Here are the steps for replacing the rear wheel bearing on a Sunny: 1. Park the car on a flat surface and release the parking brake. Secure the other three wheels with bricks or stones placed in front and behind them. Use a jack to lift the vehicle. 2. Remove the tire, brake pads, and caliper. Secure the caliper to the shock absorber strut with wire. Remove the caliper bracket. When removing the caliper, if the hydraulic piston is pressing the brake pads tightly, use a hammer handle or screwdriver to push the hydraulic piston back (the repair manual suggests using a C-clamp). 3. Use a T25 tool to remove the brake disc retaining screws and then remove the brake disc. 4. Use a 34mm deep socket to remove the wheel axle retaining nut. (It is essential to use a 34mm deep socket or a heavy-duty socket, as standard wrenches or spanners won’t work.) 5. Disconnect the ABS plug. 6. Remove the wheel bearing by loosening the three 13mm retaining bolts. 7. Place a wooden block against the wheel axle and gently tap the block to remove the wheel bearing. (The manual recommends using a three-jaw puller, but a simpler method is to gently tap with a wooden block. Avoid excessive force, as it may misalign the strut and affect wheel alignment.)
