Dodge Repair - Replacing 2007 Grand Caravan Wheel Bearing


Expert: Kevin - 9/7/2009

Question
Hello~  I am in need of some help.  I have to replace the drivers side rear wheel bearing on my 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan.  I cannot seem to get it off.  Do you have any instructions on how to remove it?  Thank you

Answer
REMOVAL


NOTE:  Replacement of the Unit III front hub/bearing assembly can be normally done without having to remove the steering knuckle from the vehicle. In the event that the hub/bearing is frozen in the steering knuckle and cannot be removed by hand, it will have to be pressed out of the steering knuckle. The steering knuckle will require removal from the vehicle to allow the hub/bearing assembly to be pressed out of the steering knuckle. (Refer to 02 - Front Suspension/Front/KNUCKLE, Steering - Removal)  
1. Raise vehicle. (Refer to 04 - Vehicle Quick Reference/Hoisting - Standard Procedure)  
2. Remove wheel lug nuts, and front tire and wheel assembly.

3. Remove the cotter pin, nut lock and spring washer from the stub axle Fig. 1 .

4 - SPRING WASHER  


4. With aid of a helper applying the brakes to keep the front hub from turning, remove the hub nut Fig. 1 .

5. Remove disc brake caliper and adapter as an assembly from knuckle as shown Fig. 2 . Hang assembly out of the way using a bungee cord or wire. Do not allow caliper hang by brake hose.

6. Remove brake rotor from hub and bearing Fig. 2 .
7. Push in on end of driveshaft stub shaft, pushing its splines out of the hub splines.

8. Remove the four hub and bearing mounting bolts from the rear of steering knuckle Fig. 3 . Use care not to come in contact with and damage the ABS tone wheel on the driveshaft stub shaft upon bolt removal.
