1. Loosen the union nut of the wheel brake cylinder from the back of the brake shield (on drum brakes) or remove the brake caliper. Collect the leaking brake fluid.
2. Unscrew the brake shield with brake shoes or shield (on disc brakes) from the hub axle and set aside without damaging the handbrake cable.
3. From the bottom of the hub axle, unscrew the transverse and longitudinal arm bolt and loosen both bolts that secure the hub axle to the bottom of the shock absorber strut. Also disconnect the anti-roll bar to allow more freedom of movement when working. Check the hub axle for wear at the bearing points, check the seal seating surfaces and threads.
4. Installation is carried out in the reverse order, taking into account the following points:
5. Place the hub axle on the shock absorber strut without tightening it and place a lift under the shock absorber strut. Raise the shock absorber strut while it is under tension (the body will rise slightly from the supports) and tighten the bolts and nuts as shown illustrations tightening moments when the wheels are on the ground.
6. Install the brake shield and tighten the bolts to 33-45 N·m. Tighten crosswise. Be careful not to stain the brake pads. Install the caliper on disc brakes.
7. Install the wheel hub as described in Section Rear hubs and hub bearings.
8. Connect the brake line and bleed the brakes as described in Section Bleeding the brakes.

9. Lower the vehicle onto its wheels and tighten the bolts and nuts of the transverse and longitudinal arms to the specified values illustrations tightening moments.
