4. INTRODUCTION
A selection of kits designed for the second generation of wheel bearing found on modern vehicles. These bearings are
lightweight with an integral mounting ange. They are also pre-loaded with a retaining ring that secures the bearing into
the housing. Each kit is individually designed to suit the relevant vehicle manufacturer. These kits can be used in-situ
when replacing the front wheel bearing. Knowledge of the outer bearing diameter is required before selecting the
appropriate kit, as some vehicles are tted with more than one size of bearing.

5. OPERATION
5.1 BearingRemoval(g.2&g.3)
5.1.1 Prepare the vehicle for the wheel bearing to be
removed.
Note: When GEN2 wheel bearings are removed, the
retaining ring will sustain damage. DO NOT re-t a
bearing once it has been removed.
5.1.2 Fit the black hub clamp (8) behind the hub ange
with the recessed side facing the hub carrier. Secure
the hub clamp (8) with the hub clamp screws (7).
5.1.3 Fit the hub guide pins (6) into the thrust plate (2) so
that the hub guide pins (6) align with the holes in
the hub ange. Place the hub guide pins (6) though
the holes in the hub ange so that they sit against
the hub clamp (8) (g.3).
5.1.4 Lubricate the force screw (1).
5.1.5 Fit the force screw (1) through the thrust plate (2) and
through the bearing and hub carrier.
5.1.6 Place the black bearing plate (4) over the force screw
(1) so that it sits on the outer race of the bearing.

5.1.7 Screw the sleeved nut (5) over the force screw (1) so
that it sits against the bearing plate (4).
5.1.8 Use a socket on the force screw (1) and a spanner on
the sleeved nut (5) (g.3). Draw the bearing from the
hub carrier.
5.2 BearingInstallation(g.4&g.5)
WARNING! DO NOT fit a bearing with a damaged
retaining ring.
Note: The bearing must only be subjected to
force on the outer bearing race behind the
retaining ring during installation. Using a
workshop press on the hub flange to insert the
bearing will cause premature failure or destroy the
bearing during installation.
5.2.1 The silver hub clamp (9) sits in the space between
the rear of the hub ange and the retaining ring (g.5).
Secure the hub clamp (9) with the hub clamp screws
(7).
5.2.2 Fit the hub guide pins (6) into the thrust plate (2) so
that the hub guide pins (6) align with the holes in the
hub ange. Place the hub guide pins (6) though the
holes in the hub ange so that they sit against the hub
clamp (9).
5.2.3 Lubricate the force screw (1).
5.2.4 Offer the bearing and assembled kit to the hub carrier.
Ensure that the bearing is sitting square to the hub
carrier before commencing installation.
5.2.5 Fit the force screw (1) through the thrust plate (2) and
through the bearing and hub carrier.
5.2.6 Place the silver bearing plate (3) over the force screw
(1) so that it sits on the outer edge at the rear of the
hub carrier.
5.2.7 Screw the sleeved nut (5) over the force screw (1) so
that it sits against the bearing plate (3).
5.2.8 Use a socket on the force screw (1) and a spanner on
