How to replace the Wheel Bearing and Wheel Hub on the BMW Z3?

Raise the car and support it securely. Remove the output half shaft. Remount the control arm with nuts just finger light. Remove the upper and lower attaching bolts and remove the brake caliper. Suspend the brake caliper nearby with wire. Remove the Allen bolt and remove the brake disc. Bolt special Tool No.31 2 090 or equivalent to the knuckle with its 3 bolts. Mount 33 1 307 hooked around the tie rod arm and press the drive flange off. If it is scored, pull the bearing's inner race out of the drive flange with 33 1307 and 00 7 500 or equivalent. Compress the snapring with snapring pliers and remove it. Remove 31 2 090 or the equivalent and replace 33 1307 or its equivalent with a tool such as 312 070. Install and use the combination to press out the bearing. Screw out the spindle of 312 090 and install 33 4 032 or equivalent so it is flush with the surface of 31 2 090.

BMW Z3 Wheel Hub

The Z3 Wheel Hub attaches the wheels to the suspension while allowing them to rotate. This gives the BMW Z3 a good road feel and safety. Nestled between the drive axle and brake rotor, the assembly contains hardened roller bearings and frequently an ABS sensor, enabling the Z3 to accurately monitor wheel speed. Across the production run, three principal hub formats emerged. The unit style is the commonly applied one. Hence, the Wheel Hub and bearing arrive as a sealed block that is swapped out as a single unit. Consequently, this is perfect for later BMW sports cars which have a premium placed on quick service times. Some early or front-mounted fitments use a hub unit that can be pressed apart once the steering knuckle is removed. Hence, thanks to this, Z3 cars retain their original studs with only the bearing being renewed. The non-driven rear setups might use a Wheel Hub fitted with opposed tapered roller bearings and have excellent BMW balance under acceleration. Each Wheel Hub, regardless of type, bolts on securely with the exact torque so that every Z3 corner attacks with confidence. This concentration is consistent with BMW quality. The Wheel Hub is essential for maintaining optimal performance.
