Lift the vehicle on a hydraulic lift and remove the front wheels; Unscrew the caliper mounting bolts and remove it; then unscrew the brake disc mounting bolt to take it off the hub; next, disassemble the wheel speed sensor and the drive shaft retaining nut; unscrew the ball joint and extract it using the appropriate puller; then slide the drive shaft out of the hub and use the appropriate puller to remove it, which will come off complete with the bearing.

Clean the hub support of any rust residues and insert the new hub complete with bearing using the appropriate tool (if you do not have this tool, disassemble the entire support and carry out the replacement with the aid of a press).

Proceed in reverse for reassembling the other components.

To reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV, inflate the tyres until they reach the correct pressure value. This value is indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
