How do you replace the front wheel hub assembly on Chevrolet 4X4?
Srranch1
I just did this for my 2002 Suburban 2500 4X4. Right front at 145K miles, the left was done by dealer at 90K, under warranty. I was in for some other minor issue, and they did the safety check.
The dealer quoted $630. I looked into part at Checker on-line, $225. I called my nearest one, they had it on the shelf. I checked for some on-line plans. Found a few.
Looked doable, with minimum tools. I went home, jacked up truck on that side, and checked for looseness in wheel bearing. Was very loose. I had also had heard an intermittent noise from that area, but not critical, thought it could have been the CV joint?
The big thing is the spindle nut removal. It is 35MM. You will need to very carefully remove dust cap, you need to re-install. You will need to loosen the spindle nut with truck tire on ground. It may also be possible to just slightly loosen it with someone applying brakes. Find a big breaker, and/or a powerful impact wrench. You will need to re-install with 156 or 177 ftlbs?? I found both of these numbers on-line. Plan on this. Since most 1/2 in torque wrenches only go to 150+.
So after removing wheel, and previous loosening of nut, you have to remove brake caliper bolts. Then Caliper hanger. This was hard. Bolts have some serious locktite.
Carefully place caliper on top of A arm and bungee so as to not damage brakeline.
Disc has 2 keepers, start removal with screwdriver, wiggle them and the disc off. You will need to replace.
Follow Anti lock brake line up to connector on top of frame. Carefully separate Remove this line from all keepers. The new hub has line and new keepers.
Complete spindle nut removal. Remove 4 bolts at back of hub and then hub assy is free.
Wipe it all clean. Reverse installation. Disc splash plate goes forward. Use small locktite on hub nuts and hanger bolts. Torque to 85-90. Check on-line feedback.
Final Spindle nut tightening needs brakes held, after all assy, less wheel. Be very careful to stay away from brake pedal while caliper is off!
Lots of info on-line. Took about 2 hours of real work.
