okay ive replaced the rear hubs twice since ive iwned the car. about 4 years. the second time around it still made the noise like there bad. hub bearings were pressed by a trusty shop and i am pretty sure the hub spindle is bad. anyon have a clue how tyo remove that?? pleasse help i need to pull it apart today to check it..

 

Rear hub and bearing comes as an assembly.. there is no pressing involved.

Large axle nut remove, slide the old part off, slide new part on the axle stub...

Smart thing to do before install new hub is to take and pull the inner races apart slightly so you can see gap between the races in the bore --> take and pack a bunch of real bearing grease in the groove so it gets in and fills around the ***** and races of the bearing.. your bearing will thank you and last longer.

I prefer to use MOBIL-1 synthetic grease in there..

 

..I know all about the hub bearing dissasembly but i need to go one layer further and figure out how to diagnose and remove the spindle/axle stub that the hub slides onto. I know the hub and hub bearing are good so im thinking the noise is from the axle stub/spindle.

 

There is nothing to diag there... the stub is just a big solid peg with threads on end to hold bearing/hub on the stud... it just sits there.. slide the hub/bearing off, and look at the stub... I will venture it is clean, nice and round, and no problem found... your rotating part is what going to make noise.

 

hey did you ever figure out how to remove that spindle cause iam having the same prob. i replaced the bearings twice i think my spindle is messed up but i can't get the long bolt out of the sway bar is there something you have to do to get it out.
