Default 08 Gnd Caravan Rear Hub

I've done the brakes so I have it to that point...what tools do I need to go on to replacing the rear wheel hub?

once you have the rotor off, 4 bolts on the back side of the bearing and pound it off. If you have a wheel speed sensor it may come with as well.

And a BIG hammer.

I think the bolt size are 15MM. but not 100% sure.

why are you replacing wheel hub? just curious. I don't see them go bad too often. And the Front wheel bearing has a 90k miles extended warranty.

Tizzy thx for the help.

steak59 - the front were replaced by dealer recall at 80k miles, soon after the rear started making noise & have added 20k on top of that & the roaring noise is at the point where its almost gone.

is there a center/hub nut in rear?

no. I checked the bolt size on an '11 model so yours may be different, but the '11 was a 16mm bolt.
