The front wheel bearings the new style (1999 to 2008) Chevy 4wd trucks come as an assembly only - the bearings themselves cannot be replaced - assembly includes the complete hub, stud bolts, ABS sensor/pickup... Basically fool proof, but expensive - $425 as of 9/1/2007... Good news is, it is easy and quick to install - remove the wheel, unplug ABS wiring, remove the four bolts holding the hub/bearing assembly on - the assembly has splines and simply slides off.(may need a little coaxing to get it broke loose) Assemble in reverse - complete job only takes 30 minutes to an hour, depending on experience level, and tools available... Good Luck...
Front or rear bearings? 2 or 4 wheel drive? year of truck?
you don't. buy a new wheel hub
you can't replace just the front wheel bearings, they are sealed so you have to replace the entire hub assemble and it will cost approximately $130 each side.
How do you change the wheel bearings on a Chevrolet aveo 2005
Need to know if it is 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive.
No.
With the correct tools
2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive? It makes a difference.
sorry to have to tell you this but the bearings are part of the wheel hub and sealed within. you need to change the entire hub. $$$$$$$
If the truck is a 4 wheel drive, you can't repack the front wheel bearings. It has a sealed hub/bearing assembly that is not serviceable.
Bearings are dirt cheap-never install a used one.
Did you ever get anywhere on this thread? I'm looking to replace the front bearings and rotors on my 2000 ZR2.
