Rear wheel hub replacement 200 1991

Not sure what you mean by "rear hub."

The fixed, nonrotating part that carries the rear axle bearing is pretty much integral with the whole rear axle assembly; pressed on then welded. You're in for a job and a half to swap that beast out, with the worst part probably being removing the old trailing arm bushings.

Are you replacing the axle? If you're going to the trouble, then you really ought to replace the bearing and both inner and outer seals. I think pulling the axle is abusive to the seals, and you'll invite trouble by not replacing both of them.

FWIW, 240s with ABS have a 3-channel system; ABS sensors on both front wheels but rear wheel speed is sensed by a tone ring inside the differential. Putting a non-ABS axle assembly into an ABS-equipped car creates speedo and ABS system incompatibilities (not impossible to work around, but nuisances).
