Default Replace hub/rotor "how to"?

I'll be replacing the front hubs and rotors on my AU this weekend.

It's a simple job but if you guys think that a "how to" will be of future assistance I'll take a few pics and word one up.

Thoughts?

Yes please. My front hubs are "woooshing", so I think they will be up for replacement soonish.

Agreed. I suspect my front right will need replacing soon also!

All the best with it!

ok guys, I'll get on it.

As a matter of interest, mine is the front right also.

It started on our way to Kempsey as a "shh, what's that noise I can just hear?" to a scenario where we had to stick our heads out the window and shout at each other across the top of the roof.... well, almost...

FALCONSR:- I won't replace rear hubs until required but I have rear slotted rotors to install. The way my time is looking it'll be a few weeks before I get to them...

Wait till you find them ceased on to the shaft and after you use a puller the hub comes away and leaves behind an inner bearing ring ceased solid to the shaft. happened to both mine and have been told it's common. Good news is I got it down pat to free up the inner ring. 2nd one took 50mins from jack under to jack away.

I've got 3 different sized angle grinders, a variety of cold chisels, plus oxy if needed, so if the inner is seized the "how to" will be a few sentences longer, lol.
