Does anyone have a link for replacing the rear wheel bearings? I've looked but cannot find any references.

 

me too.... wasting my time looking but no luck

 

if any proud owner know a place to see some pictures of rear wheel bearing replace, please email me at arj1457@hotmail.com
Best Regards for all of you guys.

 

Have you guys downloaded and installed JTIS and looked there? It should have a step by step procedure.

 

Dear "mechelement", what is JTIS. I am new on this, so I do not have any idea about JTIS.
If you can give us the link, will be helpfull.

Best Regards.

 

GOTTCHA!!!!!!!! te JTIS was GREAT, very helpfull tool. RECOMENDED for all the JAG proud owners.

 

I just did one of mine about two months ago. I too searched and there is not much on here about them.

In a nutshell....

Remove wheel
Remove brake disc
Remove parking brake shoes and hardware (keep track of how the pieces go)
Mark position of lower pivot bolt on back side (head of bolt)
Remove nut on other side, leave bolt for now
Disconnect abs sensor and probably should remove the sensor so no damage
Remove axle nut and spacer/washer
Remove pivot bolt
Take assembly to the bench or work area
Support the assembly so the hub can be removed
Find a socket that just barely fits the hub on the backside where the sensor wheel is
Gently hammer on the socket. This will cause the sensor wheel to fall out the back and the hub to fall out the front
VERY IMPORTANT to pay attention to the spacer and shim between the bearings inside, this sets the preload on the bearings. Hopefully yours is not damaged
Remove the seals from the housing and the bearings should be removed then
Bearing shim spacer bearing
Pay attention to the orientation of the spacer (it only goes one way)
Clean the housing and the hub of all the old grease and inspect for damage
Remove the old races from the housing by using a long thin drift on the back side of the race and hammer out evenly
Install new races with zero grease on it Pay very close attention to which goes where, they are easily confused. There are numbers on the back of the race that will match the new ones
Grease the bearings and install in the housing with the space and shim in between Pay very close attention to the bearings, they are numbered and should match what you took out
Install the seals
Slip the hub through and set the sensor wheel on the back.
Gently hammer or press the sensor back onto the hub
Remount everything to the car
Reinstall the brake shoes
Reinstall the rotor and caliper
Tighten a NEW axle nut with a big long socket and bar to 304 Nm
Reinstall the wheel

This is a somewhat abbreviated version but the meat and potatoes is in there. Biggest piece of advice is to TAKE YOUR TIME! There are a lot of steps and each one is crucial and builds on the next. Good luck

 

I would have posted a link, but was mobile and at work. Glad you found it though!
