Does anyone have a writeup or info on taking apart the rear wheel bearings out? And my other question is about the o2 simulator...This question goes mainly towards Jime because I have read a post of you saying you wired one to your rear o2...So how did you wire your o2Simulator into you factory o2sensor? I am asking because I wired up mine and still am getting a CEL. BTW I got a dual output o2 simulator

Thanks,

If it's mainly for JIME why not just PM him?

 

It's not just for him, its for whoever has a o2simulator. Since I knew he had one I figured to put his name in the title to get his attention.

rear wheel bearing is not "removable". you have to replace the entire rear hub w/ the bearing inside it.

just remove the brake rotor and the hub cap in the center and the bigass nut behind it. replace the nut when you do the job. they're about $5 from the dealer. clean axle off, add some new axle grease to it, install new hub, torque to spec, hammer the ends down for the locknut safety thing, reassemble brakes.

 

removing the hub does not require any special tool s ?
I paid to get mine done if I knew it was that simple
I would have done it myself .Make sure the the hub
center clears your rim ,I am running spacers cause
my wheel would not tighten .The part that the dust cap
goes on is bigger on the new hubs

 

no special tools, just a torque wrench. they have to be torqued to ~190ft-lb.

 

Hi Matt,

You can't press the bearings out and press new ones in, like the front bearings?

 

The bearings used in the rear hub are not standard tappered roller bearings that are used in most cars. The hub assy was something like $50. Even if they were replaceable by the time you buy the bearings and have them pressed out and in it wouldnt be any cheaper anyway. The other plus side is that replacing the entire hub is only a few min deal where pressing bearings in and out....

 

Noone can get the rear hub assembly anymore, everywhere I tried the assembly is discontinued. Any idea what thats about or where I can go to get it?

Have you tried Courtesy? They might have it (or at least source one for you).

 

I am sure it is still available. Try a different dealer. Could be the part # that dealer is looking up has been superseeded by another.
