The bearing has a signal disk for the wheel speed sensor, take care not to damage the disk (if any) when installing the bearing

Remove

Remove the steering knuckle.

Pushing the hub out of the bearing: 1 - puller

Using a press, press the hub out of the bearing, placing a mandrel with an outer diameter of 36.5 mm on it, and a puller under the steering knuckle (Fig. 1).

Pushing the hub out of the steering knuckle

You can, of course, clamp the steering knuckle in a vise and knock out the hub with a suitable mandrel (Fig. 2)

Pressing out of the hub of the inner ring of the bearing: 1 - puller

We press the inner ring of the bearing out of the hub using a puller.

Install the jaws of the puller into the groove of the wheel bearing inner race and remove it.

Remove the bearing circlip.

Removing the bearing outer race

Remove the outer ring of the bearing by resting a piece of pipe with an outer diameter of 65 mm against the inner ring (Fig. 4).

Do not use the probe holder (if installed) as a support.

Replacing the Renault Megane 2 front hub bearing

You can use a puller (Fig. 5)

Installation

Do not move the vehicle with the wheels not installed in the hubs and the drive shafts not tightened to the required torque, as this can lead to the destruction of the wheel hub bearings and damage to the ABS signal disc.

Be sure to check the condition of the hub surface and knuckle bore before installing the bearing. Replace the damaged steering knuckle.

Clear:

  • - inner and outer surfaces of the new bearing in contact with the steering knuckle and the hub;
  • - surfaces of the steering knuckle in contact with the new bearing;
  • - hub surfaces in contact with the new bearing.

Install the sensor holder.

Installing the wheel speed sensor holder

If the vehicle is equipped with a wheel speed sensor, position the sensor holder at an angle X - 35° ±5° from the vertical axis of the steering knuckle: this position corresponds to the center of the seat (Fig. 4).

Primary fitting of a bearing

To press the bearing, install a mandrel with an outer diameter of 70 mm on the outer ring (Fig. 7).

In order not to damage the bearing, do not lean on the inner ring, as the pressing force of the bearing is very high.

Install the bearing circlip.

Re-pressing the bearing

To press the bearing, install a mandrel with an outer diameter of 50 mm on the inner ring (Fig. 8).

Install the steering knuckle assembly with the hub and bearing on the car.
