Its easy....I just did mine on a 2000 Dodge Dakota Quad 2wd rear ABS, 4.7 Magnum

Here's how

1. The bearings in models 2000 and up are not servicable, meaning you must replace the entire hub...depending on where you buy, will determine the cost. (Range from $80 - $180 per hub/bearing.

2. Jack the vehicle up, remove tire. Remove caliper, and caliper retainer clip, slide caliper out of the way by hanging with wire or placing on top. ***Do not disconnect brake fluid line from caliper***

3. Remove rotor. It should just slide off.

4. Ensure you have replacement part before proceeding. Remove the spindle nut (Size may vary from model to model year, mine needed a 36mm socket)The hub should slide off without any difficulty.

5. Clean the spindle with a rag and replace with the new hub/bearing. replace with a new nut (Do not use old nut) and tighten to 160 - 180 ft lbs, spinning the hub as you tighten to ensure you fully seat the hub. That's it...easy

6. Replace everything else in reverse order.

        • My recommendation is to replace both left and right hub/bearings and not just do one side. Will save you time and money later down the road****
