Provided are a low-cost wheel bearing device and axle module which are manufactured by small work man-hours and assemblyman-hours and at lower component replacement cost for maintenance and repairing. A recess-projection fitting structure is configured by providing projections extending in an axial direction on any one of an outer diameter surface of a shaft section of an outer joint member and an inner diameter surface of a hole of a hub wheel, press-fitting the projections in another of the outer diameter surface and the inner diameter surface along the axial direction, and forming recesses brought into close contact and fitted with respect to the projections by this press fitting in the another of the outer diameter surface and the inner diameter surface, the projections and the recesses being held in close contact with each other through intermediation of entire fitting contact regions. An outer member is fitted in a hole of a knuckle of a vehicle with a predetermined fit. Annular grooves are formed respectively in an outer peripheral surface of the outer member and an inner peripheral surface of the hole of the knuckle, and a snap ring is engaged with both the annular grooves. Consequently, the outer member is separable from the knuckle only by deformation or breakage of the snap ring caused by application of a drawing force larger than a drawing force acting in normal use. |
