On the axles, just before the hub and brakes.
I got so far and can't get the hub assembly off. I tookthe disk brakes off. Took the brake holder off. Removed the 4 bolts from the back that looks like it is holding the hub but the hub will not come off. Is it pressed in? Do I need to remove the drum brakes and pry off the hub?
There are no bearings in brakes, but the hub has large ball bearings
on the back behind the wheel hub should be a gear looking thing that moves turn it slowly until fully ajusted
There are 4 sensors on the 1995 Chevrolet Blazer. The 2 front for the Disc Brakes is behind the rotors on the hub. The inside hub has gears and the sensors are above them. On the rear, where you have Drum Brakes, the sensors are on the back of the Drum Brake Assembly, next to the bleeder screws.
Bleed all the brakes first to make sure no air in the lines and then on the back brakes if they are drum brakes on the inside hub you will find 2 rubber push in plugs that you take out and if you look in the hole you will see a gear wheel, either use a screwdriver or a brake spoon that you get from the auto store and turn the wheel upwards until you feel the brakes dragging a little on the drum, of course you have to jack the back end of the car up to do this so both wheels are off the ground and turn each back wheel by hand as your adjusting the gear wheel to get it set properly.
Take off the wheel and the brakes. There should be a cap in the center of the hub, take that off. There will be a nut with a cotter pin through it, take out the cotter pin. Unscrew the nut, take out washer. Slide hub off spindle. Knock the back seal out of the hub. Clean the hub, pack bearings and hub with grease. Place new back bearing back into hub, then lightly tap seal into hub. Put the hub onto the spindle. Put in front bearing, washer, nut, cotterpin, and cap. Replace tire.
The grinding could be coming from the rear brakes.
the only difference to changing brakes with a full floating axle , is that you dont have to remove the axle the brake drum will come off the hub with out removing the axle. you may have to get underneath and back off the brakes to free it up enuff to move the drum
remove wheel, caliper,brakes,rotor. unplug abs connector and unbolt hub. install is reverse.
Yes it is a hub type so just remove the brakes and then it's 3- 13mm bolts and a 30 mm drive axle nut. ( this may be difficult if you don't have air tools. Have someone step on the brakes before you take them apart to loosen it) Then take off the hub/brg and your good
A brake in which the friction is caused by a set of pads that press against a rotating disk.Disc brakes on a bicycle are brakes that slow the bike by acting on a disk that is mounted on the hub of the weel. This is different from standard brakes.
