                                                                        Jack
                                                                Socket wrench

Instructions
1 Loosen the lug nuts. Raise the vehicle with a jack and remove the wheel. The jack point is a thicker, reinforced edge at the bottom of the body panel directly behind the
 front wheel.

2 Remove the bolts from the brake caliper and hang the caliper from a length of scrap wire. Do not allow it to hang from the brake line.

3 Remove the disc by unscrewing the retaining screws and driving a pair of 8mm bolts through the disc, pushing it away from the hub.

4 Remove the anti lock brake sensor and wire bracket from the steering knuckle.











 5 Remove the upper and lower ball joints.

6 Pull the steering knuckle outward. Disconnect the drive shaft joint with a plastic hammer to fully remove the knuckle.

7 Remove the circular clip that holds the bearing in place. Push the bearing out of the steering knuckle. Remove the inner race with a bearing remover tool.

8 Press the replacement bearing and track into the knuckle with a bearing press. Install the clip. Reinstall the steering knuckle, attach the wheel and lower the vehicle.
