Remove the rear hub. Remove the hub bearing retaining snap ring from the trailing arm. Tap the hub bearing out from the hub carrier using a hammer and suitable punch. Thoroughly clean the hub carrier bore, removing all traces of dirt and grease, and polish away any burrs or raised edges which might hinder reassembly. Replace the snap-ring if there is any doubt about its condition. On reassembly, apply a light film of clean engine oil to the bearing outer race to aid installation. Place the bearing in the hub carrier and tap it fully into position, ensuring that it enters the carrier squarely, using a suitable tubular spacer which bears only on the bearing outer race. Secure the bearing in position with the snap-ring, making sure it is correctly positioned in the hub carrier groove. Install the rear hub.

This procedure is for 2 wheel drive vehicles. The wheel bearings are only removed if they are worn. They cannot be removed without destroying them. They are not periodically disassembled, repacked, and adjusted. To begin, loosen the lug bolts slightly and then raise and safely support the vehicle. Remove the front wheel(s) and the front brake caliper, caliper bracket, and brake rotor. Make sure to support the caliper and avoid putting tension on the brake hoses. Use a suitable chisel to carefully remove the metal protective cap from the hub by wedging the chisel between the cap's outer lip and the hub. Knock the tab on the collar nut away from the spindle using a chisel. Then, using a 1/2 inch drive 46mm socket and a suitable breaker bar, remove the nut by turning it counterclockwise and discard the nut. Remove the hub by hand or use a bearing puller set if necessary. If the inside bearing inner race remains on the stub axle, unbolt and remove the dust guard. Bend back the inner dust guard and pull the inner race off with a special tool. Reinstall the dust guard. To install, if the dust guard has been removed, install a new one. Install a special tool over the stub axle and screw it in for the entire length of the guide sleeve's threads. Press the bearing on. Once the hub/bearing assembly is installed, tighten the wheel hub collar nut to 213 ft. lbs. and lock the collar nut by bending over the tab into the slot in the spindle. Finally, reassemble the remaining components in reverse order of removal.

Remove the rear hub. Remove the hub bearing retaining snap ring from the trailing arm. Tap the hub bearing out from the hub carrier using a hammer and suitable punch. Thoroughly clean the hub carrier bore, removing all traces of dirt and grease, and polish away any burrs or raised edges which might hinder reassembly. Replace the snap-ring if there is any doubt about its condition. On reassembly, apply a light film of clean engine oil to the bearing outer race to aid installation. Place the bearing in the hub carrier and tap it fully into position, ensuring that it enters the carrier squarely, using a suitable tubular spacer which bears only on the bearing outer race. Secure the bearing in position with the snap-ring, making sure it is correctly positioned in the hub carrier groove. Install the rear hub.

Raise the car and support it securely. Remove the output half shaft. Remount the control arm with nuts just finger light. Remove the upper and lower attaching bolts and remove the brake caliper. Suspend the brake caliper nearby with wire. Remove the Allen bolt and remove the brake disc. Bolt special Tool No.31 2 090 or equivalent to the knuckle with its 3 bolts. Mount 33 1 307 hooked around the tie rod arm and press the drive flange off. If it is scored, pull the bearing's inner race out of the drive flange with 33 1307 and 00 7 500 or equivalent. Compress the snapring with snapring pliers and remove it. Remove 31 2 090 or the equivalent and replace 33 1307 or its equivalent with a tool such as 312 070. Install and use the combination to press out the bearing. Screw out the spindle of 312 090 and install 33 4 032 or equivalent so it is flush with the surface of 31 2 090. Use 33 4 034 and 33 4 038 to pull in the new bearing. Then, remove 31 2 090. Install the snapring again, with snapring pliers, making sure the open end faces downward. Pull the drive flange into place with 33 4 032 or equivalent, 33 4 038 or equivalent, 33 4 045 or equivalent, and 33 4 048 or equivalent. Install the brake disc, caliper, and the wheel in reverse order.

To begin, remove the rear hub and then take out the hub bearing retaining snap-ring from the trailing arm. Use a hammer and a suitable punch to tap the hub bearing out from the trailing arm. Clean the trailing arm bore thoroughly, eliminating all dirt and grease, and polish away any burrs or raised edges that could obstruct reassembly; replace the snap-ring if its condition is questionable. During reassembly, apply a light film of clean engine oil to the bearing outer race to facilitate installation. Align the bearing in the trailing arm and tap it fully into position, ensuring it enters squarely with the aid of a suitable tubular spacer that only contacts the bearing's outer race. Secure the bearing in place with the snap-ring, ensuring it is fully seated in the trailing arm groove, and finally, install the rear hub.

Adjustments to the wheel bearing should be made if it is out of specification, followed by a torque check of the lug nuts. Any worn or damaged wheel bearings should be replaced.

Raise the car and support it securely.

During reassembly, ensure all fasteners are tightened properly, use a new axle nut, and follow alignment marks on E36 models. Finally, check and adjust the rear wheel alignment if necessary to ensure proper vehicle performance.

When replacing the rear hub, the rear wheel bearing must also be replaced because removing the hub typically results in damage to the bearing. The two components are closely interconnected and are generally replaced together.

After raising the vehicle, the front wheel(s), front brake caliper, caliper bracket, and brake rotor need to be removed.

The same torque and recheck process applies as in all-wheel and four-wheel drive vehicles. Additionally, adjustments to the wheel bearing should be made if it is out of specification; if it remains loose, replacement is necessary.
