How do you replace a front wheel bearing on a 2001 buick le saber?

Answer 1

Remove the wheel, brake caliper and bracket and the brake rotor. Remove the large 32mm nut from the axle. Remove the three 13mm head bolts that hold the hub to the knuckle. Remove the ABS wiring connector from the bracket. You may have to hammer the hub out of the knuckle if it's badly corroded. You will also need to very carefully tap the axle out of the hub being carefull not to damage the threads on the axle. Once the hub is loose from the knuckle and the axle is freely moving out of the hub, pull the hub towards you and guide the ABS wiring connector out through the opening in the knuckle. Remove any corrosion from the knuckle where the hubs mating surfaces are. Reverse procedure for installation. Clean as much rust off of the back of the brake rotor as possible. Any rust between the rotor to hub mating surface will cause a brake pulsation down the road! Russtech67
