Installation of new brake dust sheelds
Hi
I am restoring a Mazda MX3 - and I have ran into some problems.
How do I change the brake dust sheelds in front and rear?
I guess that I need to pull the hub out.
Is there something that I need to be aware of when removing the hub?
My plan is to:
Front/rear
1.Remove the center bolt at the weel
2.Jack up the Car
3.Remove the weel
4. Remove the Caliber
5. Pull out the hub, to do that I might need a hub remover
6 Install the new dust shield

You will need to remove the knuckle and press the hub out of the bearing. this will destroy the bearing 90% of the time. Since you are restoring it this would be the best time to just replace both bearings. Some auto parts stores press bearings in. Like 20 bucks labor plus the bearing.
