Replacing the rear wheel bearing on the VAZ 2114
Content
If there is a constant extraneous sound (hum) from the rear wheels when driving, you should pay attention to the condition of the wheel bearing. On the VAZ 2114, this part is quite durable and it happens that the bearing travels more than 200 km, but in the case when it starts to howl, its replacement is mandatory.
In order to replace it ourselves, we need the following tool:
- Vise for more convenience
- Special puller with swivel arms
- Circlip pliers
- Wooden block
- Hammer
- Ratchet and crank
- Heads for 7 and 30 mm
At one time I did a video review on this topic, but due to the fact that at that time I did not have all the necessary tools and clutches at hand, which are very useful when performing this repair, everything did not work out quite as I wanted. But the essence of working in a garage can still be understood.

Photo report on replacing the rear hub bearing on VAZ 2114 and 2115 cars
So, first of all, you need to remove the cap of the nut of the nut and rip it off with a good wrench. Then raise the rear of the car with a jack, having first loosened the wheel bolts. And then you can completely remove the wheel.
Next, you will need remove the brake drum... It is not necessary to remove the pads, although they have already been removed in this report.
Unscrew the hub nut to the end, as shown in the photo below.
When the nut is completely unscrewed, it is also worthwhile to immediately remove the washer using a screwdriver or a magnetic handle. And now, use a puller to remove the entire hub assembly from the axle shaft:
By scrolling the puller rod, the hub slides off the axle shaft by itself and it can be completely removed without any problems:
If the inner bearing race remains on the half-shaft, which sometimes happens, you can remove it using the same puller. Then we take the hub assembly and clamp it in a vise so that the inside is facing up. And with the help of pliers, we take out the retaining ring:
And then you can turn the hub upside down:
We take a suitable drift in size and knock out the old bearing with its help. I did it with a large socket head and a wrench:
And after a short work we get the following result.
We can say that the dismantling of the bearing went well. Now we take the lubricant, and apply it in a fairly abundant amount to the inside of the hub.
And we point the new wheel bearing exactly in the center:
And in order to press in a new one exactly without distortions, it is better to use an old bearing for this purpose. When it goes deep enough, you can finally press it in.
This must be done until a groove appears for installing the retaining ring.
After that, we lubricate the axle shaft with lithol and put the hub assembly in its place. The price of a new bearing is about 300 rubles, if assembled with a hub - at least 700 rubles.
