Replacing the Hub Bearing
Replace the hub bearing if play occurs.
You will need a bearing puller, a snap ring plier, a punch, and a hammer.
To replace the bearing, it is convenient to use a commercially available puller for Pressing out and pressing in wheel hub bearings.
Remove the steering knuckle (see "Replacing the Steering Knuckle on a Renault Logan" above).
Clamp the steering knuckle in a vice and tap out the hub with a hammer, using a drift of a suitable diameter (e.g., a socket head).
Remove the hub.
The outer half of the inner bearing race will likely remain attached.
After removing the hub, the bearing can be reused. Unusable.
Use a puller to remove it from the hub.
If you don't have a puller, use a sharp chisel.
Carefully insert the chisel in a circle between the hub and the inner race of the bearing, being careful not to touch the hub itself, to knock off the remaining part of the bearing.
Gradually increase the thickness of the chisel.
Install the bearing puller, press out the bearing, and remove it from Knuckle.
If you don't have a puller, knock out the bearing using a drift of the appropriate diameter, as the pressed-out bearing cannot be reused.
Clean the parts and lubricate the inner surface of the knuckle seat and the outer surface of the hub with a thin layer of Litol 24 grease.
Press the new bearing until it stops in the steering knuckle.
When pressing the bearing into the steering knuckle housing, apply force to the outer race of the bearing; otherwise, the bearing may be damaged.
