To take off the wheel on the car you first need to loosen the lug nuts, then you have to lift up the car with a jack and set some kind of support stands, and then you are able to take the wheel off. Subsequently, unbolt the brake caliper and wire it to hang free; remove next the brake disc from the hub. Place the lower control arm on the jack-stand and unscrew the bolts holding the shock absorber on to the lower control arm. Divide the tie-rod from the steering knuckle arm and take out the bolts capturing the upper/lower ball joint to the steering knuckle; possibly, the lower shock bolt/nut might require removal to accommodate the ball joint removal tool. Open the nut using a spanner, and use a ball joint separator to properly remove the ball joint from the knuckle and the steered knuckle from the vehicle. Take off the hub bearing cap at the back of the steering knuckle assembly with a flat - bladed screwdriver, use a soft- jawed vise to clamp the axle assembly and then use the spanner wrench to remove the hub nut, special care to make sure that the stake mark on hub bolt is straight before removing it. Have the inner bearing and race pressed out by an automotive machining company. For installation, reverse the removal steps; it is advisable to have the new bearings pressed into place by an automotive machine shop. Slide the knuckle and hub assembly into place, place the knuckle over the upper balljoint, and screw in the nut but do not snugged it up. Clamp down on the lower control arm to locate the bottom of the steering knuckle onto the balljoint and on top of the nut, but don't torque it. Secure the tie rod-end to the steering knuckle arm and tighten SHOCK ABSORBER NUTS, BALL JOINT NUTS, and TIE- ROD END NUTS to Torque Specifications. Put the brake disc on the hub, and put the caliper back in place; put the wheel and tighten the lug nuts. Last, but not least, also lower the vehicle and further use a torque wrench to tighten the lug nuts to the recommended torque.
