replacing wheel bearing/hub assembly

I am going to be replacing this today and have 2 questions. first is it just remove hub nub, remove bearing, replace bearing and replace hub nut? i will anti sieze everything also. second what is the torque spec for the hub nut? what percentage of torque do you use when you use anti sieze? 75% 85%?


thanks skog
 
Yes you have to remove the axle nut.But this is just the start.Brake pads and caliper must be removed.The hub is held on by 3 12point 13mm bolts plus rust.Buy new bolts and pound on the old ones to knock out the hub.
Axle nut 175 ft lbs.No need for anti-sieze
Hub mounting bolts-75 ft lbs use anti-sieze around the bore in the knuckle that the hub sits in.

Take this with a grain'o'salt, cuz I aints no expert.

Are you planning to replace the bearings in the hub? Is it a 4WD hub?

From what I've heard it's a real PITA on a 4WD, and it's generally not done. You should replace the entire hub(4WD).
