Yes
It wasn't specified what the model year this is or which "S" series was asked about, but on my 2001 SL1 the ONLY way to replace the front bearings is removing the front wheel bearing assemblies then taking them, and the new bearings, to a machine shop to have the old bearings pressed out and the new bearings pressed in. Then reattach the hub assemblies to the car. The wheels will also need to be realigned after having to unbolt the front struts to remove the bearing assemblies.
You need to have a wheel press. Other than that it's self explanitory.
The 95 Saturn SL1 does it too.
All of the Saturn's have been front wheel drive, EXCEPT for the few SUV's that have been all wheel drive. The SL2, SC2 and SW2 are all dual cam and the SL1, SC1 and SW1 were all single cam.
No, technically, front wheel drive vehicles have "CV" (Constant Velocity) joints. Saturns have 2 on each side.
the front bearing are pressed in. so you can do one of two things take the whole car to a repair shop, or you can remove the whole assembly buy bearings and have a shop press then for you. most auto part stores sell them for about $40.00 and shops charge around $25.00 a side to press. as i said if you pull it apart. Rock Auto (no I do not represent them) sold me a Saturn Front bearing assembly kit which includes a wheel spindle with a pressed on bearing for Approx $56. My unit was not assembled and they graciously credited me with the cost of pressing the bearing on the spindle. The spindle looks like a top hat with at tiny top. The bearing gets pressed on over the top so it is sitting on the rim of the top hat. The wheel studs are aiming down in this analogy. The kit includes a new drive axel nut which should always be replaced on any and all model of cars. The kit includes an internal expanding circlip approx 4" dia. The hardest part of this job on a 1995 SW-2 is removing the disc brake rotor from the wheel hub...especially if car used in a salty environment like central New York State. Good luck!
The starter on a 2001 Saturn SL1 is located on the driver's side of the engine. It is just to the left and in front of the alternator/generator.
6.5" round speakers in the front and back.
Probably not. The 94' models were more box shaped and newer models are rounder.
Top right side of engine as you stand in front of the car
Just underneath the crankshaft pulley. You can get to it through the right front fender.
The big nut in the middle of the wheel holds the axel in the hub and pushes the two bearing halfs together. Make sure that nut is tightened to specs and then some. I don't like over torquing things, but I did it to my 1995 SL2 and was surprised that the nut turned another half turn with only a little more torque. Then backed off and tightened to specs. I have read about this elsewhere, but like I said, I don't like it much. Spec calls for 145 foot-pounds.
