How do you change a front wheel bearing on a 1991 cadillac deville?

Answer 1

that's fun.....not. first you'll need the socket to take off the cv joint nut, which is the very big nut nut in the center, that socket is about a 42mm i believe. you have to break that loose. then lift the vehicle from that side and remove the tire. after that remove the breaks, includes caliper and disc. your wheel bearing is a wheel HUB. its a whole assembly. with all those items off that's what your left with. there are three bolts that are holding the hub to the knukle or spindle. its either an Alan wrench type or a star type bolt. after that you have to break loose the CV joint, to do that take the big nut and unscrew it until its at the end of the screw now take a hammer and hit the nut inward so tha the cv joint slides in thru the knuckle then you can remove the hub and replace it. installation reverse. for the cv joint just tighten the bolt to pull it back thru. that nut has to be torqued which means there has to be so much punds of pressure on that nut. it should be about 80 lbs.
