Instructions for Removing the Front Wheel Hub

Model: Mazda Cx 7 MK 1 - Years 2006-2012
Part: Bearing

If you hear a noise coming from the front wheel that increases especially in corners, the bearing at the centre of the hub is likely damaged: to replace it, you must remove the wheel hub itself and then use a press for the extraction and insertion of the bearing; lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands and remove the front wheel; take off the retaining nut of the driveshaft and the brake caliper complete with bracket; then remove the speed sensor and finish removing the ball joint of the suspension arm and the bolts securing the shock absorber to the hub support.
