[ryans590]

how to change your wheel bearings step 1: chock wheels, (all the safty mumbo jumbo) step 2 lift up the wheel your gonna change the barring on step 3: remove tire step 4: remove brake callaper, there is 2 allen head bolts on the back side once they are out lift it out you may half to wiggle it a bit and be careful not to stress the break like you dont wanna half to change them at the same time do you lol, place it on something so it cant fall and isent stressing the line step 5 remove roter, if they have never been of before there will be a cupple clips on the wheel studs, break them off then the roter will just pull off step 6 remove cotter pin from axle nut step 7 remove axle nut, the way i did this is i took a pry bar suck it in the nuckle by the wheel to keep the axle from spinning (when you put it in put it in such a way that it is resting on the forged part not the u-joint) the nut is metric but can be removed with a 1 11/16 or 1 3/4 (i used 1 3/4 cuz i dont have a metric set that big and my 1 11/16 was missing but the 1 3/4 was a bit sloppy) it may take a lot of force to break it loose if the barring has been gone for a while and has been getting hot, i broke a 1/2 in drive breaker bar and had to borrow a buddys 3/4 drive and about 8 feet of pipe step 8 remove the 3 bolts holding the hub assy on you will need a 12 point 9/16 socket (1/2 in drive) and once they start to come out you will half to use a boxed end wrench step 9 remove hub assy. it will most likey be rusted in take a thin chassle or a blade screwdriver that isent your favort and hammer it in-bee-tween the hub and the housing working your away around it untill it comes off when you take the hub off be carefull not to move the axle too much or pull it out, if you do you may scar the axle seal and that is a much harder job step 10 when the put the new hub on and work your way back of the order it all came off step 11 stand back and enjoy and send me a beer j/k DodgeForum.com and myself will not be held accountable for any problems resulting in doing a modification you found on our site.
