You will need to buy a new wheel hub assembly from your local auto parts store. you will also need a 36 mm socket in additional to the usual tools. I also found that a wheel puller is helpful(but not necessary) you should be able to rent one from your local auto parts store for a refundable deposit.
Take off the wheel.
Remove all break components.
remove 36 mm axle nut.
remove the 3 bolts holding the hub on and unplug the wires from it.
here is where I used the wheel puller to take off the hub. You may be able to remove it using a hammer. (A wheel puller is a lot easier.)
Put the new one on and reconnect everything.
Keep these directions handy so you can do it again next time the bearings go out.
There is a staple on the front of the gearshift just below the knob, remove it and lift the shift knob.
The 2004 Oldsmobile radiator is located behind the front grill. The radiator will be in the front of the engine compartment.
the gas filter on the 2000 alero is just in front of gas tank. you have to jackup the car.
2. front left and front right.
it should be under the passanger side front dash behind the clove box
In front of the fuel tank under the car...right in front of the fuel filter
under the air filter box and battery platform front driver side
Try about 25 lb. ft. for the caliper bracket.
The 2001 Oldsmobile water pump is located on the front of the engine. You can follow the top radiator hose directly to the water pump.
you may have a bad front wheel bearing hub assembly. 55 dollars for aftermarket. e z to replace. check brake fluid level too.
I just fixed this problemon A 1999 Alero... It was the front wheel bearing. You will need to replace the front wheel bearing hub assembly. Do not re-use the hub nut. Get a new one from the dealer as it's only about $10 each. The wheel hub assembly is torqued to 70 foot pound (three bolts). The axle nut (hub nut) is torqued to 173 foot pounds. Please verify the torque values with your dealer or auto part store as models years may be slightly different.
First of all, Do you have any specialty brake tools? Ben
