Question
How do I replace a front wheel bearing on a 2001 Hyundai Coupe 1.6 please.

Answer
You must remove the drive shaft and the complete hub.Take it off the car and the new bearing will need to be pressed in by a machine shop,as the old bearing will need to be pressed out.When the new bearing/hub is ready,install on the car.You need to seperate the upper and lower suspension also.You will need some large sockets as the driveshaft nut is tight.
