Howdy Folks,
Looking for insight for pulling the wheel hub for a 91 Lebaron because of a broken wheel stud.
The car is front wheel drive with disk brakes.
The wheel hub has a keeper covering the bolt which is cotter pin inplace.
I can see how to take it a part, but I need to know how to reset that hub bolt. is it torqued on to a certain setting? Is there anything else I should know before taking it a part?
Thanks for everything.
Sam
This place rocks for learning

I would suggest replacing the entire hub if you're going to take it apart.

thanks for the reply..
can you give me some insight for taking it apart and what to expect?

Well, that depends. Do you know if your car has pressed bearings or a bolt on hub bearing assembly?

Well here we go...
The hub is held on by a large gland nut then a spring washer, bolt keeper and finally a cotter pin. The book shows torque spec's of 180 foot pounds for resetting the hub.
Thats as much as I know at this point.
Thanks again
Sam
PS. this is my first front end on an American car. But I've done lots of work on Nissans and VW's
Once that gland nut is removed..do I need to use a slap hammer or puller for removing the hub?
Also... are these bearings sealed mech. or tappered bearings. I suspect it's gonna be a flat bearing because the gland nut is torqued on, but I thought I should ask.

It sounds like you have a bolt in assembly. Once you remove the gland nut all that's holding the the HUB on are four bolts in the back of the knuckle. Also, make sure to support the axle.

Thanks so much for the info.
Anything else I should look for..
pitfalls... possible hang up spots.

If you've removed a half shaft before it will be pretty straight forward.

Job is all done...
it all came apart nicely
repacked bearings
went back together without a hitch
Thanks so much for the support

No problem. Glad to hear it went smoothly.
