Need a list of what i need in order to make repair and how to do it. Thank You!How do i change the Wheel Bearings on a 2005 Kia Rio and what do i need?
Front, rear, all? Four wheel drive? Some bearings just bolt on to the spindle, others are nutted to an axle. But all you would need are the bearings. If it is four wheel drive you will need an axle nut socket and a torque wrench.How do i change the Wheel Bearings on a 2005 Kia Rio and what do i need?
Firstly you need the skill and knowledge to do it!!!



A wheel bearing was actually the first mechanical job I undertook on my own, haven't looked back since lol!



Seriously, a good tool kit to start with, jacks, axle stands, socket set, spanners, screwdrivers, torque wrench, bearing puller\press (yes it can be done without puller (maybe) but you need ALOT more skill!) All of good quality not cheap Chinese crap.

A friend of mine recently bought a cheap tool kit, I was able to BEND most of the spanners\screwdrivers BY HAND!!



No way can someone tell you' how to do it' online. I gotta say the mere fact of the way you asked (not enough details, and the actual question) points to you not be capable to carry out the work without help\unsupervised!



You need to study some mechanical principles, vehicle mechanics, throw in a bit of engineering.



Start by getting a 'workshop' book for that vehicle, they actually show\tell you what must be done. The trouble is when you come across a 'problem' you will not know how to overcome it! Get assistance.



Don't mean to sound negative, I went to college to learn B4 I started. Even in my workshop will lots of equipment around me I have hit a snag that has taken hours\days to overcome!



It can be done, just get qualified help, remember as with most vehicle mechanics a mistake can be\often is life threatening!
I believe that vehicle has bearing that are pressed into the hub. If that's the case then you need to let a shop do it, or take the knuckles off and take them to a shop/machine shop
