Installation Procedure

1. Preparation: Secure the vehicle on a flat surface, lift with a jack, and support with jack stands. Remove the wheel to access the bearing assembly.
2. Bearing Removal: Use a bearing puller or appropriate tools to extract the old bearing. Clean the hub area thoroughly to remove debris.
3. Seal Installation: Apply a thin layer of high‑temperature grease to the new seal’s inner surface before seating it into place.
4. Bearing Seating: Carefully press the new bearing onto the hub, ensuring proper alignment. Use a hammer and punch if necessary for gentle placement.
5. Axle Nut & Retaining Ring: Install the axle nut to the specified torque (typically 120 Nm). Slide the retaining ring over the bearing until it locks into position.
6. Reassembly: Replace the wheel, lower the vehicle, and tighten all lug nuts in a star pattern. Perform a final torque check on the axle nut after driving a short distance.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect bearings annually for signs of wear or leakage.
• Avoid over‑torquing axle nuts; use a calibrated torque wrench.
• Keep the wheel hub area clean to prevent contamination of seals.
• Replace any damaged retaining rings immediately to avoid bearing failure.
