How do you replace a spindle in 2005 gran prix?

Answer 1

The spindle on the Pontiac Grand Prix, rear axle is retained by four bolts 17 mm in size. (usually, sometimes 18mm) Remove wheel. Remove the disk or drum however equipped. (A drum should just slide off. Check for thin metal "keepers" on two of the studs. ) If it is a disk, remove the caliper via two retaining bolts. (they need a torx brand driver to remove) remove the disk by sliding it off. The hub assembly is a modular unit. It is sealed and thus has to be removed as a unit. There is a large hole in the hub to facilitate the removal of the retaining bolts through the hole. Remove the bolts, and that's it. To install, reverse the process. The hub assembly needs to be torque correctly. Ask the auto parts store for the torque settings. Special note: The front hub assembly is the same in that you need to follow the same directions as the rear. The only exception is that the drive axle passes through the assembly using "splines". Be carfull not to damage the threads on the axle.
