Kia Rio 1.3 2003 - Changing front wheel bearing #

Hi Guys

Just wondered if anyone had tackled the job of a front wheel bearing replacement on a Kia Rio. I have taken it off to find they are tapered bearings with a centre spacer. I understand this must be preloaded to certain rotaional torque setting and the spacer size be correctly selected to allow this... I am struggling with what tool to use and where to find any technical specs. Has anyone done this job successfully or best to send to Kia?

Kind Regards
Ben

Hi Ben, good luck with that

Never done one to be honest, but the procedure doesn't look too bad, you may need to get a little ingenius without the special service tools to do it though.

I've emailed you the procedure.

Regards Tony
