Including the five lug nuts, there are a total of 13 nuts/bolts that are removed and then replaced when changing a hub. Jack up and support the car. Remove the wheel (5 lugnuts). Remove the caliper (two bolts). Remove the rotor. Remove the caliper bracket (2 bolts). Remove the hub (disconnect wss and 4 bolts). Installation is the same process in reverse. Be sure to torque and use blue locktite on the 9 bolts that secure the hub, caliper breacket and caliper. Total time using hand tools 45 min-1 hr. Note: Some people leave the caliper attached to the bracket, but this can make slipping the cliper and pads back over the rotor a bit more difficult ( a matter of personal preference).
