- In this video we show the process involved in replacing the front wheel bearing hub assembly on a 2005 Chevy Tahoe 1500 4X4. This procedure is similar to many Chevy, GMC, Cadillac, Buick and Oldsmobile vehicles with the 1500 chassis and modular hub bearing assemblies on the front end.

Great video work and content Tim. Folks in Anchorage are lucky to have you to perform safe and reliable vehicle maintenance. Keep up the good work and God Bless!
I've never seen a hub fallout like that. You must be magic
After watching this video I went and did the wheel bearing/ hub assembly on my 2002 suburnan. Did both sides in 90 minutes, my first time ever doin something like this, thank you!
After watching a lot on content found you and stopped looking. You hit the mark on failure around 80K on these trucks (2003 GMC 1500 4WD) I've subscribed and given you a "thumbs up"...best video on the "net" for this job and know I trust you for future projects. Many thanks!
For rusted on hubs, try backing out the mount bolts approximately 1/2” and alternatively hit them with a heavy hammer. As the hub works it’s way out, back the bolts out and repeat. Liberal use of your favorite penetrating oil will help.
Excellant, No drama,cuts right to the chase.Describes exactly what type of tools and size to do the job quickly and most importantly the correct way.... DK
Nice video Tim.I bet when the owner got the truck back they could not believe how quiet it was.
I'll have to check back with them in a few days and ask. It's a good idea to follow up anyway since they are new customers. Do you ever check back with customers as a courtesy? Good to see you here Jim. Take care.
really liked the way you explained what you were doing. I watched your video 3 times just to make sure I do I right save me a lot of money thank you. Armando
Excellent!
Good video. The customer was lucky to have a mechanic like you to look out for her. Many thumbs up. Thanks for sharing your video.
Thanks, glad I caught it too. I should check more often I guess. Probably be good for business as well. Take care
Thank you for showing the torquing of the bolts. So many don't use a torque wrench. It's one of my pet peeves. Same with not using thread locker.
How much you want to bet that when the camera is off the torque wrench stays in the tool box aside maybe the axle nut....this from a tech with 30 years experience. That being said,i think that he has many very well made video,s and very well done.
TH-cam has made me use my torque wrench way more often than before. That said, it feels good using it.
Like your title picture, looks like a painting. As always I learn something from all your videos. This helps my own repairs go smoothly and keeps me buying tools.
Man I love buying tools! Sure glad you have gotten something out of my vids. I have been using a filter called Google Snapseed on the pictures to achieve that effect. If you have an iPhone check out the app called snapseed. Not sure if it is available for other devices. Take care.
Hi Tim. I just sent a PM. I'm in town. (I stayed for the video too). Nice lighting on this one and I enjoyed the tips along the way.
Super glad you located my shop and dropped in for a visit buddy!
me too. it was an honor to meet you and your wife.
Forget about the hub, what kind of lighting do you have lol
Love the comic relief as usual... it's the obvious stuff that always gets overlooked!
I almost didn't catch it myself. Its amazing more people don't die on the roads considering how often I see wheels ready to fall off.
Great job Dr.easy and convenient in professional way.
Great video ! My turn on a 2005 Silverado Thanks for the great tricks of the trade !!
Thank you. Hope it goes well
@@ThecardoctorTV Got it off. Your a baddass !! Thanks again. Great videos you have. Have a great week
Did the exact same job here in Wisconsin. Both hubs, one solid week to free everything up. Heating, cooling, penetrating oil, hammering, air chisel, slide hammer , sledge hammer and finally bolts through the rotor to knuckle to remove the bearing hub. The aluminum knuckles corrode to the steel hubs and seems like they will never break free, but eventually they come apart. Going back together is cake. As you guessed I am a backyard mechanic but the road salt makes every job difficult. If you are an evil person God sends you to live in Wisconsin Hell.
My favorite vid of yours so far! On fire that day.
Thank you. IM not on fire today. haha. Its Monday.
nother quality video appreciate ya takin time out to show us all how a pro does it. -PawPaw
Another home run Tim. Good camera angles. -John
Thanks buddy.
Man stuff being so rust free just isn't fair! I used a Timken bearing last time. I will see how that last.
IM lost when a rig from the east coast makes its way up here and ends up at my shop. IO seriously don't know how you guys deal with that stuff. Yuk
Lol. Ohio Yukon. 200k miles. Had to sacrifice hub bolts to a 5lb sledge. Glad Ball joints took it well.
Like all the “Safety” Nice Pro Job “Tim” Clean
Chevys hub bearings sometimes get like that and never vibrate or make noise and when you get ready to remove the wheel you wonder how bad it needs to get. I used to wonder how customers never felt it until I raised my '06 Sliverado SS with 22" rims and the left wheel laid over. It never made a noise, no clunking, and no vibration...scary part was I had just run @35 miles at @85 mph (maybe more) and I was just doing a normal tire rotation...surprise! I've been using Moog for over 40 yrs and never had a comeback. Nice repair Tim!
You know you are probably right. I just tend to doubt it when the customer claims they never heard a noise since so many times I test drive a vehicle and turn around aborting the test drive because I feel unsafe. Only to be told they never noticed a problem and just want their oil changed. Haha.
Now mind you I probably caught it right after it failed b/c I know it would have clunked and made noise just freaked me out a little that it was so smooth running that fast but it was straight highway and no hard turns...sometimes they do things you just can't believe or explain.
I just test drove with a guy who has a newer Silverado and I think its just beginning to make a slight noise. Hes coming back tomorrow so I can get it on the lift. I cant wait to see what this one looks like. It only has 55K miles on it. Might be something else too I don't know.
The Car Doctor Curious to see what you find. 99% of the time they make a noise or have some form of vibration but the one I had violated all laws of what we know...LOL When I lifted my truck and seen the wheel move slightly I said I'm working too many hours b/c I thought I saw the wheel move and then when I grabbed it I thought obviously you haven't been working enough b/c now you have to replace the hub & bearing on your own truck...luckily we both have a sense of humor!
life is way to funny not to laugh once in a while isn't it? Ill keep you posted
Good fix Tim ! We get those rust free vehicles here in the south to . Makes things go a little easier 😋
Those poor suckers in the rust belt
My truck doing the same thing thank you very much I appreciate it like a rough rough sound I appreciate
Just subscribed. Thanks for the video! I've had some bad outer wear on some brand new tires and a little vibration while breaking. I thought I needed an alignment but the truck doesn't pull. Finally, the stabilitrak and traction control lights came on so I started doing some research. Obvious now to me that I have a bad hub. Thanks so much....and I feel like I can replace it myself! Save $$$
Hi, Tim..good to see you. This one really helps, got a suburban with that same problem...so hear I go... Hey Thanks
Thanks Joel! Hope the suburban gets fixed up.
Awesome video thank you very much but you forgot one thing the torque specifications I'm having a hard time finding them for the wheel hub not and the bolts on the back that hold in the wheel hub the three bolts
I replaced one on an Chevy Avalanche in Connecticut and it about took a stick of dynamite to remove the damn thing. Corrosion is a mother bleeper!
Sounds rough. I would quit being a mechanic if I had to deal with that every day.
I'm dealing with that now. Beat the crap out of it, it will not move!!!
Gotta love GM hub bearing replacement - nice and easy - maybe easy 'cause they fail so often!
Indeed. I guess those folks in the rust belt don't always have an easy time doing them but I wouldn't know about rust. Sure seems like they should hold up better. Got one tomorrow with 55K miles. Crazy!
Good video my FRIEND, I appreciate it, God bless..
whats worse than death? lol im a semi new subscriber that found you through eric o's channel. great channel you have.
How were the brake pads, and caliper mounting bracket? Seems like 90% of the hubs I replace I always end up doing the brake pads, the affected rotor and a caliper mounting bracket. Takes out the inner pad, and the rotor digs into the bracket and destroys it. A good practice I have got into when doing the hubs, regarding the little clip that breaks that holds the abs wire to the control arm, I always reuse the old one, and keep the new clip, that way when I replace a control arm, and that clip breaks I have a new one to use, cause I hate zip tying the abs wire to the control arm. I have tried sourcing those clips, at the dealer and aftermarket, nobody has them, and they only come with new hubs w/ and abs sensor. If you buy a new abs sensor only you don't get the clips.
In this case the pads and caliper mount was ok. I should keep those used clips too. Good idea.
Subscribe, very good explanation. Thank you very much for your time.
love your videos I watch every video hear in the UK
Awesome, glad you enjoy them. I visited your area last December and really enjoyed it. Take care!
Nice video tim, no need to tell me what sockets to use, here in ct we use twist sockets, hammer, and 3/4 impacts
Haha. Nice. You guys don't pull any punches.
I'm hammering the hell out of that tub and I can't get it to come out considering using heat any suggestions
Sounds like you must live in the rust belt. Yikes.
Nice job
great video thank you
One warning, I once over tightened the axle nut and that ruined the bearing within about 20 miles... overheated it, destroyed the seal, and had to redo the job within a year. Expensive mistake, use a torque wrench.
Good call. I always torque the axle nuts to spec. Thanks for watching.
Thanks Austin! Don't know why I can never reply to your posts but it works when you are under someone elses post.
Are 1A auto parts any good?
love this channel car doc
IM sure glad you do and appreciate you dropping by! Blessings
Just Subscribed your funny ass hell man and you do good work I really enjoy your videos thanks brother hope to see more soon
Thank you!
Can it sound like supercharger? I have a 03 awd Escalade making a noise when going 20mph+ grinding low humming.
Great video! May I ask what brand wobble impacts are you using?? Thanks
This clip is so details and helpful.
But the CV driver shaft is spin smooth as the rest of 3 wheels while raised up and on 4x4 Hi Drive. Any suggestions would greatly appreciate.
not sure what you are asking. sorry
Doc: I'm surprised. I live in PA and the simple 5 min jobs have turned into day jobs (DYI). Alaska has no corrosion? Surprised by that. What is under your cars? Looks like volcanic ash. Enjoy your vids new subscriber.
I think it is glacial silt that turns to dust and ends up on the streets. Glacial silt is dust from ground up rocks from glaciers that move along and grind up rocks.
I have a 2007 Chevy Tahoe the front diff stop turning because of broken internal gears can I remove the diff and axle shaft and drive it until I get a new diff ?
Would the wheel bearings come apart ?
Great job :-D, thats gotta make the steering feel better to the driver, how the hell did the driver not notice it, madness.
Good you caught it before something nasty happened :-)
I guess it wasn't so obvious to the driver. Crazy stuff.
It looks like the bolt snapped at 13:35
Checking in. TFS
Thanks for the visit. Been busy around here. You staying busy these days?
Yes sir. I have struts, shocks, and sway bar links to put into the wife's T&C. We are going to Chicago in a couple of weeks to see #2 daughter and go to her son's baptism. Our #3 son is the godfather and a bunch of us are going west. Real busy at work also may have to work some weekends b4 and after visit. Busy is good means money is coming in. Thanks for asking and thanks for another lesson Dr.
IM glad you are staying busy but taking time for family. Blessings friend
:> )
Mine went at 48000 miles. The GMC dealer wanted 700.00 to fix it. Did it myself for the cost of the hub 160.00
hey Tim, how is there no rust on 10+ year old vehicles rust up there in Alaska? Aren't you near the ocean with that salt water air and salt on the roads? Over here in Massachusetts, all we see is rust.
We are near the ocean but as long as vehicles stay out of the salt water it seems like they do ok. I own several trucks that get driven in the salt water and they about rust in half after just a few years. But no road salt is the key reason we don't have excessive rust here I believe. Thanks for visiting!
Where does O-ring go on a 2500 hub bearing? Saw that it is recommended on HD models
No torque spec for axle nut?
V6 nice
I don`t think i ever had one of those bearings drop out of the spindle like that one did. I usually have to beat on them with a sledge hammer and air chisel to remove them. Must be nice...no rust.
It is very nice. Trust me. Im sorry for what you must deal with on a regular basis.
Great video subscribed
good job
Torque specifications help I'm sitting here working on it
Oh crud. They are different for different production ranges.
I have an 03 durango that needs wheel bearings and everything else in the front end. 4x4/awd. Today it started "grind grind thud thud thud" sound. Deff a rotational sound. would you say hub replacement to your best judgement? I know You've talked about wheel bearings in other videos... national or moog brands right? whats the best hub assy I can best?
I love the national/moog brand. Sounds like jacking the front end up and checking for play in the hub and spinning the wheel while listening for noise would be a good place to start. Hope you get it nailed down!
I've known I need a whole new front end unfortunately just didn't realize it was so close haha. I was only up the street when that happened thank goodness
i had one of those bad on a tahoe at just over 40k once was about as loose as that one too
Crazy. I can't believe they couldn't make a better wheel bearing.
Where are the stickers? And cutting the keeps off with the torch is way easier.
could there be any other reason for a wheel to have "play" (be loose)? or is it always the wheel bearing having gone bad? - thanks
Could be ball joints. Jack the car up, if the wheel moves independently of the knuckle/spindle, than its definitely wheel bearing/hub , or loose lug nuts but im assuming you checked those already.
tim, no rust in alaska? thought there was snow up there. they dont use salt? good video.
No, just a lot of plowing and sand. Also lots of folks use studded and studless tires in winter
Could you please tell me once the wheel bearing starts going bad roughly about how long can you drive on it before potentially the wheel falls off
Could hang on for a year or two or it could decide to hurl your wheel to the nearest ditch at the next turn. Definitely not something I’d put off. (Don’t ask me how I know)
@@jimmybouly ok thank You
I about to do the pitman arm and idler arm on my 07 gmc 4x4 classic any recommendations? I can't find a video for this truck.
Sorry I just saw this post. I don't have a video of that but will make one the next time I get one in. Good luck.
Its the same way on my Chevy 2500HD plow truck.
What's the cost for such a repair?
What kind of torque wrench do you use?
SnapOn
wow that just fell apart like nothing. over in NY it would take a sledge hammer or an air hammer and 30 mins of beating the crap out of it to get the bearing out
Not sure i could work on a rust free vehicle .
is it true that cars in the junk yard there have headstones that read "Rust In Pieces"?
Yes , Rust To Pieces . Makes for easy recycling
Is there ... MOONSHINE in.. Alaska
Preferably... Sausage 🌭 Wallet Moonshine flavor....lol
Ok..enjoy...
Ya its a bitch without impact. In mpls mn Salt rust is destroying cars.
Also ive never torked anything because...never mind.
I even salvage old struts by refilling them with lube oil. Take wheel off and drill into strut one inch from top. but then I let the car down and brace under the axel or disk to allow the strut to be at normal pressure. fill with a heavy lube. Hose clamp the hole with any piece of rubber on it.
wow, 140 f-lbs sounds excessive for aluminum wheels.
Seems like a lot too but that's the spec. I guess they don't want the wheel falling off...ever!
You funny. You removed that hub by hand.
