John (jagv8) is correct. The wheel hub assembly is a 1 piece unit, held on by 4 bolts (that if corroded maybe a challenge to remove) and the speed sensor line.

Beware on the 2005's atleast, there are 2 different size hub assemblies. I had purchased 1 from Autozone and it was the incorrect part, Napa listed the same assembly as well even Viking Import Parts here in Charlotte all were to deep in length by 3/16ths of an inch. I had to go through Jaguar to get the right one and $115.00 more than the other 3 parts stores.

Rick, thanks for those pics. I had no idea you had done a wheel bearing with those miles on the car.

Seems simple enough. Unbolt the caliper, and carrier bracket. Then I assume a few more bolts.

Did your hub come with the new wheel studs pre pressed or did you have to press them in?
Is the sensor included in the hub or do you reuse the original?

I see locktite blue on the bolts, did you reuse a thread locker?

(btw, are those 2pc Jag lug nuts on the ground next to your car?).

George

Yes we had quite the laundry list to repair on ours, that had a 128 point inspection by the "converted gas station" dealer and was mechanically purrrrfect.

Yes the studs and sensor wire are included even came with new sensor wire hold downs ($345.00). The aftermarkets I tried first were around $230.00. You nailed it, its 4 more bolts after removing the brake caliper, simple job, one that I did in my bathrobe.

I use anti-vibe rather than loctite, the blue loctite was already on it from the previous owner. As far as the lug nuts, good eye, we owned the vehicle about 5 days when I had to replace the hub. The wheels, brakes, wheel liner now are pretty much spotless! As Riski would say "nicey nice"!
