Step 8...tap off the locking tab on the lock washer located on the wheel hub this washer locks the 46mm hub nut in position (hammer and punch or screwdriver).

Step 9...loosen the 46mm nut that holds the hub in position this nut is tight don’t be scared to give it some. (46mm socket).
Step 10...the hub and bearing assembly will now pull off the stub axle it might need a little persuasion but it will come fairly easy, you will probably find that there is a round cover thats left in place after the hub is removed, this also needs to come off its easier to follow the next step then remove the cover.
Step 11...you now need to remove the back plate by loosening the 3 small 10mm bolts, and pulling it over the above mentioned round cover. (10mm socket and ratchet 3/8th drive).
Step 12...now remove the round cover using a hammer and punch. you can see the cover in the picture below.

Step 13...clean the stub axle and check for any damage or burring, the stub axle can be cleaned up using a medium grade emery tape quite safely if you have any burring.
Step 14...you are now ready to refit the new bearing/hub assembly, you might think this is extreme but I warm the assembly up by placing it in a pre-heated oven for 15 minutes at 180 degrees, its also a good time for a cuppa tea at this point.
Step 15...VERY IMPORTANT NOW REFIT THE BACK PLATE BEFORE FITTING THE HUB/BEARING ASSEMBLY.
Step 16...slip your warmed hub assembly over the stub axle might be a bit awkward but it will go a dead blow hammer is also useful at this point.
Step 17...refit the new lock washer and 46mm nut and tighten up the torque is approx. 290Nm, once its tight knock the lock tab/washer over to secure the nut in place. You will also need to use the 2 wheel studs and steel bar to lock the hub against the ground to tighten the nut.
Step 18...refit your brake disc and use a drop of stud lock if you like on the 2 cap screws to secure it.
Step 19...refit the brake calliper and secure.
Step 20...refit the new domed cover.
Step 21...refit the wheel and hand tighten.
Step 22...jack up car and remove the axle stands. Lower car and tighten your wheel.
Step 23...check security of your wheel after a short drive.
