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 flange. 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 fitted with more than one size of bearing.

5. OPERATION
5.1 Bearing Removal (fig.2 & fig.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-fit a
bearing once it has been removed.
5.1.2 Fit the black hub clamp (8) behind the hub flange
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 flange. Place the hub guide pins (6) though
the holes in the hub flange so that they sit against
the hub clamp (8) (fig.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.
