• Q: How to service and repair the steering knuckle, wheel bearing, wheel hub, and wheel seal on 2008 Chevrolet Aveo?

  A: Start the process of steering knuckle service by lifting up the vehicle while providing maintained support. Service professionals should remove the hub assembly which consists of wheel hub and bearing along with the knuckle and brake shield. Position the knuckle assembly inside a vise for holding. Use extreme pressure lubricant j-23444-a from the front hub service set j-37105-c (CH-46560) (DW-340-040) to treat threaded rod j-36661-2 (CH-46560-04) at the front hub service set j-37105-c (CH-46560) (DW-340-040). Push the rod through ball bearing j-217801 (CH-46560-06) along with support bridge j-37105-1 (CH-46560-01) (DW340-040-1) into the hub and wheel hub replacer adapter dt-47540 (DW340-120-01). Install either the rod j-36661-2 (CH-46560-04) from the front hub service set ch-46560 through the support bridge j-37105-1 (CH-46560-01) (DW340-040-1) the wheel bearing and wheel hub replacer adapter dt-47540 (DW340-120-01). Either the Control Arm Bushing set j 21474-01 or the front hub service set ch-46560 can be utilized to secure the nut j-21474-4 (CH-46560-05) to rod j-36661-2 ( The split plate J 22912-B with a hydraulic press should be used to extract the bearing race from the hub if needed before removing the retaining ring from the knuckle. Use rod J-36661-2 (CH-46560-04) to pass through ball bearing j-217801 (CH-46560-06) and support bridge j-37105-1 (CH-46560-01) (DW340-040-1) and wheel bearing and wheel bearing remover adapter dt-47541 (DW340-120-02). Insert the nut j-21474-4 (CH-46560-05) onto the rod j-36661-2 (CH-46560-04) to remove the wheel bearing from the knuckle and discard the bearing afterward. Proper cleaning of the knuckle bore happens before assembly operations begin. After securing the steering knuckle in a vise place the rod j-36661-2 (CH-46560-04) through the ball bearing j-217801 (CH-46560-06) together with the wheel bearing installer adapter dt-47543 (DW-340-120-04) and the new wheel bearing followed by the wheel bearing installer adapter dt-47542 (DW340-120-03). Drive the nut j-21474-4 (CH-46560-05) onto rod j-36661-2 (CH-46560-04) for wheel bearing attachment to the knuckle then secure the retaining ring. Insert rod j-36661-2 (CH-46560-04) through wheel bearing installer adapter dt-47542 (DW340-120-03) while passing through hub and wheel hub replacer adapter dt-47540 (DW340-120-01) until it reaches ball bearing j-217801 (CH-46560-06). Install the rod j-36661-2 (CH-46560-04) with its nut and secure the wheel bearing to the hub. Make sure the hub spins effortlessly. To finish the procedure lower the vehicle into place after installing together the wheel hub and bearing and knuckle assembly with the brake shield.
