Chrysler Repair: 95 LHS front wheel bearing hub replacement, front wheel bearing, o reilley


Question
I've seen a step-by-step explanation on but can't find it again. I purchased new hub assy's from O'Reilley's (auto part chain) and a 34mm deep well socket.  Do I need to purchase new 34mm hub nut?

Answer
Hi Ken,
The manual says YES.
Other tips:
Be careful when installing not to damage the "flinger"
Tighten the 3 bolts to 80 foot-pounds
Put on the NEW nut and tighten but don't torque yet
Put on wheel and tire and tighten torque to 95 in 2 steps, using brakes to hold the wheel
Using brakes, tighten NEW hub not to 120 foot-pounds.
Then lower vehicle.

(I left out caliper re-positioning etc. steps.)
