Video tutorial

After raising the vehicle on a lift, remove the front wheel that requires maintenance; detach the brake caliper from the bracket after slightly spreading the brake pads without removing them (as shown in the video); remove the brake disc by screwing two bolts into the threaded holes as a puller if it does not come off easily with a few taps of a hammer; then unscrew the central nut securing the driveshaft and pull it out of the hub; next, remove the hub's securing bolts from the bracket and extract it from its seat, also removing the dust shield.

At this point, proceed with the installation of the new hub complete with bearing in reverse order, ensuring all bolts are tightened correctly, particularly making an indentation on the driveshaft nut to prevent it from loosening accidentally.

Consider replacing the discs and pads if necessary.
