Nuances design
The hubs are details of the wheels, and without them, the normal movement of the car becomes simply impossible. In order to understand and learn to remove the hubs from the wheels, it is necessary to begin to understand their designs, so to speak, the device. On both sides of the hubs there are holes, one of which is intended for landing on the shaft, and the second for the wheeled landing. Sometimes it happens that there is a need to remove the hub, and there are also a number of reasons for this.
Most often there is a need to remove the hub when some detail, the bearing type came into disrepair or failed. It is necessary to immediately note that the principle of removal of the part in virtually all cars is identical, but despite this, in some brands of cars this process is a bit, but differs from the standard process of removal items, and all these nuances are caught to know anyone who is going to remove the wheel hub .
The first thing you must remember is that the safety technique must be respected anyway, it may depend on both your health and the integrity of the car. The main function of the part under consideration is the transmission of torque from the crankshaft (its axis) directly to the wheels of the car. The brake-type discs are also attached to this detail.
The direct rotation of the wheel occurs on the hub bearing, which means that the safe movement of transport is ensured by this item. It happens that during the replacement of the wheels, the part in question occurs. The reason for this situation is the pulled hub bolts that are located on the car wheels when it happens, the probability of breakdown is quite large.
If the driver hears some unpleasant and incomprehensible sound, outgoing from the bearing, check, most likely, the hub requires repair, but most often, even replacement. It should be understood that it is necessary to twist the car wheel, it is impossible to twist either very much, nor weakly, everywhere there should be a golden middle. In this case, the ideal option will be the use of a wrench that works from electricity. The use of this unit will provide you with the very golden middle, so that in this case there will be no problems and problems.

- key for removing and spinning car wheels
- corkscrew ball type
- set of heads
And do not forget about the most important tool - jack. In this case, you must use a reliable unit, because your safety will depend on this during the process under consideration.
If you know what a car is and from which it consists, then it will not be much difficult to remove the hub for you. The only thing that needs to be remembered is that the bearing is not a solid spare part enough, and it is necessary to delay it carefully, counting its strength, otherwise it is very easy to damage this item.
Detailed instructions in the process under consideration:
- First you need to lift the car, for this you need to use a jack or in case of its absence, tripods are suitable.
- The next step is to remove the cap, which is attached for decorative purposes.
- Gently unscrew the nuts on which to hold on wheels.
- Brake type drums will need to be removed if there are in stock, do not forget about brake discs.
- The next part that needs to be removed is a brake caliper (not in all models of the car it is).
- Now, you need to turn the flange carefully, but it should not be forgotten that you need to combine the hubs with the available bolts (they also have to unscrew).
- Do not forget to unscrew all the bolts, and you need to do it very carefully.
- And only when you unscrew the fastening of the brake pads, you can remove the hub, that is, to achieve the desired result.
It may seem that the process in question will take a lot of time and will need a lot of strength, but in fact, it is not. In practice, this process will not take more than half an hour, so if you need to remove the hub, you should not turn to a hundred, because everyone can cope with this work, even a beginner in this matter.
In the event that there is no car lock in the automotive transport, then it will be impossible to remove the hub from the machine without special equipment and the appeal will be needed for help.
For those who do not know, you can also remove the hub with wheels located ahead. There are nuances here, and the first of them is the need to remove the wheels themselves, after which the sensor disassemble is required, and only after that it will become an affordable removal of a locking type plate. As soon as the fastening bolts are unscrewed, you need to weaken the lock nut and only after that, you can get to the hub.
