Default Wheel Bearing Replacement! advice needed!

Hey! New to the site and need guidance with the replacement of my front driver side wheel bearing. Could someone link me a hub assembly that will fit my 2001 LS 3.4V? Thanks!

01 should be similar to my 07

I just changed a couple both front and back

Shouldn't need any pullers basic tools all that is needed

YouTube is your friend

Rock Auto.Com is also your friend for good prices

Should take maybe 2 hours tops to change one side

I just changed a lf hub on my Monte also. As mentioned at least for me I didn't require any special tools. About the only thing you may need that isn't common in most home tool boxes is an axle nut socket and torque wrench, and a 1/2 in drive ratchet or breaker bar.
Also as stated YouTube is your friend if in doubt.
I know there are hubs out there for like $25 , but I wouldn't put those things on a bicycle.
I went for an ac delco . One thing I would mention is pay close attention to the hub bolts themselves. I'm referring to the 3 that hold the hub to the spindle. If not careful they are easy to round the heads off.
Not a difficult project by any means. Take your time and shouldn't take more than hour or 2 max

I went through Rockauto and went with Moog as they carry a 3 year warranty. Rockauto caries Moog priced at $93.79 for either abs or non- abs
