How do you replace a rear wheel bearing on a 2000 Buick Regal?

Answer 1

I just replaced my front bearings tonight. 2000 Regal GSE. 150k. Haven't done the rears yet, but I suspect its very similar.

1. Loosen wheel lug nut. 36mm. You will need a big breaker. Loosen lugs.

2. Jack up car. Jack stands. Remove tire.

3. Remove 2 15mm bolts from the caliper (not the caliper pins - same size)

4. Remove caliper, suspend (don't dangle), remove rotor.

5. Remove wheel lug nut if you haven't already. Disconnect ABS sensor wire on back of hub assembly.

6. Remove 3 13mm bolts from hub assembly. Might require small breaker, might not.

7. Remove hub assembly. Puller might help. I used a hammer instead.

Install new hub assembly, plug in abs wire (make sure wire position matches what you removed), put rotor back on, caliper back in place, wheel nut lug, tire and lugs.
