2014 and earlier models require special tools and expertise to press the hub and bearing from the steering knuckle, this job should be left to a professional mechanic. However, the steering knuckle and hub may be removed and the assembly taken to an automotive machine shop or other qualified repair facility equipped with the necessary tools. For 2015 and later models, caution is advised as the manufacturer recommends to replace all removed suspension component fasteners (nuts and bolts) with new ones. Apply the parking brake, loosen the wheel lug nuts and raise the front of the vehicle. Support it securely on jack stands and remove the wheel. Remove the brake disc. Remove the hub dust cap and nut, then push the drive axle through the hub splines as the hub and bearing assembly is removed. Be careful not to over extend the inner CV joint. Once the hub has been removed, support the outer end of the drive axle with a length of wire or rope. Remove the four bolts securing the hub assembly to the steering knuckle, then remove the hub and bearing assembly. Installation is the reverse of removal. Replace all suspension fasteners that were removed with new fasteners and tighten them to the values listed in the Specifications. Install the wheels, lower the vehicle and tighten the wheel lug nuts to the torque listed in the Specifications.
