5. Remove the fastener retaining the steering tie rod end
to the front bearing carrier.
6. Remove and discard the two front brake caliper
mounting bolts and remove the caliper from the brake
disc (see Chapter 9).
CAUTION: Do not hang the caliper by the brake line.
Use wire to hang caliper to prevent damage to the
brake line.
7. Remove the front wheel hub assembly.
8. Remove and discard the upper and lower ball joint
pinch bolts.
9. Using a soft faced hammer, lightly tap on the bearing
carrier while removing the upper and lower ball joint
ends.
10. Remove the bearing carrier from the front drive shaft.
11. Rotate bearing by hand and check for smooth
rotation. Visually inspect bearing for moisture, dirt, or
corrosion.
NOTE: Due to extremely close tolerances and
minimal wear, the bearings must be inspected
visually, and by feel. While rotating bearings by
hand, inspect for rough spots, discoloration, or
corrosion. The bearings should turn smoothly and
quietly, with no detectable up and down movement
and minimal movement sideways between inner and
outer race.
12. Replace bearing if moisture, dirt, corrosion, or
roughness is evident.

Bearing Removal
1. Remove the outer snap ring.
2. From the back side of the bearing carrier, tap on the
outer bearing race with a drift punch in the reliefs as
shown.
3. Drive bearing out evenly by tapping on outer race
only. Once bearing is at bottom of casting, support
casting on outer edges so bearing can be removed.
4. Inspect the bearing carrier housing for scratches,
wear or damage. Replace front bearing carrier if
damaged.
