Rear hub bearings and tools needed
I am thinking of replacing the rear hub bearing assemblies and brake discs on a 2004 2.5 X-type and am trying to check that I have all the tools needed. I see from the JTIS CD that the ABS wheel speed sensor will need to be removed and that the bolt appears to be torx or similar. Does it require a special tool or just a torx or other proprietary socket? If the latter, does anybody know what size? I am thinking of trying to remove the hubs with a large Sykes Pikavant 3-legged hydraulic puller (of good quality), but wonder if I need the bolt-on type puller instead. Clarke sell a cheap one for 5 stud hubs. Grateful for any tips.

they usually come out pretty easy .. never used a puller on the x type .. always had air .. either torx 30 or 40 can't remember .. then you need i think a torx 40-50 to remove the bolts that hold in the hub.. the socket goes thrubiggest hole,same holeto remove the bolts.. then you wud turn it for the next bolt..

RE: Rear hub bearings and tools needed
Thanks for the tips. Just one more naive question.I was a little surprised at how tight the JTIS CD said the main hub nut should be on replacement. Is doingthenutup tight, and locking it,all there is to re-assembly? I was thinking about bearing end-float and the risk ofdamaging bearings through over-tightening, but I suppose that with an integrated hub assembly this is all taken care of. Or is it?

The JTIS CD says the nut connecting the hub to the half-shaft should be torqued to 330Nm (about 243 lb-ft). Does that sound about right? The other thing that occurred to me which isn't on the CD is that I presumably would need to put in grease. Or are these hub units pre-greased? Thanks for your input.
