I have new Hub bearings to fit to my car, these will get done in the coming weeks.
How difficult are they to change?
I have consulted the service manual, but it is not very clear in how it's done.

I have new Hub bearings to fit to my car, these will get done in the coming weeks.
How difficult are they to change?
I have consulted the service manual, but it is not very clear in how it's done.
it is a huge pain. need a big press. and many hours, basically there is a circlip to remove then press out, i had to add heat to give it a hand. not a fun job, and i dont want to be attempting it again anytime soon.
remember to get alignment after your done
There is no circlip, did a set last week
Hub has 4 bolts, removal of drive shaft makes a lot easier so several arms need to be disconnected
Do these commonly wear on the AWD , how many clicks has the car done? what are the signs of wearQuote:

Its starting to get the very slight rubbing/grinding noise that worn bearings get when the grease is getting thin on one side, so getting both done. This is pure preventative maintainance.
Mine has 194k on it thats why i asked it seems to be ok around to, on the freeway around 110 theres a slight noise in the rear end under accelration, could it be a uni-joint ?on the drive shaft
Finally getting around to getting these done.
I have got a reversible bearing/gear puller, on the attached pic below, is this the correct way to get the hub off?

The original rears on my AWD were replaced @190,000km at MitsFix last November.
They were not showing any problems, but as the rest of the rear end was receiving brand new genuine bushings I thought it was a good time to have the rear wheel bearings replaced with new ones.
Ever since I replaced them, they have done approx 60,000km and I haven't had any more problems
