shaft nut to 215 nm (159 ft. Lbs.), position a large flat-bladed tool between the caliper and rotor to block their rotation. Place the tire and wheel on the vehicle before lowering it to the ground.
