Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Secure the vehicle on a flat surface using jack stands. Remove the rear wheel and brake components to access the hub assembly.
2. Hub Removal: Detach the hub from the axle shaft, taking care not to damage surrounding components.
3. Bearing Extraction: Use a bearing puller or suitable tool to remove the old bearings. Clean all metal surfaces thoroughly.
4. Seal Replacement: Install new rubber seals onto the hub and axle shaft, ensuring proper alignment.
5. Grease Application: Apply a thin layer of high‑temperature grease to the bearing surfaces before installation.
6. Bearing Installation: Insert the new bearings into the hub assembly. Use a hammer or impact driver with a protective pad to seat them evenly.
7. Reassembly: Reattach the hub to the axle shaft, tighten bolts to OEM torque specifications, and reinstall brake components.
8. Wheel Installation: Mount the wheel, secure it with lug nuts, and lower the vehicle. Torque the lug nuts in a star pattern to manufacturer specifications.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect bearings periodically for signs of wear or damage, especially after long drives or off‑road use.
• Avoid overloading the vehicle beyond its rated capacity; excessive load accelerates bearing degradation.
• Keep the wheel hub area clean and free from debris to prevent contamination of seals and bearings.
• Use only the recommended grease type for re‑greasing or when replacing bearings in the future.
