First get rid of the boot on your vehicle's heel if you have one, handle the driveaxle nut, undo wheel lug nuts, lift up your vehicle's front end, and put it on strong jackstands. Remove the wheel and the driveaxle hub nut. Take off the brake hose bracket fasteners from the strut and steering knuckle, detach the brake caliper and suspend it with a wire, undo the caliper mounting bracket, then take off the brake disc. Climb inside the
Wheel Hub to take the tie-rod end loose from the steering knuckle. For Legend models, disconnect the top joint from the top balljoint of the steering knuckle. Lift the knuckle and hub with both hands while positioning a wire loop underneath to hold up the driveaxle, to avoid hurting the driveaxle's inner joint. The bearings in the steering knuckle hub must be replaced by a dealership or repair shop using specific tools they have, since they need expert know-how to press out worn bearings. Let the driveaxle pass through the hub's splined hole as you move the steering knuckle into place before applying a tiny amount of wheel bearing grease to the axle's splines. On Legend cars, connect the upper end of the knuckle to the upper arm balljoint and tighten the balljoint stud nut to its correct tightness. On Legends, attach the knuckle balljoint on the bottom to the lower arm. Attach brake disc, caliper mount, and caliper. Then connect bracket(s) that holds the brake hose. Tighten the driveaxle nut firmly into place. Place your tire with the wheel nuts, lower your car, and tighten the nuts until they reach the required force. Squeezing the axle nut tightly to the right torque value is necessary. Take your car to an alignment shop and get them to check and, if needed, fix the front-wheel alignment.
