Note: If the bearing of one of the hubs fails, we recommend replacing both front wheel hubs at the same time.
You will need: a 18 mm wrench, a 32 mm socket head.
1. Raise and support the front of the vehicle. Remove the wheel.
2. Loosen the hub nut.
Note: The hub nut is tightened to a very high torque. To loosen, secure the hub with a tire iron (or a small crowbar), resting it on the wheel mounting nuts screwed onto the studs, as shown in the photo for point 2.
3. Completely unscrew the hub nut and remove it.
4. Remove the front wheel brake caliper assembly (see Replacing the front wheel brake caliper), without disconnecting the brake hose, and secure it with wire, preventing the hose from twisting or being pulled.
5. Remove the brake disc (see Replacing the brake disc of the front wheel brake mechanism).

Inspect and replace the mudguard if damaged.
8. Install the removed parts in the reverse order of removal.
9. Check and, if necessary, adjust the wheel alignment angles. Use the services of workshops with special equipment.
