Wheel Hub And Knuckle: Disassembly: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Nissan Sentra. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: When removing wheel hub or wheel bearing from knuckle, replace wheel bearing assembly (outer race and inner race) with a new one.
Wheel bearing does not require maintenance. If any of the following symptoms are noted, replace wheel bearing assembly.
  • Growling noise is emitted from wheel bearing during operation.
  • Wheel bearing drags or turns roughly. This occurs when turning hub by hand after bearing lock nut is tightened to specified torque.
