Depends On Vehicle. If Its A Car Or Truck & Not 4X4. You Will Need To Raise Vehicle & Put Good Jack Stands Under It. First Loosen Lug Nuts, Put Stand Under Car. Remove Tire.Next Remove Disc Brake Caliper & Pads. Tie Caliper Up To Frame So It Will Not Pull Down On Brake Hose. Again Depending On Vehicle Yours May Allow Rotor To Be Removed Without Hub. Remove It ( Should Just Pull Off Over Lug Bolts). If Its On The Hub Or Not. Remove Grease Cap. In Center Of Hub. Remove Cotter Pin FroM Castle Nut. Remove Castle Nut With Channel Lock Pliers. Remove Hub. Remove Grease Seal On The Back Of Hub. Take Out The Inner & Outer Bearings. Then Take A Drive Bar Knock Out The Inner Bearing Races Front & Rear. Clean Up Surfaces.

How do you replace a wheel bearing on a Volvo s40?
This depends on if you are replacing the front or rear wheel bearings. The front wheel bearings require that you remove the brake caliper and disc assemblies (this is required for the rear bearings as well) You will also need to remove the front driveshaft from the hub, after which the hub will unbolt and can be removed from the vehicle. S40's have the annoying habit of having the driveshafts rust into the hub, so you may have some difficulty with that. The rear hub assemblies are also removed in a similar way, except you don't have to remove the driveshaft as it wont have one! If you are replacing the bearings with genuine Volvo units they should come as a whole hub assembly, in which case all you have to do is bolt the new units in and off you go. However if you are just replacing the bearings themselves, you'll require the use of a heavy duty bech press to remove the bearings from the housing.

How do you go about replacing ball bearing front wheel bearings?
It wasn't specified what the model year this is or which "S" series was asked about, but on my 2001 SL1 the ONLY way to replace the front bearings is removing the front wheel bearing assemblies then taking them, and the new bearings, to a machine shop to have the old bearings pressed out and the new bearings pressed in. Then reattach the hub assemblies to the car. The wheels will also need to be realigned after having to unbolt the front struts to remove the bearing assemblies.

Replacing front wheel bearings on a front-wheel drive vehicle requires a good knowledge of vehicle service. Normally, you do not need special tools, but there is a special procedure for removing and re-torquing an axle spindle nut. Never reuse a spindle nut!!!!
