Wheel Bearings

[COS]

Sorry, not sure if this thread should go here, but I need to know if the wheel bearings are separate or are the one unit with the brake rotors?
Thanks

its a seperate unit from your rotor. Once you get the wheel off, take your brkae caliper off the remove the roter, You will have to remove that axle nut from the axle and you lightly tap the axle back. and if you look on the back side of the knuckle there are four bolts that hold the hub to the knuckle. Just reove those 4 bolts and lightly tap the axle out, you will have to do some prying to get the hub out but it will come.

^ True for the front wheel hubs. If its a back hub your needing its a bit easier. Just pull off the caliper and rotor. Then remove the 4 bolts holding the hub on from the back. Once you remove the bolts the only thing holding the hub on is the rust . Just spray it with some pb blaster and whack it with a rubber mallet and it will fall right off.

What about a rear with drum brakes? Similar easy-ness to the disc brake? I have to do it on my talon soon.

Hub removal for rear drums should be the same as for the rear rotors. Knock the drum off the hub, and unbolt the hub from the knuckle.
