97 Accent Captive rotor removal
Hi,
I need to remove/install a new set of captive rotors on my 97 Hyundai Accent. My Hayes manual does not go into detail on how to do this. Are the bearings pressed into the rotor or onto the spindle shaft? If someone could explain the disassembly of these rotors I would appreciate it. -Shaun |
Re: 97 Accent Captive rotor removal
An online version of the Hyundai shop manual for this vehicle may be
accessed online at www.dcsonline.hyundaidealer.com. Click on "Technical Info" to open "Webtech"; then enter model and year and click on "Shop". Lots of exploded diagrams, schematics, part numbers, specifications, service rules, torque values, special/common tool requirements, maintenance schedules and practical advice. Let us know how you make out. Your experience may be valuable to others. Good Luck. |
Re: 97 Accent Captive rotor removal
After reviewing webtech I have a few more questions.
It seems that webtech does not have a "rotor removal" section, instead it's apart of the wheel bearing removal process. Instead of having to remove the hub and knuckle from the strut is it possible to remove just the hub then remove the rotor and press out the bearing with a new one and a new seal and reinstall? It seems that that's more work than is needed to do the rotors on this car. Any takers? |
Re: 97 Accent Captive rotor removal
You'll need to pull the wheel hub. A ten pound slide hammer with a wheel
hub adaptor usually works well. You should only have to unbolt the axle from the hub to be able to do this (after removing the wheel). Once the hub is off the knuckle, you can unbolt the rotor and take it off the back. If you're careful not to get dirt in the bearing, you should be able to put everything back together without replacing the bearing. The bearing is pressed on the hub, not the rotor. |
Re: 97 Accent Captive rotor removal
Will I need a new seal for the bearing or is it behind the bearing in the
hub? |
Re: 97 Accent Captive rotor removal
You shouldn't. Typically, the outer bearing and seal come off with the
hub, and as long as you don't monkey with them, they can be reinstalled by bolting the hub on. |
