I need to remove the back right wheel, the rear brake caliper and what I do not know about yet is how to remove the rear knuckle/spindle to fix the bad wheel bearing. I am going to buy a new wheel bearing myself, and have a shop press it for me. Which is about 60$.



How do I remove the parts safely and correctly, once the brake caliper is off? How can I disconnect the parking brake from it so I can put it right back on once a new wheel bearing is pressed back into the spindle/knuckle ?

Is this for your Tib? From what I remember, the rear is an entire hub and bearing assembly. Simply remove the old and install the new. No need to press in bearings.



Fronts on the other hand do require this.



Not at my computer, but there is a site someone has posted that has all the Web tech info that hyundai stole from us!



Oh hell, I found it....
