On vehicles with rear disc brakes, the brake discs are removed along with the wheel hub. The rest of the removal is carried out as with drum brakes.
Pry off the oil seal at the rear in the middle of the wheel hub, remove the bearing and remove the old grease from the hub.
Pull the rings of both bearings from the middle of the wheel hub. To do this, put a brass rod in different places of the ring and knock the ring out with light hammer blows. You should pay attention to that. so as not to distort the ring.
Insert a new bearing race into the wheel hub. Put an old ring on it for protection (thick side down), so as not to damage the surface of the new ring when carefully hammering.
Drive the bearing rings in until they stop.
Pull out the old bearing ring inserted earlier for protection.
Fill the space between both bearing rings with grease, and also lubricate the rings and bearings themselves.
Insert inner ring.
Hammer the oil seal on the inside evenly with a rubber mallet.
Push on the brake drum or disc.

Slightly loosen the nut.
The gap is adjusted correctly when the thrust washer (1) behind the nut can be moved under the influence of a screwdriver with moderate pressure. Do not rest the blade of the screwdriver on the edge of the wheel hub.
If the locking pin cannot now be pushed into the crown lock, turn the nut slightly in the tightening direction.
