Replacing Car Wheel Bearings

Model: Fiat Punto MK 2, 188 - Years 1999-2011
Part: Bearing

This guide explains how to change your car's wheel bearing without needing to take it to a mechanic, saving you some money. Wheel bearings are spherical and relate to the car's suspension, located on the drum or brake disc, which helps reduce friction when the vehicle is in motion. When starting the replacement, loosen and then remove the wheel bolts, lifting the wheel with the aid of a jack. Next, unscrew the bolts and remove the wheel, and also detach the brake caliper using a socket wrench or screwdriver. Once the caliper is removed, take off the metal cap. Inside, you will find the retaining clip that needs to be unscrewed with a pair of pliers. Once this is done, you can install the new wheel bearings.
