Remove the 4 bolts attaching the hub/bearing to the rear axle. See Fig. 7 . Fig. 8: Using Tool 8214-1 To Remove Stuck Hub/Bearing (FWD) Courtesy of DAIMLERCHRYSLER CORPORATION 6. If hub/bearing cannot be removed from the axle by hand, use Special Tool 8214-1 and follow procedures to press the hub/bearing out of the axle. See Fig. 8 . Ã Â Â Place Special Tool 8214-1 over tone wheel and against cast flange of hub/bearing.Put a dab of grease in the bolt pilot hole on the back of special tool 8214-1. Ã Â Â Insert Special Tool 8214-2 into the hole in the bottom of the end casting on the axle. The tool should be against and supported by the axle plate when pressing the wheel bearing out of the axle. If the tool will no fit into the hole in the end casting, file or grind the flashing from the hole until the tool fits properly. NOTE: The rear wheel speed sensor bolts to the hub/bearing. It can not be removed unless the speed sensor is removed first. CAUTION: When working in the area of the rear hub/bearing and when removing it from the rear axle, care must be used so the teeth on the tone wheel are not damaged. Damage to the teeth on the tone wheel will result in false ABS cycling and corrosion of the tone wheel. CAUTION: Corrosion may occur between the hub/bearing and the axle. If this occurs the hub/bearing will be difficult to remove from the axle. If the hub/bearing will not come out of the axle by pulling on it by hand, do not pound on the hub/bearing to remove it from the axle. Pounding on the hub/bearing to remove it from the axle will result in noise or failure of the bearing.Ã Â Â Align bolt in Tool 8214-2 with pilot hole in special tool 8214-1. Tighten bolt against Tool 8214-1.Press hub/bearing out of axle by continuing to tighten bolt in Tool 8214-2 against Tool 8214-1. 7. Remove the hub/bearing from the rear axle and brake support plate.
