On a 2wd hub assemblies are a breeze to change. Pull all of your brake hardware off, rotor, caliper, mounts, ect. Then look at the back of the spindle and in the center there should be three large bolts in a triangle around the bearing. Undo them and the hub assembly will be loose (it may be a bit tight in the spindle so you may need to gently tap it out with a hammer) also don't forger to unplug the wheel speed/abs sensor before you pull the hub (new hub should come with a new sensor). Reassembly is pretty much the reverse of this. Should only take you an hour or two to get done.

 

I have replaced both of my front wheel bearings on my truck! If yours is a 2wd...like mentioned above they are a piece of cake! As a warning....DO NOT get the cheap china brands. I when cheep on my passenger side and had to replace it again with in 4,000 miles of driving.

I remember the three bolts on the back of the hub needed to be torqued down to 130ftlbs. Super easy to change them out!

 

ok i getting ready to go pick up the hub now, do you guys think that the caliper is fubar'd too? when i pulled it off it wasnt sticking just smelled burnt.

the passenger side caliper looked the same, the pistons were all the way down.

 

If you think they need replaced, now would be the best time to do it with everything apart already. It's hard to say if they are good or bad without seeing them. They don't sound like they are bad to me, sounds like they just got pushed back. But like I said, it's hard to say without being there and looking at them.

 

well im just going to go ahead and change them out, i dont feel like pulling eveything down again if they go a few months from now...

 

Sell the truck.. It is ruined..

 

dont tempt me, im spending money on it and never even driving it, next thing to go is the tranny. im seriously thinking of getting a sport bike

 

well i just got in, and its seems to be running fine. ended up changing the hub, and both front calipers. after being qouted $55 a piece for the calipers, and $180 for the hub. i went online and found the calipers for $38 and the hub for $149. printed them out and had my buddy at advance price match them


thanks for the help fella's
