Efficient Steps for Installation of the Wheel Hub
Assembly
2
The wheel is the most important part of a car as,
without it, the car won't be able to run.
3
The wheel hub assembly allows you to have a
smooth and hassle-free driving experience.

The wheel hub assembly contains the wheel
bearings, which allow the wheels to turn quietly
and steadily.
5
If you are trying to replace your old hub
assembly, then efficient installation of wheel
hub assembly should be a priority.
6
Prepare your car
7
Park your car on a spacious and level ground and
apply the parking brake and if you are installing
the new hub assembly on the front wheel, put the
choke at the back wheel.
8
Loosen the lug nuts about one-quarter of a turn
using the tire iron and do not remove them
completely.
9
Then, lift the car using the floor jack and set
up the jack stands underneath.
10
Remove the tire brakes
11
Once the car is lifted and properly placed on the
jack stands, remove the lug nuts and pull the
tire away from the wheel assembly.
12
Look for the brake caliper bolts and take them
off using the ratchet and socket. With your
screwdriver, carefully remove the caliper and
support it with the bungee cord.
13
After that, take the brake rotors off the hub
assembly and if your car is equipped with an ABS
wiring harness, unplug them from the assembly as
well.
14
Remove the old wheel assembly
15
Use the breaker bar and the socket to loosen and
remove the spindle nut and the washer. Look for
the wheel hub assembly bolts and remove them
using the ratchet and socket.
16
Move the drive shaft and the spindle to provide
easier access to the old hub assembly. After
that, carefully pull the old wheel hub assembly
away from the spindle.
17
Use the sandpaper to remove rust or any sign of
corrosion before installing the replacement hub
assembly.
18
Install the new wheel assembly
19
Position the new wheel hub assembly. Put the new
backing plate onto the knuckle and position the
drive shaft and the spindle.
20
Make sure they are at the center of the hub
bearing. Reattach the bolts of the wheel hub
assembly and securely tighten them using the
breaker bar and the socket.
21
Place the new washer and spindle to re-install
the brake assembly and re-connect the ABS wiring
harness. Then, remount the wheel and tighten all
the lug nuts in place.
22
Evaluate the new assembly
23
Remove the jack stands and lower your car and if
you are going to replace all the wheel hub
assemblies in your car, just repeat the entire
process on each hub assembly.
24
Towards the end, remove the wheel chock and test
drive your car to check if everything is working
properly.
