Does the 02 Elantra uses rear wheel bearings ?

The bearing and hub (rear) are one unit. Remove the hub to replace the bearing. Pretty easy. Use a 1-1/4" socket to remove, with a breaker bar....Replace the nut if possible. Torque to spec ( very critical ) and stake the nut into the groove on the spindle. No cotter pins required....ANy ques. just PM me...I have the Factory manual..

Kinda have to have a wheel bearing. Without one it makes it darn near impossible to move. . . . . now what TYPE of bearing is a different question.

Hmm. I guess I have to go look at my car to see. I guess I'm just used to GM's where there's three bolts that go through the knuckle to hold the hub/bearing assembly on...

The rear has a spindle that the hub and bearing slide onto.

If you have drum brakes you take the wheel, drum, then the 1 1/4" nut off it takes 5 minutes

If it has disc brakes you take the wheel, caliper and bracket, rotor then the 1 1/4" nut off it takes about 10 minutes.

32mm. Same as the Accent nuts. I know.

That means "Big Impact" tight.
