⚠️ CARPARTS.COM'S INFOS
- We recommend loosening the nut on the end of the transmission once the vehicle is on the ground. If your vehicle is equipped with aluminum rims, you will need to remove the wheel first before you can remove the central rim cover.
- When you change your wheel hub or your wheel bearing, we recommend that you also change your brake backing plate.
- Don't forget to remove the cable that you used to hold the caliper assembly together.
- We recommend replacing the hub nut with a new one.
