Typically, changing the bearings of your car is not a task you do yourself, and you rely on your trusted mechanic. However, if you want to save some money, DIY is not impossible.

This guide shows you how to do it. The bearings, specifically, are spherical and relate to the car's suspension, located on the drum or also called 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 a jack.

Next, unscrew the bolts and remove the wheel, and also remove the brake caliper using a socket or screwdriver. Once the caliper is removed, you must also take off the dust cover, also known as the cap.

The Service light, depicted as a yellow spanner, illuminates as scheduled to remind the driver that it is time for scheduled maintenance. This means that the set mileage has been reached, or the expected time has passed. The procedure involves turning on the instrument cluster, pressing the accelerator three times, and then turning off the ignition. After this, keep the brake pressed, turn the ignition back on, and then turn it off again. Upon the next ignition, you will notice that the light has been reset.
