For guys who care: Caliper: 30 ft lbs......Caliper Bracket 75 ft lbs.......Hub center bolt (35mm) 177 ft lbs......Hub back mount bolts (15mm) 75 ft lbs.
Thanks, I've been looking everywhere for this info!!
“Clark that’s the gift that keeps on giving the whole year!” Thanks for the info.
THE REAL MVP!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU KIND STRANGER
Edit. Unfortunately this is wrong. For a 2wd silverado 1500: hub bolts 133ftlbs, caliper bracket 129ftlbs, caliper bolts 80ftlbs
Two wheel drives don't have a hub center bolt and on a four-wheel drive I believe it's a 36
Great video. One of the few videos that worked out exactly as my 2003 Silverado was built. Usually, I have to watch 5 videos and piece part from all 5 videos to get a job done. Not this job.
I could do brakes but was "antsy" about wheel bearing/ hubs until watching the video and realizing that this was really the next step in teardown after brakes.
I realized that I could indeed do this job myself and save money. That's what I did.
Thank you very much.
I have a 2007 GMC Sierra classic with 320,000 miles front end has never been touched, getting ready to go through it thanks nice video.
Awesome. Thank you, your video was the first I found to change one for a two wheel drive truck.
I have a 2003 Suburban that has a noisy left wheel bearing. I thought might as well do both while I'm at it. Your video gave me the courage to tackle the job myself this Thanksgiving weekend. Well done video, Thanks.
Give her hell , good luck and happy Thanksgiving 😊
Thanks Joe. I actually bought a wheel hub breaker ATD 8629, when I saw how hard it was to get the one off in the video. You helped me alot, and saved me 350$ in labor. Have a good day.
Just. Buy new hub and knuckle the new brake pads and always change new rotors and abs sensor all new parts save you time and your ass new brake lines and if you do it yourself less than one 3rd the total cost of a mechanics labor alone do your self a favor do it right once
$350 labor????
Awesome man. Great video its been years since ive done this job. Gotta do both side this weekend on my Colorado. This vid was extremely helpful. Thanks a lot man.
Instablaster
Thank you . Getting ready to do my 1999 Suburban. Very Helpful.
Very helpful got to the point showed everything never done this job before on a truck gonna be done to mine soon for the first time
Thank you for this video, all the other videos I saw were for 4wd. Great idea with the old rotor.
T55 socket,18mm, 15mm, 40 grit sandpaper to clean out the rest ring, you're better off using a 2 inch wire wheel. A 5/32 drill bit in case you break off the plastic securing pin to the harness that holds the cable from the hub to the control arm.
Thanks for mentioning all the tools that you used.
Great video thank u.gave me confidence to try it.
Ok cars I use the wheel stud adapter for attaching a slide hammer, not sure if it will fit a truck hub but if so worth a shot the slide hammer works great for me
You must live in the Rust belt! I live down South and haven't seen rust like that since the early 70s before they started using galvanized panels in cars.
Thanks for the video, good help you are young jetti !!
Great video man appreciate the helpful tips
THANKS!!! Sincerely. Good job.
Perfect video. Everything you need and nothing you don't
Glad you think so! thanks for watching !!
For those that don't know any better, or just don't care to do it right, this video is fine. For those that do give a damn, don't take the caliper bolts out. Just remove the two(2) saddle(caliper bracket bolts). Pull the caliper and saddle off in one piece w/brake pads still seated in saddle. Don't beat on your rotor, even if ya have a "semi-new" one laying around that ya beat off the last truck. A slide hammer is best suited for removal of the hub. Attach it to hub face with lug nuts, and slide hammer it off. EASY!
If ya don't have one, or care to rent one, there is at least one small slot between the inboard hub face and steering knuckle, use a strong striking scraper, or a relatively flat chisel to tap into slot and get the hub broke free. Once it moves, a few light taps on the inboard face of the hub flange should get it onto the floor. If ya leave the bolts in to prevent it from falling or what not, it's possible, and in my experiences, likely to become wedged in the knuckle. I don't know all the torque specs, but definitely try and torque your wheels to factory specifications. GM aluminum wheels for 6 lug trucks should be torqued to 140 ft. lbs.. Going the extra mile in your work let's you drive it a few thousand more. Good luck!
Technique is everything;

Very informative. Thanks I needed that info.
Great video. Very helpful
wow ... this is the 2nd video i'v watched on this procedure and both of you guys had issues getting the old bearing out. i hope that i can do it in a driveway.
there not all like that but some are just down right terrible
Pro tip. Use a solid 3lb mallet to pund on it, not a dead blow hammer. Also, once there's a tiny bit of room behind the bearing. Take an air chisel to it. Might Mar the area up.butnjust grind it back down with a flap disc
just changed 1 out on my '02 2wd, sprayed everything with PB Blaster over 2 days and everything came right out easily
oh if you have the time to wait heck yeah spray it down and let it soak i unfortunately dont have the time frame like that
Thank you for your time.
Joe- thanks for the video! Replaced a worn out one that was quite firmly rusted in and this video helped a lot. One trick I used was using a chisel/punch set to wedge in-between the hub and plate (knuckle??) it mounted to right where the bolts screwed through as there is a small gap . This gave me extra force to try and pry it apart. That and letting it marinate overnight in PB Blaster did the trick.
Don't forget the Blue Locktite on the caliper bolts
I am currently in a bind with removing both sides of my crusty 2000 silverado, they are both stuck and not budging at all. Removing the knuckles does not look like its going to be any easier. Trying more heat to them and bigger hammer!
Finally got both sides off after a day and a half. I used heat, penetrating oil, giant hammers then finally air chisel. Also a method on a different video of 4 inch bolt in through stud hole.
thank you! this helped a bunch
Great video man Thank you
Good video really helpful bro
boy that truck has some serious rust!!! I'm glad I live in Sunny California.
california Sucks!!
They don't call it the rust belt for nothing baby
What's the torque spec for the bearing bolts?
Did our Silverado last week with this tutorial. It was a great help. One thought though. Could you turn the wheel and pound it out from the back. Maybe, maybe not..
indeed tried that but no luck , on a 4wd thats not an option so i didnt even think of showing it in this video
Thank you. Short, sweet, amen sir .
Good video but some torque specs would have been great.
Only back the hub bolts off about a quarter inch then tap them with a hammer. I don't know why everyone beats the crap out of the hub.
Oh shit, that's great. Why didn't I think of that. Thank you so much. The hub completely fell out of my sons so getting the outer race out of the spindle is proving to be a pain.
GREAT VIDEO BRO!
Appreciate it! thanks for watching
Good job!!!! Thanks
Me ayudo mucho este video todo muy Claro gracias
When a problem comes along you must whippet/beat it.
Joe the knuckle that the front wheel bearing mounts to. What is it called?
Thanks about to do this to my sister truck hope it's not stuck like that
Is it unusual for a front wheel not to want to spin freely after having installed a new wheel bearing assembly? I’m doing this on my 2006 Silverado 1500 rwd & it’s so tight after I can tighten the lug nuts all the way down with the truck still in the air.
Very helpful but idk if I would pound them out like that
I need a video of how to get the old rusted one off. Been beating my hub for two hours. 2001 TWO wheel drive
happen to me today, lol 4 hr still dont come out
An air hammer will vibrate damn near anything loose
Hey man I don’t know if you’ll respond considering this video is 6 years old but I been replacing my front suspension tryna figure out my wheels having massive vibration at 65 mph, gonna be replacing these could had wheel bearing cause this?
Very helpful 👍 thank you
You're welcome!
I swear you the only one on here who replaced the hub assembly the 2wd Chevy 1500
Subbed just because of this vid lol
thanks!!!!!!! glad you liked it
I sure did subscribed!
thanks so much!!!!
Do the 2wd not have a axel nut to take off?
Thanks to this I’m doing it myself instead of paying someone 400 bucks plus parts
Are those the 3 stock hub bolts?
Would a hydraulic puller help to get the wheel bearing off? Idk where u could mount the grabbers to tho.
This Old Jew a slide hammer would be the best
If I’m replacing my spindles for lowering spindles can I just buy the wheel bearing assembly and a new dust cover so I don’t have to beat it off? Just use all new parts?
THAT IS ABSOLUTEY A OPTION AND A GOODONE AT THAT
Had to watch this before I was comfortable busting out the hammer lol
I'm wanting to completely redo my dads front end on his 99 GMC 2wd. Where is the best place to go to buy parts? It's hard to find just a kit. I'm talking upper and lower, wheel bearing, knuckle, pitman arm, everything. Any suggestions where to go?
Buy quality parts from rockauto.com there are some cheap stuff on thier but you can get factory stuff for less than dealer prices and or better aftermarket cheaper than parts stores
You never torched any of the bolts
Put a new one and it does the same thing by shaking up and down with the tire up off the ground and it’s within the bearing and spindle
Would be nice to have seen how you removed the spindle.
Javi_so_cool _ it doesnt have a spindle... its 2wd
You needed to have sprayed the rotor down with brake cleaner prior to installing the caliper and brake pads. You have to clean off the dirt, oil and grime you left on there that can easily be seen before you put the caliper assembly back on. Sure fire way to have squealing with your brakes and possibly grooves in your rotor from the dirt and grime left on it.
Do you happen to know if it’s possible to just replace the bearings inside the hub?
No they are wheel hub assemblies , bearings not available separately
So the hub and bearings are a 1 piece sealed unit?
yes on this model
The front left driver side hub & bearing on my 2007 Chevy silverado 1500 is just being replaced for $ 397 parts & labor. It was making a crazy loud grinding and scratching noise for days. It was unbearable.
Ahh man Rosa next4 time you have a problem, avoid whoever you took it too and utilize someone that knows this stuff and can do it hella cheaper THUS still does it RIGHT the first time. That's a $150 for a home mechanic. Just had my caddy done by a mobile mechanic on the brakes rotors and front hubs for $200.
@@twportre8809 damn, I can’t find anything that low, with me buying the parts and just paying labor most are saying $340 🤷🏼♂️🙃
Torque specs ?
Removed the hub and 50% of ball joint lifespan! Stress cracks?? Who knows?? Use a puller or press. I stood next to a car one day, They told me how they did 70mph all the way home and made great time! As they pulled out of the driveway I watched the front left wheel collapse inwards as the upper ball joint snapped in half. Moral of the story is don’t beat the piss out of your joints!! Someones life may very well depend on it!!!!
never had one do that but i agree not the best for them
Would a 4 wheel hub work on a 2 wheel drive?
no it will not
Im doing the same thing ,except two of the three 15 mm on back of bearing assembly ,dont want to budge ... actually there rounding out . What do i do
Heat them up with a map gas torch be careful of your brake hose
@@JoeTheAutoGuy Also, only use 6 point sockets, I prefer impact sockets.
The one I’m my truck we might have to torch it. It’s stuck stuck
Why can't they go back to the old way of bearings
I hope my stuff doesn’t go hard like
your
Will this help with gas mileage down the road
if its bad then yes
When did you add the grease?
The hub is sealed no need to add grease
damn that thing was stuck!
omg yes it was seriously the worst one ive had to do on these trucks
+JoeTheAutoGuy your finally back yoo hoo
I’ve never Torque the bolts to put my hubs on or the brake or the tires I’ve never had a problem
Probably a slide hammer would make the removal easier
i have done that a few times but no luck on these stuck ones like this . best luck ive had is a air hammer and spin the the hub assembly mount side to side to split the rust ring that holds it in
I found a chisel helps get those unstuck ... at 3:59
How much is rustoleum where you live?
About average prices
i used a air hammer on mine
Yup air hammer most times but some just don't budge and you play the song of its people lol
If you're from Cali it will be easier ....😎🤙
Thanks bud! I got to do it myself and save some money I really appreciate it! Great simple video
Knock out a couple of studs and use another bolt to press it off... Don't have to work so hard...
Your are the man subscribed and notification!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks
This wheels hubs are such a fk pain in the ass. 2.5 hrs One side 45 minutes to the other side. 3.5 hrs job🥵
my 2001 chevy 2wd 1500 don't look the same mine have a rod.
Karl Keenan is it a half ton pickup?
JoeTheAutoGuy I don't know, it's a two door no back seat 2 wheel drive short bed 4.8 engine
Should be this set up ? Send a pic to my facebook if you can
it should be this set up
🔥🔥🔥🙏💯
You didn't give any torque specifications wow
Don't have to torque every Bolt on an automobile, if the torque part messes you up you may want to let someone else do it
Lol my front wheel bearing on my 04 Silverado is being a pain I’ve heated and banged and banged on that damn thing and it still won’t come out. I’m pretty sure it’s never been changed since the truck has been out 😂
Next time pull the whole knuckle off 3 bolts . Press or beat out the bearing. You shouldnt be doing videos dude!
Did you watch the video lol that's what I did
