When working on a rear-wheel drive vehicle Wheel Hub, bearing, and seal replacement starts with raising and supporting the vehicle and then moving onto removing the tire, wheel, and rotor. Remove both Wheel Hub and bearing 15-series bolts while also taking out the Wheel Hub and bearing bolts from the 25/35 series. Disassemble the Wheel Hub and bearing as well as the splash shield and extract the o-ring seal that protects the
Steering Knuckle bore of 25/35 series models. Take out the
Wheel Speed Sensor bolt then check the o-ring seal condition in the 25/35 series. Replace the o-ring if you find nicks, cracks, dry or brittle material, or evidence of compressing. You need to remove all dirt from the Steering Knuckle bore and hub before putting Wheel Bearing grease or equivalent lubricant inside both parts. Install an o-ring onto the Steering Knuckle of the 25/35 series by adding the Wheel Speed Sensor bolt next and tightening this bolt to 13 foot pounds torque. The vehicle requires 25/35-series components including the Wheel Hub and bearing shaft and splash shield first and the same Wheel Hub bearing and splash shield second for the 15-series. Secure the 15-series bearing mounting bolts and the Wheel Hub bolts for the 15-series while adding Wheel Hub and 25/35 series bearing bolts and tightening these bolts to 180 nm (133 ft. Lbs.). Reinstall the wheel components after you apply the brake hose clip bolt to 12 nm (106 inch lbs.) and place it onto the Steering Knuckle followed by the Wheel Speed Sensor and brake hose mounting bracket bolt.
