To remove and install a rear hub assembly, first remove the axleshaft and rear wheels, then remove the brake disc and retaining ring/key from the end of the axle housing. Use a special socket to remove the adjusting nut and pull the hub assembly straight off the axle tube. Discard the oil seal and clean and inspect all components for wear or damage. Disassemble the hub further if necessary, then clean and reassemble using new bearing cups and lubricating with wheel bearing grease. To install, place the hub assembly on the axle tube and adjust the bearings by tightening the adjusting nut to 50 ft-lbs, then backing it off and tightening it hand-tight. Install the key and retaining ring, and ensure there is no play in the hub assembly before reinstalling the axleshaft and lowering the vehicle.

To remove and replace a bearing in an axle housing, first remove the axleshaft and oil seal. Use a bearing puller and slide hammer to extract the old bearing from the housing. Clean out the recess and install the new bearing using a bearing installer or a piece of pipe against the outer race. Ensure the bearing is tapped in fully. Finally, install a new oil seal and re-install the axleshaft.

After adjusting the bearings, the key and retaining ring should be installed.

Install the bearing with the square shoulder facing in, using a bearing driver or a socket with an outside diameter slightly smaller than that of the bearing.

To remove and install components in the front differential for AWD systems, follow these steps: Remove the stabilizer bar link and, if applicable, the front shock absorber. Unbolt the right driveaxle from the axleshaft flange, supporting it properly. Support the differential carrier with a floor jack and a block of wood. Remove nuts attaching the axle shaft to its support bracket and the bolts securing the axle shaft flange to the differential carrier. Use a brass punch and hammer to separate the axle shaft from the differential case side gear. Remove the inner axle shaft assembly and axle shaft. Replace the inner seal and bearing with a special tool, then apply RTV sealant to the differential sealing surface and install the inner axle shaft housing assembly. Install the axle shaft to the support bracket and align the splines with the differential side gear. Tap the axle shaft with a mallet until the ring (clip) aligns with the groove in the differential case side gear. Install the axle shaft to the inner flange and tighten the bolts. Reinstall the stabilizer link, fill the differential with lubricant, install the differential carrier splash shield, and finally, install the wheel and lug nuts. Lower the vehicle, tighten the lug nuts, and check for proper operation.

To remove and install components in the front differential for 4WD systems, follow these steps:Remove the bolts securing the axle tube to the differential carrier and the nuts attaching the tube to its support bracket.

The final step is to install a new oil seal and re-install the axleshaft.

The old bearing can be extracted from the housing using a bearing puller and slide hammer.

After removing the old bearing, the recess should be cleaned out.

1. Install the bearing with the square shoulder facing in, using a bearing driver or a socket with an outside diameter slightly smaller than that of the bearing. 2. Install a new seal and deflector, lubricating the lips of the seal with multi-purpose grease. 3. Carefully drive in the axle shaft with a soft-face hammer. 4. Fill the differential with the proper lubricant. 5. Install the driveaxle and differential carrier splash shield. 6. Install the wheel and lug nuts. 7. Lower the vehicle. 8. Tighten the lug nuts to the proper torque specifications. 9. Check for proper operation.
