Attention! When installing the rear hub retainer, you must use a new control arm and lower control arm ball joint outer pivot bolt and nut and a new driveshaft to hub nut.
Removing
1. Remove the hub cap and, using a hammer and drift, drive the collar of the driveshaft mounting nut out of the driveshaft groove. Loosen the driveshaft-to-hub nut and wheel bolts.
2. Raise the rear of the car and secure it on stands.
3. Remove the corresponding rear wheel.
4. Remove the brake disc.
5. Unscrew the screws and remove the cover from the base of the lower rear suspension arm. Support the lower rear suspension arm with a jack through a block of wood.
6. Loosen the nut and remove the pivot bolt that secures the lower rear suspension arm to the hub mounting.
7. While supporting the hub retainer, unscrew the nuts and remove the pivot bolts securing the upper and lower arms to the hub retainer.
8. Unscrew the nut securing the drive shaft to the hub and remove the hub together with the fastener from the splines of the drive shaft. If the hub is firmly seated on the splines of the drive shaft, use a mallet to knock it off the drive shaft.
9. After removing the fastener with the hub from the drive shaft, using a soft wire, tie the drive shaft to the bottom of the car.
Attention! Do not allow the drive shaft to sag under its own weight, as this may damage the internal constant velocity joint of the drive shaft.

2. Align the hub retainer with the rear suspension arms and install the pivot bolts. Screw new nuts onto the pivot bolts, but do not completely tighten them.
3. Insert the rear lower arm pivot bolt to the hub retainer and screw on the new nut without fully tightening it. Lubricate the threads of the new nut with clean engine oil and thread it onto the end of the drive shaft and tighten to the specified torque. Using a hammer and drift, caulk the collar of the nut into the groove in the drive shaft.
4. Install the brake disc.
5. Install the wheels, then lower the vehicle to the ground and tighten the wheel bolts to the correct torque.
