How do you change the wheel bearings on a 1987 Isuzu Trooper in the rear left side?

Answer 1

I am in the process of doing the same on the right rear bearing. Mine is a 1999 trooper and the bearings are in the bearing housing. You have to remove the wheel, brake rotor, parking brake assembly, ABS sensor, and parking brake cable. Then there are four bolts that hold the bearing housing to the axle housing. Once those bolts are out, you can pull the whole axle shaft out . The problem is getting the bearings and ABS position part off the axle and out of the housing. I took mine to a machine shop and 30,000 pounds of pressure could not get them out. The dealership suggests bringing it to them and they heat the abs position collar with a torch to expand it while applying pressure. Fun to the the rear end off, but the pros need to actually replace it.
