Jeep Liberty Wheel Bearing Replacing Procedure

1. Drain ² / ₃ of the brake fluid from the front reservoir. Use the bleeder screw at the front outlet port to drain the fluid. If equipped with anti-lock brakes, relieve the system pressure.
2. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
3. Remove the wheels.
4. Remove both of the mounting bolts and lift the caliper off the rotor.
5. If the caliper is being removed, it is necessary to disconnect the brake fluid hose. Clean the brake fluid hose-to-caliper connection thoroughly. Remove the hose-to-caliper bolt. Cap or tape the open ends to keep dirt out. Discard the copper gaskets.
