J 28733-B Wheel Hub Remover

1. Raise the vehicle and support by the frame allowing the control arms to hang free. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.
2. Remove the wheel and tire. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation in Tires and Wheels.



3. Remove the wheel drive shaft nut.

Insert a drift punch (1) or screwdriver into the caliper and rotor to prevent the rotor from turning.

4. Remove the rotor. Refer to Brake Rotor Replacement in Disc Brakes.



5. Disconnect the front wheel speed sensor connector and unclip from the dust shield.



6. Remove the hub and bearing retaining bolts and dust shield.



7. Place the transmission in PARK.
8. Using J 28733-B separate hub and bearing from the drive axle.

Important: The hub and bearing are replaced only as an assembly.

Important: Clean rust and foreign material from the knuckle mounting face, bore and chamfer to allow for proper seating of the bearing and knuckle.

1. Install the hub and bearing to the drive axle.

•	Apply a light coating of grease to the knuckle bore. If the new hub and bearing has a protective plastic cover, remove it before installation.

•	Do not handle the knuckle or hub assembly by the ABS sensor wire.

2. Install new drive axle nut and draw hub and bearing onto the axle.
3. Place the transmission in neutral.
4. Install the dust shield, taking care not to damage the bearing outboard lip seal.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
