Note: The rear hub is combined with the wheel bearing into a single assembly. The bearing is sealed at the factory and does not require additional lubrication. If the bearing is worn or damaged, it should be replaced together with the hub.
1. Loosen the nuts of the corresponding rear wheel. Jack up the rear of the car and place it on supports. Remove the wheel.
2. Remove the brake drum/caliper with disc (see Chapter Brake system).
3. Using a hammer and chisel, remove the dust cover, then chisel the hub nut.

4. Using a socket wrench with a long collar, loosen the hub nut.
5. Remove the hub with the wheel bearing mounted in it from the rear axle hub assembly. If the hub is "stuck", tap it with a soft-faced hammer.
6. Install the new hub assembly with the bearing in its original place. Tighten the new hub nut with the required force. Do not forget to caulk the nut.
7. Replace the dust cover, tapping it lightly around the perimeter to ensure a secure fit.
8. Further installation is carried out in the reverse order of dismantling the components. Make sure that the fasteners of the brake mechanism components are tightened to the required torque (see Specifications in Chapter Brake system). Wheel nut tightening forces are given in the Specifications to Chapter Settings and ongoing maintenance.
