2006 HHR rear hub relacement
Hello, I am a new member and also my first post. Just ordered 2 new hubs for the rear and I was wondering if some one can give me a hand on how to replace them. ( No ABS brakes). Thank you. Dick.

Relatively simple. Just unscrew the nuts.
But there may be problems with the brake pipes. Threaded connections stuck by the long time. Use a "liquid-key" to prevent damage to pipelines.
A good reason to inspect the rear brake pads. A good reason to change the brake fluid. Is necessary to have it nearby. Do not forget to bleed the brakes after the repair.
PS. It is possible to not disassemble the brake. But is difficult to remove "iron pancakes" with brake pads.

When replacing the rear hub is not necessary to dismantle the brake. The hub is removed more easily.
There are pictures and accompanying text, unfortunately in Russian but use the translator of Google.
