Remove the wheel, then the brake caliper, then the brake rotor. Then your wheel hub should be exposed. Probably 3 bolts holding it on. Get the bolts loose. If the hub is frozen, give it some firm blows with a 3# sledge and chisel on each side until it pops off. Installation is reverse of removal.



You'll have to replace the entire wheel hub, they don't make it the old school way anymore with servicable bearings. Probably looking at $40-$60 for the part.How to change the rear wheel bearing on a Tiburon?All done. Runs great!

If they are bolted on, this is simple, ... Well just follow the other persons instructions
