These tools are designed to remove and install front wheel drive front wheel bearings. It is not necessary to remove the knuckle assembly from the vehicle, and, as a result, front wheel alignment is not altered.
Vehicle Setup
1. Raise the vehicle until all weight is off the front wheels, and they hang freely.
2. Remove the following components: • front tires • axle nut • outer tie rod nut and tie rod • disc brake caliper – use a wire (or OTC No. 7661 caliper hanger set) to hold caliper out of the way and prevent damage to brake hose • brake rotor • loosen the lower ball joint from the steering knuckle assembly
3. Lubricate the forcing screw in the tool set.
Using the HubTamer (item numbers refer to the parts list on page 1)
1. Prepare the vehicle by removing the components listed above in Vehicle Setup.
2. Separate the lower ball joint from the spindle assembly.
3. Mount a hub puller (OTC No. 7208A; not included) on the vehicle hub assembly as shown in Figure 1. Apply force to the forcing screw until the axle can be removed as shown in Figure 2. Use wire to tie the axle out of the way; do not let it hang free.
