Hey all,

Im taking off the rear hub from my mk5 fiesta and there seems to be 4 bolts holding it in place, would like to ask a few q's, firstly is it pretty straight forward to remove the rear hub? and what type of socket would i require to remove these 4 bolts and what size?

Thanks in advance to everybody.

Regards

may i ask first why are you removing the rear hub?

when i was investigating a grinding noise from the rear when i was braking, i jacked the car up and took the rear wheel off and drum off, and unfortunately i didnt have any axle's stands and thought i could get away with jacking the car up and having a quick butchers at it without axle stands. How wrong i was as the jack collapsed and took the stub with it and now only option is to replace it. Its a lesson learnt.

Once bolts are out give the back of the hub a whack with a mallet and it will come off.
