Replacement of Rear Wheel Hub Bearing

Model: Mazda 6 MK 1, GG - Years 2002-2008
Part: Bearing

The rear wheel hub bearing is integrated into the hub itself. To replace it, proceed as follows: lift the vehicle on the ramp and remove the rear wheel, then unscrew the bolts securing the brake caliper and its support. Next, remove the fixing screw of the brake disc and the disc itself from the hub. At this point, remove the metal cap located at the centre of the hub to access the underlying nut that must be unscrewed to extract the hub itself complete with bearing. Before installing the new one, ensure that the number of teeth on the speed sensor matches and then reverse the process.

To perform this simple operation, first lift the bonnet. Then, remove the upper engine cover and the plastic side cover that protects the timing belt. To create more space for the job, you can remove components next to the engine, such as the coolant reservoir, the windscreen washer pipe, and the fuel filter. This will allow you to remove the lower engine cover and the right wheel for better access to the area where you will be working.
