Best Answer

this wheel bearing is sealed and the whole bearing needs to replaced. take tire off and brake assembely. bungie cord the brake calliper out of the way and so the weight is not all hanging on the brake line. take the cap off the nut that is held by a pin. next step your problably don't have the proper tools to do. but you need to have a deep well socket that will fit that nut that's on the spindle. the hardest part will be to remove that nut. with a proper air gun and that socket you can get that off easily. once that's off take off the rotor and bearing put the back on the rotor and put back on spindle . that nut that was so hard to take off needs to torqued back on at manufacture specs put cap and pin in and put back brake assembly. i.e take cap off brake fluid so the brake callipers come off more easily and on.
