The inner ring size (landing) is 37 millimeters. The outer diameter is 72 millimeters. The width is 37 millimeters. These parameters are applicable for both types of cars - with and without ABS.

"Renault Logan" is installed on the lift. If you do not have one, you need to hang a part of the body with a jack (on the side where you need to change the element). Previously, you need to break the hub nut by 30 key. Important point - the car should not stand on the handle (if possible, install the anti-rollers). Then the brake drum is disassembled . After passing to the lock ring. Since it fits snugly in the hole, it needs to be screwed with a screwdriver.

Next, remove the cap of the hub bearing. Using a stripper, the crumbling element is pressed out. Further, the inner cavity of the hub is cleaned of contaminants. You can use a piece of rag and any solvent. Further, this place is carefully treated with lithol. Since the lubricant is quite thick, it is recommended to apply it with a screwdriver or a wooden chip.

A new bearing is then pressed into the seat. Assemble the elements in the reverse order.

The important point - the hub nut is screwed with a force of 175 Nm. Tighten the element so that there is a slight backlash of 1 degree. Pressing itself is done with the load on the outer ring of the bearing. It is important not to break the clip during installation. Otherwise, it can crumble on the first turn.

This can be done with a standard set of keys and heads. After removal, the swivel fist is clamped into the vise. Next, using a hammer, you must carefully knock out the hub. In order not to damage the element, use a mandrel of the appropriate diameter. Having taken the hub, we will find on it a part of the inner ring. We also change it to a new one.

Further, the bearing is removed, followed by its replacement and installation. As in the previous case, the seat is thoroughly cleaned and treated with lithol. The nest of the fist is also covered with grease. After installing the part, the hub is pressed as far as it will go. The inner ring is supported by the stand. The rotary cam is installed in the reverse order. After the work is done, check the installation and the reliability of pressing the elements.
