How do you remove a hub assembly wheel bearing?

How do you remove a hub assembly wheel bearing?

Hub Unit Bearing Removal

1. Raise vehicle and remove lug nuts and wheel.
2. Remove the brake caliper and rotor.
3. Remove the axle nut, using an axle nut socket.
4. Before removing hub unit, make a note of the proper orientation and positioning of the sensor wire and bearing.
5. Remove the steering knuckle attachment bolts.

What is the race of a bearing?

Outer Race The outer and inner race of a bearing provide the housing for which the balls in the bearing rest. A groove is cut along the inner circumference of the race so that the balls will be held in place.

What are the three types of bearings?

The most popular types of bearings are ball bearings, Tapered Roller Bearings, Ball Thrust Bearings, and Roller Thrust Bearings etc.

• Ball Bearings.
• Tapered Roller Bearings.
• Ball Thrust Bearings.
• Roller Thrust Bearing.

What type of bearings are on the front of your vehicle?

Press-fit cartridge-style wheel bearings are often used in the knuckles of front-wheel drive cars. Bolt-on hub assemblies, where the wheel bearings are sealed inside the hub, also are commonly used both front and rear on many vehicles.

How hard is a bearing race?

Bearing races are most often manufactured from 52100 steel, (bearing quality chrome steel), which is valued for its mechanical strength, high hardness and excellent wear resistance for bearing parts. Hardness is typically Rockwell C 58 to 62.

When inner race of the bearing is rotating and outer race is stationary then?

The inner race is free to rotate while the outer race is stationary. Ball bearings provide very low friction during rolling but have limited load-carrying capacity. This is because of the small area of contact between the balls and the races. They can support axial loads in two directions besides radial loads.

How tight should a bearing race be?

Here’s a mechanic’s tip on how to make a loose bearing race fit snuggly into a housing. The tolerance between their sides and the opening in the housings should be so tight that races are held firmly in place while the bearing turns freely inside them.

What bearing goes with 14276 race?

14125A bearing

What is the difference between a race and a bearing?

In the case of ball bearings, the bearing has inner and outer races and a set of balls. Each race is a ring with a groove where the balls rest. The groove is usually shaped so the ball is a slightly loose fit in the groove.

Do all bearings have balls?

Here we will examine some types of common bearings. Ball bearings are most common type of bearing and can handle both radial and thrust loads. Ball bearings are also known as deep-groove single-row or Conrad bearings. The outer ring is mounted onto the bearing housing.
