Warning! Brake pads generate brake dust, which contains asbestos, which is harmful to health. Do not use compressed air or inhale the dust when cleaning brake pads.
Caution! Use only a special brake cleaner to clean brakes.
Note: Removing the hub and replacing the bearing requires specialized equipment, tools, and skills, so it is recommended that this work be performed at a service station. The only thing that can be done at home is to first remove the steering knuckle with the hub.
Removal
On all-wheel drive models, loosen the nut securing the drive shaft to the rear wheel hub.
Block the front wheels with chocks. Raise the rear of the vehicle and support it on stands. Remove the wheel.
Remove the brake drum. On 1996 and 1997 2WD and pre-2001 4WD models, remove the brake shoes, disconnect the parking brake cable from the rear brake boot, and disconnect the brake line from the wheel cylinder.

Figure 12.25. Loosening the bolts securing the hub to the rear steering knuckle
Unscrew the four bolts through the holes in the hub (on models before 2001) or nuts (on models since 2001) fastening the hub to the rear steering knuckle (figure 12.25).
Remove the rear wheel hub together with the bearing. On 1996 and 1997 single-wheel drive models and pre-2001 all-wheel drive models, remove the rear brake boot and hub assembly. On 1998-2001 single-axle models, reinstall one of the rear brake boot support bolts.
On 1996 and 1997 single-wheel drive models and pre-2001 all-wheel drive models, you can press the old bearing out of the hub and press in a new one. This work must be performed at a service station. On all other models, the hub and bearing are manufactured as a single unit, and if the bearing fails, the entire hub assembly will need to be replaced.
On single-axle models produced since 2001 with ABS, remove the speed sensor from the old hub and install it on the new hub.
