Bear the H230’s rear weight: The hub carries a large portion of the vehicle’s weight (especially when loaded with passengers or cargo) and distributes it evenly to the rear wheel. This prevents the rear axle from bending and keeps the wheel aligned straight during driving.
Transfer power to the rear wheel: For the H230’s rear-wheel-drive (or front-wheel-drive with rear support) setup, the hub connects to the axle shaft. When the engine sends power to the rear axle, the hub spins with the shaft—turning the rear wheel and moving the car forward.
Secure rear brake components: The hub’s flat mounting face holds the H230’s rear brake drum (or disc, if equipped). When you press the brake pedal, the brake shoes/pads clamp onto the drum/disc (attached to the hub), which slows the hub—and thus the rear wheel—bringing the car to a stop.
Fits These: All Brilliance H230 variants (matches rear axle diameter, brake component type, and wheel bolt pattern—confirm with VIN).
Won’t Fit These:
Other Brilliance models: Like H220, H330, or V3—different rear axle sizes, brake designs, or bolt patterns (hub can’t attach or work).
Non-Brilliance vehicles: Even if the hub looks similar, their axle bore and wheel bolt holes differ (no functional fit; may damage the rear axle).
H230 with modified rear chassis: Aftermarket rear axle swaps or big-brake kits change the hub’s required specs—original hub won’t fit (leaves gaps or blocks brakes).
Prep: Safely lift the H230, remove the rear wheel and brake drum/disc, then disconnect the rear axle nut (using a torque wrench to avoid damaging the axle).
Remove old hub: Techs pull the old hub off the rear axle (clean rust from the axle first—rust causes sticking), then inspect the axle and wheel bearing for damage (replace the bearing if worn).
Install new hub: They press a new wheel bearing into 4296051 (if not pre-installed), slide the hub onto the rear axle, tighten the axle nut to Brilliance’s torque specs, then reattach the brake drum/disc and rear wheel.
Test: They spin the rear wheel to check for smooth movement (no wobble), then test drive to ensure no brake vibration or uneven tire wear—confirming the hub works with the H230’s rear system.
Inspect for play yearly: Jack up the H230 and wiggle the rear wheel—if there’s “play” (side-to-side movement), the hub’s bearing is worn (replace the hub immediately).
Check for rust or cracks: Look for rust on the hub’s bearing race or small cracks on the mounting face—rust causes friction, and cracks lead to hub failure.
Service with wheel bearing: Replace the hub when the wheel bearing wears out (they work together—old bearings damage new hubs).
Avoid overloading the H230: Don’t carry more weight than the H230’s maximum load capacity—excess weight bends the hub and shortens its life.
