Getting Started with Wheel Bearing Sockets: A Step-by-Step Approach

Identify the correct socket: Determine the bearing size and type for your specific vehicle.

Prepare the vehicle: Lift the vehicle securely and remove the wheel.

Remove the hub assembly: Use the appropriate tools to disconnect the hub assembly from the suspension.

Install the socket: Attach the wheel bearing socket to a torque wrench or impact wrench.

Remove the bearing: Carefully remove the old bearing by applying pressure with the socket.

Install the new bearing: Lubricate the new bearing and press it into place using the socket.

Reassemble the hub assembly: Reattach the hub assembly to the suspension and tighten the bolts to specification.

Install the wheel: Place the wheel on the hub and tighten the lug nuts securely.
