Note: In this subsection, the replacement is described using the example of the rear left wheel hub; the right wheel hub is replaced in a similar manner.
1. Brake the vehicle with the parking brake and install the anti-rollback stops ("shoes") under the wheels. Loosen the wheel mounting nuts on the side of the hub to be removed. Use the jack to lift the rear of the vehicle and place it on the support. Remove the wheel and lower the parking brake lever all the way down (the car is released).
2. Disconnect the parking brake cable from the brake caliper (see Replacing the rear parking brake cables).
3. Disconnect the caliper from the pad guide (see Replacing the rear wheel brake caliper) and move it to the side without disconnecting the brake hose.
4. Tie the caliper, for example with wire, to the rear suspension spring, without stretching or twisting the brake hose.
5. Remove the shoe guide (see Replacing the rear wheel brake caliper).
6. Remove the brake disc (see Replacing the brake disc of the rear wheel brake mechanism).
7. Remove the four bolts securing the hub to the rear axle beam knuckle…
8. …remove the bolts…
9. …and remove the hub together with the brake shield…
10. …and the caliper mounting bracket.
Note: The rear wheel hub is non-separable. If its bearing fails, the hub is replaced as an assembly.
11. Install all removed parts in the reverse order of removal.
