How to change the rear wheel bearing on a Tiburon?

Any diagrams, pics, step by step guide, links?How to change the rear wheel bearing on a Tiburon?
Never did it on a hyundai, but probably similar to most FWD cars.



Remove the wheel, then the brake caliper, then the brake rotor. Then your wheel hub should be exposed. Probably 3 bolts holding it on. Get the bolts loose. If the hub is frozen, give it some firm blows with a 3 sledge and chisel on each side until it pops off. Installation is reverse of removal.



You'll have to replace the entire wheel hub, they don't make it the old school way anymore with servicable bearings. Probably looking at $40-$60 for the part.How to change the rear wheel bearing on a Tiburon?

How to change the rear wheel bearing on a Tiburon?
Actually a lot of newer foreign cars have the bearings pressed in place and you need a shop press to remove and install... Entire spindle needs to be removed to do this... But I can't remember if a tiburon has this in the rear, I know subaru rear bearings are pressed in ... An easy way to tell is to see if there are bolts in the back of the spindle, usualy 3 or 4



If they are bolted on, this is simple, ... Well just follow the other persons instructions

    How do i change the rear wheel bearing on a 1999 dodge stratus?

    I just did the rear brakes on my stratus and realized my bearing is getting bad. Is it hard to change? Some info would be great. ThanksHow do i change the rear wheel bearing on a 1999 dodge stratus?
    Wheel Bearings are very easy to replace. In most cases, you will need a torque wrench. in some cases, you will need a hydraulic press. If a hydraulic press is needed, you can take a bearing purchased from the internet to a local shop to have it pressed on.

    New wheel bearings can be purchased online from http://mibearings.com

    they have very good quality bearingsHow do i change the rear wheel bearing on a 1999 dodge stratus?
    It's a whole hub assembly that bolts in. It's either $54 or $78, depending on if you have ABS or not.



    So you won't need a bearing press.

    Yes considering the bearing are pressed in. Do you have a slide hammer? No.. this isn't something you will be able to do. Labour time to do both front bearings are 3.0 book time. Take it to a shop.

    Can anyone help with how to change a wheel bearing on a erde trailer please?

    Most trailers have the same type of wheel bearings.



    To change a wheel bearing, try to follow the following in the order given:



    1. Jack up the trailer and support it with jack stands.

    2. Remove wheel cover if it has one.

    3. Remove lug nuts from wheel.

    4. Remove wheel and tire Assembly.

    5. Using a flat blade screw driver, remove the dust cap on the center of the wheel hub.

    6. You will need a pair of pliers to remove the cotter pin that holds the nut retainer in place.

    7. Once the cotter pin is removed you should be able to remove the nut retainer if so equiped.

    8. Use the correct socket or wrench to remove the bearing jam nut.

    9. Remove the bearing washer.

    10. Now the wheel assembly should slide off the spindle.

    11. If you have not acquired a new bearing yet, you can take your hub and old bearing with you to the parts store to purchase the new bearing.

    12. Replace the bearing on the spindle. Also remember to replace the race inside the wheel hub.

    13. Put the wheel assembly back together in the reverse order taken apart. First put the hub back on the spindle, Second put the washer on the spindle, Third put the nut on the spindle and tighten until you cannot turn the wheel then back off the nut about 1/4 of a turn, Fourth put the nut retainer back on the nut if equiped, fifth put the cotter pin in the hole and bend back in place over the shaft, sixth put the dust cap back in place and put the wheel and tire back on, seventh take the trailer off jack stands and lower trailer to the ground. Now you are done. Good Luck!Can anyone help with how to change a wheel bearing on a erde trailer please?
    I'm not sure of the complete procedure, but I just want to make a reminder to use high heat grease. My dad packed the bearings on my truck with some random grease and he ended up having to redo it within a couple of weeks.Can anyone help with how to change a wheel bearing on a erde trailer please?
    Not familiar with erde but most you pop the grease cap then teke the hold down nut off.
