DIY on Wheel/Hub Removal????
I have searched using different key words and have yet to find anything for the GS. I need to replace a rear wheel bearing that has gone bad, but need some direction. I know I will have to have a shop press the old one out and put a new in. I just need to get the hub assembly off to take it to them. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Remove the upper control arms and lower control arms off the car along with the traction rod. Then remove brake caliper and parking brake if it's the rear. Then remove cotter pin that secures the axle nut onto the hub. Then remove axle nut while slightly tapping the axle off the hub with a rubber mallet and pull everything off.

I'm not sure which size it is as I have a complete set that goes up to 35mm. But if I'm not mistaken, it's either 32mm or 34mm since one of those socket was what I used for my supra when I changed out the rear subframe. Also, go to autozone or any parts store and they'll loan you the tool for free. Make sure to pick up new cotter pin since you don't want to reuse the old one. You'll also need a ball joint seperator or pitman arm puller and a can of PB plaster to use on the stubborn bolts and nuts. Lastly, the axle lock nut is torque down to 147 lb/ft. Send me a PM with your email address and I'll send you a copy of the service manual with all the torque specs and parts diagram.

eman88....
I have not replaced any rotors. I also checked and to see what could be rubbing and there are no signs what so ever...
Im starting to get one idea... Maybe the hub is rubbing against the hub carrier/spindle/knockle. I dont know exactly how the hub mounts onto the carrier and how the bearing holds everything in. I know forsure that a large bearing gets pressed into the middle of the hub, but how does the hub get mounted onto the carrier(spindle/knockle). I would think the hub is mounted onto the carrier by bolts but couldnt find any.
When i took the whole carrier/spindle/knockle assembly off of the car. I can spin the actual hub. It spins freely and kinda grinds a little. So its definitely something wrong with the bearing. now what i dont understand is, if the hub is spinging, then there must be two bearings total in the assembly. One between the carrier and hub. and one in the middle of the hub where the axle slides in.
can anyone point me into the right direction here?
thanks
