03 Chevy Silverado 2wd front wheel hub swap

[@jeffro221]

I'm sure that $30-40 chinesium hub bearing will last at least 3 months. But it saved you so much money. Then you get to do it all over again.

[@dashautorepair]

Contrary to belief, these parts actually last a while. The customer has had this truck now for, 2 years. No issues. Don’t believe what you hear… or always take with a grain of salt. Hope this helps you save a buck next time. Happy holidays

@@dashautorepair Too many stories all over KZbin of people saving money buying chi-comm cheapo bearings and failing soon. I'll always buy a highly rated name. But if that works for you, ok. For me, if it is a component that can put me on the side of the road (like this) , I'm not going to gamble.

Im doing the same thing to my 99 Sierra in the morning. Just glad i dont live in the rust belt, lol. Thanks for the info. Great job

[@dashautorepair]

Good luck sir! The rust is the worst part, lol! If you run into anything lmk and thanks!

[@kellismith4329]

That came off super easy for you, one of mine is making a bit of sound I sense like a winter tire kind of grind faintly - I can wiggle the steering as I drive that kinda changes the noise so mine is due. I live where there is much rust etc I suspect mine will offer more resistance to disassembly. I feel like they should be changed in pairs will do both front and dust covers, brake lines etc

[@dashautorepair]

This thing gave me hell for a second. A press would have certainly helped. Hey preventative maintenance isn’t a bad thing! Good luck out there

[@kellismith4329]

Did my drivers side, took a few days including getting it all blocked up and trying to remove the failed bearing it was welded by rust, it was nasty involving much pounding, heating, cursing etc My bearings were worn much worse that I suspected had alot of play, finished it off with new bolts, dust covers and caliper/hose, gonna run smooth now

[@donhenson4920]

Have you got this same but on a 2005chevy 4 wheel drive

[@dashautorepair]

Yep - Same situation pretty much. You will want to use the bolt trick to "unpress" the wheel bearing out of the hub.

[@timpierce3765]

I've got to do that to mine also.

[@dashautorepair]

Its a fun task. Enjoy!

[@timpierce3765]

​@Rish is this for 4wd or 2wd? All the hubs I see say 4wd unless I'm overlooking it

[@kellismith4329]

@@timpierce3765 they are not interchangeable, the 4wd version has a hole in the middle for axle shaft

[@jacobwestcott4536]

Spin the old one a few more times, just to make sure…

[@dashautorepair]

[@jacobwestcott4536]

Your outer tie rod boot is shot so you need new tie rod ends.

[@dashautorepair]

I agree, it was a flip.

[@DarrinHensley]

Bro. Use elbow grease instead of strip science. Hopefully you used new hardware to mount everything back…

Invest in a breaker bar for this job
