Wheel Assembly

Wheel Assembly
How do you replace the rear wheel hub assembly on a 1998 kia sephia with drum brakes?

first take the hubcaps off if you have some, of they are stick kia hubcaps, they are helf on by the lugs,take the lugs off then the cap, then snug the lugs back and and let the car back down on the ground take the dust cap off of the hub before you put the wheel back on. then loosen the hub nut with a breaker bar 1 1/4 socket will fit perfect, dont worry about unstake the nut it will do it on its own, i would suggest getiing a new axle nut,, if not no problem just make sure you restake the nut with a hammer and punch or just use a screw driver you can give the drum a whack with a slegde hammer to loosen it and take it off or you can remove the whole assmbly and pound the drum off after instrallation is the reverse of removal.
