Your video worked like a charm. Followed the instructions exactly and now my car is fixed. Thanks so much for this informative video.
Was your buick making a crazy vibrating sound
A most excellent Tutorial. very clear and easy to understand. i really like how you fast forward thru some applications instead of just skipping ahead. Great Job and Thank You!
Thank you for watching! Glad to be of help. Please let us know how the repair turns out. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
Awesome tutorial. The tool list was reason I decided to do the hub replacement myself.
Nice to know the front wheels aren't as complicated as I thought.
Glad we could help. Thanks for checking us out
Im tackling this one in the morning on an '01 lesabre. Thank you so much for this video. Clear and simple just like it should be! This will be a pretty easy/fun project to do now!
How'd it go,I'm planning to do this in two weeks,
Bought parts from 1aAuto.com, saved half of what a local parts house wanted. The video was awesome, my son and I were able to follow along and we fixed the ABS system that was reporting the broken speed sensor.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'll be looking for your videos and parts from now on.
We currently do not have an auto repair video on that particular part. We'll keep this request in mind in the event that we need to make this repair in the future. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
You may want to check your wheel bearings. We carry new ones on our website 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
This video was great. Just replaced my bearing using this video. I was a little nervous when the old bearing split apart and half was still left behind. But a few hits with a punch and hammer from the back, got the rest of the old bearing out. Thanks, you saved me a bunch. I will definitely recommend your site.
If you're planning on replacing the hub & bearing on A 2000-2005 Buick Century and you're more northeast, expect the 34mm socket for the axle nut to be 35mm(rust and corrosion) lol, found this out the hard way. But nonetheless, amazing straight forward video. Save yourself some easy money with this!
+SeaChins Thanks for the great feedback!
You have arguably some of the best instructional videos I have seen, and excellent customer service I might add. Thanks
Steve Perovich Thanks for the kind words. Glad to hear we could help you out. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
I bought the wheel bearing hubs from 1A Auto. Received them in about 3 business days. Performed the job on my 2001 Buick LeSabre in about 3 hours. I got a loaner 34mm socket from AutoZone and returned it after the job... no charge. This video exactly matched my car. A great resource!
Thank you for watching!

I just changed mine today on my 2003 Lesabre. Just thought I would mention the lock tight the factory uses on the bearing bolts. It is some sort of space agaed super strong stuff. lol It was almost impossible to get the bolts out with a ratchet. I rounded off one bolt but got it out. What a job!
When torque the hubs down, torque them to the correct settings with a torque wrench (if you haven't tried this already). Sometimes people like to impact them on, which could cause premature wear. Hope this helps you out.
I feel perhaps you shouldn't have shown yourself using an impact to put it on "temporarily" as you say since this is an instruction video. Otherwise, great video as always.
Thank you for checking out our auto repair videos on TH-cam. 1aauto.com
Thanks for the video---note for other watchers I had to use an axle puller instead of hitting the axle with a hammer. The axle nut on my lesabre was on so tight I broke a breaker bar --I could only get it off with a impact wrench. When torquing the axle nut at the end don't load the weight of the car --torque it unloaded
+Aaron Gallagher Thank you for your feedback!
^^^^^ Important note at the about torqueing the axle nut unloaded at the end, it could severely shorten the lifespan of your new bearing! ^^^^
thanks, very easy to follow and accurate.
You earned a customer in the future!
You guys do excellent work!! Thanks for everything!!
You do not need to take the caliber out of its bracket. Just unbolt the bracket and the caliper will come off with it. Use a flathead screwdriver to compress the caliper piston before you loosen the bracket bolts. Then the whole assembly will slide off of the rotor in 1 piece. Albeit the brake pads will be loose in the caliper but it’s manageable enough and it’s worth it in the long run.
Thanks for doing this vid, I haven't found a decent site explaining auto repair til now!
i love your channel you guys have saved me thousands !
The clicking could possibly be from the strut loading up and releasing or it could possibly be from the lower ball joint/control arm.
Very thorough and informative . I like the needed tool list in the beginning .Thank You
Thank you for watching. Please let us know how the repair comes out!

Thanks a lot man for the vid. Have to do this on GF's car and we also bought a hud assembly from ya guys on amazon. Keep up the Great work...
a clicking noise could also be from the struts/control arms or possibly even the rack and pinion.
The recommended torque spec on that vehicle may be different. If you have a Haynes or a Chiltons manual for that vehicle it should tell you in there. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

You can use a small amount of wheel bearing grease.
Great video. Worked perfectly for our 2004 LeSabre. A+

73Soundman73 i changed my hub now it makes a rubbi g noise. Help
1A Auto Parts i change my driber side on my 02 lesaber. And now it make a rubbing noise help
Great video! How do you know you need to replace the Hub ?
Cool video. nice job
The hub and the wheel bearing are a complete assembly on this vehicle.
Usually they'll start making a humming noise when they need to be replaced.
You got skills my man ,would like to see you torque that axle nut for the risk premature ware,ask me how do i know
What was the clock time for the replacement?
How do you determine when the wheel hub bearing (I assume this is the same as the 'wheel bearings') needs to be replaced? How much play indicated they should be replaced?
Thanks. Great vid.
Sorry, that was my mistake. It was very informative thank you
+Joseph Antonio Thank you for your feedback!
is there threads in the steering knuckle for the hub assembly bolts? I have a stripped bolt that I need to cut off
Thanks for the video. Mainly here for torque specs. *Random thought, I wonder how detrimental torque specs are on today's cars vs. back in the day? To my knowledge, dad never used a torque wrench on the ole 66 Chevy stepside. Every bolt or nut had the same "spec" turn it till you can't haha! I guess it was good enough
HI Lee, Thanks for checking us out, have a great day! 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
i want to wonder to. hummingg....? i guess it could be a humming noise. I get a sort of grinding sound when i turn left or right, but its not a click so i dont think its cv joints. i really notice the noise when I have a car full of people. i thought I just had some heavy ppl in my car lol. I get a wobbling feel like my tires gonna fall off. does this description sound like wheel bearings? i have 2001 lesabre!! excellent vidoe btw.
i wanna ask you about clicking sound when making right turn and i driving Buick regal 1999 LS and replaced cv axle but still hearing that noise .. any idea ??? please !!!
You will be able to tell that the hubs are bad by checking for any play in the hub to bearing housing or you will hear a growling noise that grows with the speed of the vehicle.
excellent very good I told my brother
Great video, for a 2010 dodge nitro do you think all those torque spec. Is the same?. And I am hearing a growling sound when I speed..
That growling is just the speed gods dog warning you to slow down before he summons Honda civics with laptops
I can't thank you enough for this video. I did the procedure earlier today exactly as in this video in a friend's garage and the drive home was nearly perfect. The vibration I was experiencing from the old hub is gone, but now there's a sort of very light click that I hear coming from the same wheel (front right) every rotation of the tire.
It sounds very much like a thin and insubstantial piece of metal being "flicked" rhythmically, like a baseball card in a bicycle spoke or the tab on a soda can. Is it possible I bent the metal dust cover and now there's a momentary interference with the wheel during motion?
You way want to turn the wheel by hand to see if you can tell where the noise is coming from. It may be something like a dust shield hitting the rotor, or another component that's making contact with something that's rotating in there. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
1A Auto Parts
Will do, much thanks!
How do u diagnose this problem? I replace my brake hose, caliper, and pads. Now I'm getting a loud knock like it's getting caught up on the driver side when I'm driving. I notice the hub would not spin when jacked up.
Very good video thanks
+Kaylan Bellando Thanks for watching 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
Hello. How tight did you torque the center axle nut?
+Bionic Monks Torque the bolts to 60 ft lbs. Thanks for watching!
Do you guys got a video how to replace the control arm or front struts on a 2000 buick la sabre ?
Thank you for watching. Unfortunately we do not have a video for your application. We will keep this repair in mind for future videos.

Just a couple quick points.
My vehicle is an "02" Pontiac Bonneville, essentially the same vehicle as the Le Sabre except of course the body style and interior details.
My wheels are different as I don't have the center hub cap that allows easy access to the retainer nut on the axle while the wheel is on the ground, so I had to loosen the lug nuts, jack up, and secure the vehicle on a jack stand, remove the wheel, then put a stick from the brake pedal to the front seat to lock up the wheel and use a breaker bar with the big socket. Use breaker bars to break nuts loose and then use ratchets.
Open the master cylinder on the brake system before depressing the caliper so you are not trying to work against the hydraulic pressure in the system. I don't like the big screwdriver on the pads method, I use the big C-clamp method that most repair manuals will illustrate. Don't just set the caliper up on the under carriage like that because if it falls down it can damage the rubber brake line on it. Secure it with a zip tie or tie wire.
DO NOT, FOR ANY GOOFY REASON PULL THE AXEL SPINDLE SHAFT OUT TOWARDS YOU, OR ALLOW IT TO COME TOO FAR OUT AND DISCONNECT FROM THE CV DRIVE TRAIN.
Yes if you wheel bearing has gone bad on this vehicle, this is how you would change it.
Is this the same concept as 2002 Buick Park Ave?
03 buick lesabre, I was thinking about buying, front wheel hub & bearing pair with ceramic brake pads & rotor set for models with 16 in wheels, I have a limited buick lesabre my question is, would that kit fit right on my vehicle and are the wheel & hub bearings sealed, not needing packed and greased.
This kit is correct for the 2003 Buick Lesabre with 16" wheels, plastic ABS sensor wire clips. We also have additional vehicle notes in the description on our website. www.1aauto.com/wheel-hub-and-bearing-pair-with-ceramic-brake-pads-and-rotors-set-front/i/1abms00010?f=686606&y=2003&TH-cam&TH-cam&ATony Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
What size socket does the axel take
I just received a quote the other day for my 2006 Buick Lacrosse. Just to replace the front driver side wheel bearing with parts and labor they said around $300. Is this a good deal?
Brian Dutkiewicz .......Yes, good deal
What size socket did you use to take the axle nut off ? normally these guys are exact as to the tools they use but not this time
34mm here but they can vary. Should be able to rent an axel nut socket set though that has all the sizes you could run into
Good video. But, I noticed, it's like changing the wheel hub on a blazer 4wd.
But, still a great informative video
Thanks for checking us out! +jon beams
For the replacement hub, does it matter if the rear is metal or plastic? I think the original part I'm replacing is metal where the sensor lead connects.
+david blevins It might not matter.
I have a 2002 lasaber how do u now when they are going bad
+Jermey Vital Normally the wheel bearing will make a great deal of noise, like a roaring sound. There could be an ABS light that comes on in the vehicle.
Can you tell me why all the sudden my left Windows don't go down or up with any controls? My heated mirror doesn't work more or moving controls and the controls for the air on the door don't work. The speakers work heated seat doesn't what's the problem? I checked all the basic fuses under the seat and the hood.
i sure will!!
I would leave the hub nut on while striking the axle to prevent damaging the threads
Where's the anti seize behind wheel and the grease on the foot pads...no clips? No squealers?
That is a beautiful pink 1960 Olds or Pontiac....
that piece between the hub and spindle is it important to replace that
I didn't put it back when I replaced the cv axle and now I can't seem to get my wheel back on
+Boo C Yes, you need to reuse the gasket that sits between the hub flange and spindle for proper install.

clowns
Would this be the same process on a 2002 buick regal?
Thank you for watching. The process will be a little different. Here is a link to the parts for your vehicle on our website. In the listing we have a video for a Regal.

W bodies are all basically the same except for cosmetic differences, mechanically they're the same
Is this the same for a Park Avenue?
+David Gillock It may be a different procedure on that vehicle. What year is the Park Avenue ?
does this apply to the buick Lucerne too 2006
+Ruben Guerra The process is similar. Please make sure to consult your repair manual for any slight differences between the 2000 - 2005 models, which this video documents, and your 2006.
Is there a specific torque rating for the CV nut?
Joe Lala the video actually states the torque setting after he has the wheel back on and it is back on the ground for the CV nut.
Yep 118 Foot Pounds. after he put the nut on at first i was thinking the same thing. These A1 videos are pretty amazing. its like the handyman's encyclopedia we had when i was a kid. everything you need to know explained like I'm 5 years old.
if you would have WATCHED the video , they tell you , CLOWN
I've heard this is a difficult job on these cars. I heard correctly. Did he just snap that plastic clip??
what size is the socket for the Axel but?
+Robert Paczkowsku It should be a 34MM. If any of our viewers needs to perform this repair we carry the replacement wheel hub bearings shown in this video on our website. Here's a link to them. www.1aauto.com/1A/wheel-bearing-hub-front/Buick/LeSabre/TKSHF00002?TH-cam&CTA%20Comment&ATony
Does this work for a back wheel?
2000 lesabre
+Benji Hobbs It should be a similar installation.
My buick century was a 35mm axle nut
with a bad wheel bearing on both sides of the front end would that make your front end shake around 35 to 40mph
+John Branam That could definitely be a symptom of a bad bearing, but like always we recommend you have the vehicle looked at by a reputable mechanic if you are unsure what the issue is! Thanks, 1A Auto
Thanks for the info I appreciate it
Not sure it was cuz I have a Century but my nut was 35mm
Same deal for 2002 century?
Great but never said what size axle nut socket was. Great!!!
+Joseph Antonio The axle nut socket will be 34mm, this is said at approx 0:55
clown
Is this the same as a 2005 park ave?
The process may be a little different on your application. We will keep this vehicle in mind for future videos.
1aauto.com 888-844-3393
same
Those brake pins dont use grease , they use silicon paste.
A 34mm socket may or may not be the correct size. I needed a 33mm socket for my 2003 LeSabre. It has 16" wheels.
NO , 34 mm
I also needed a 33 on a 2002 LeSabre
34mm is too small for a buick century. going to grab a 35 see if that will work.
Well I ended up being wrong. A 34mm is what should have been used, but maybe the previous owner got the wrong part. Perhaps, why I needed a new wheel hub.
It's not a 34mm socket it's a 36mm
Preliminary
what happend to these type of videos?
informative but his hands don't have a single spec of dirt or anything on them. try this up in Northeast Ohio where you'll break every single brake bleeder.
Anyone who down cotes this is a fool
