wheel bearings
 

Hey everyone I gotta change my wheel bearing on my left side...does anyone know the procedure?

drive the car into my driveway, leave title, registation, and everything in it including keys. that should get the job done!
lol, joking of course
car has to be jacked up. tire comes off, you have to take off your caliper. be sure to hang it by string or wire and not break your brake line..lol... and then your rotor slides off. then unclip your wheel speed sensor and take off the very annoying 3 or 4 bolts that hold on the non-servicable wheel bearing. replace with your new one and reinstall everything

So where is the sensor on the outside or inside n where are the bolts?

one on the left is what the rotor slides off of from the outside view. those bolts sticking out are the studs your lugs attach to. the pic on the right near the top is what attaches to the car. you have to take out the three bolts on this one from the inside of the wheel well facing the wheel bearing. the sensor has a connector around there too and you will see it. also you have to use a punch and knock your cv shaft back out of the center of your wheel bearing in order for it to come off. id do this after taking off the rotor and befor you unbolt the wheel bearing

Thank you very much...you've been a huge help

i have to replace my driverside front bearing on 2004 monte. Is this whole assembly what i have to buy? Sorry but im clueless with replacing these.

You have to buy the whole assembly...seems like it could be a pain in the ass but its actually really simple. I did it in about 30min

Here is what I went by when I did mine.

That's the same link I posted 3 posts up... :D

i need to tackle this project this weekend thanks for the info and the website, the pictures are a big help.

How can I tell what side is the bad side? If Im turning right, thats when it makes the most noise. But I can feel it in the drivers side. I did this twice with a POS Alero, and the side I thought it was wasnt the bad one. Really cant afford, and dont wanna be doing them both!

Should be turning right, then left side.

Turn left then right side.

Thanks! Just wanna make sure I got it right before doing the passenger side, when its the drivers side!

If you have the ABS light on, you can have a scanner (not obdii scanner, I think tech-2) pinpoint the hub and you can know for sure.
