Maybe add in the video description that the wheel hub nut might be 36mm instead of 35 on some models.

[@carljuliano6534]

Awesome video, I did both hubs on my 2010 Equinox. Paid $55 each off Amazon. Took about 2hrs to do one hub. I struggled with the 2nd because one of the 3 hub bolts was rusted tight and the head stripped. I was able to hammer an extractor on the rounded head and finally got it out. Banging the hub off the axle is a pain, just use a heavy hammer.

[@jonathanmusch-ww7bb]

Very well executed! to the point!

[@nutburger123]

You guys have saved me money with the good deals on your parts and way more money with these excellent videos!

[@SirGolfalot-]

Very understandable. I thought it would be a nightmare of a job. Thanks for making the video

[@larryvm535]

This video saved my bacon. I loved the step-by-step. I will have to invest in a smaller torque wrench since I couldn’t fit it underneath the wheel. Well, the information is great I love this channel.

Great video. Was looking for an Equinox video but this does the job. Thanks again. Very informative.

[@itss_____________1888]

FANTASTIC VIDEO!!!!! One of the best I've ever seen. Not a bunch of useless blah. Thank you, because my gmc has a small sound coming from the same wheel, but haven't diagnosed it yet. Your video will be helpful in figuring out the problem/solution.

[@danieljohnson6862]

I didn't order my hubs from 1A (maybe I should have), but I did want to warn others that might be trying this at home. I have a 16 Terrain SLT V6 AWD. The hub nut on mine was 36mm, not 35, so check quick before the whole wheel is off. Second, I got a PowerStop hub from RockAuto, and they don't list the lug nut size on most of the listings. I ended up with with an M12 post instead of an M14. I need to still replace the calipers and rotors, so it feels like a wasted weekend. Ordered the pair of hubs from 1A and I'll try again next weekend.

[@johnmurphy9688]

Thanks you for the info. I'll be doing this to my GMC terrain 2010 this week. Cheers Lad 🇮🇪🇺🇸👍👍

[@scottatkins1499]

Great video, thank you! My driver side front axle nut was 35 mm, but passenger front was 36 mm. Have both in case yours is also like this! 😂

[@ardesignsrc]

Awesome video. Thanks for giving torque specs. Where do you find them?

[@plankedwoodworking1098]

What is the washer I saw on the shaft when you pulled the hub? Is it necessary? My hub and cv joint didn't come with one? Toss?

[@greggarner4477]

Torque specs and all! Thank you guys so much!

[@joehawthorn3018]

Hello at 7:50 what is the washer like with 3 tabs what does it do and does it need to put back in place??? Thanks for your response..

[@100fredkrueger]

You guys have the best videos by far. I have been able to do many repairs myself because of it. I really appreciate it. I’m getting ready to replace my front lower control arms on my 08 Buick Enclave. My front left wheel is making a squeaky metal sound and I can’t figure out what it is. Everything looks good. And my CV axle is about two years old. Do you know why could cause this issue? Thanks again!

[@PhatChanceAthat]

Great video! One Question, What is the reasoning behind him clicking the torque wrench twice. I thought once it clicks you are good to go. Won't that damage the torque wrench quciker doing it twice?

[@spikeshartell4675]

I've heard that it isn't necessary to put the torx bolt back in through the rotor and that it's only there as part of an assembly process at the factory, how true is that? I'd rather not put them back in if I don't have to because where I live rust is an issue and while my car hasn't been through a winter here yet it is around the corner. It'd be nice to have one less thing that could potentially seize up on me.

[@VDot1000]

Great video 👍🏽. I had a hard time getting the hub off (2 days), but I eventually got there.

Great job, all info covered thank you. 1A auto

[@craigmines255]

Very well said love the video it help me thanks😂

[@garrettbrogdon7322]

What kind of grease are you using? Says anti-sieze under video description, is that correct?

[@waldtk3000]

My wheel bearing assembly is not coming off. I removed the three fasteners holding it to the hub (of course followed all the steps shown in the video) and tried to hammer it off with a sledge hammer, penetrating oil, and even a gear puller wheel bearing separator to no avail. The gear puller managed to it partially moving out at an angle but not completely separate it. Mine is 4-wheel drive, hopefully that is not a factor.

[@1AAuto]

+Lazarus Wald Keep at it. It will come off

[@LeninBenitez-f3s]

Nice and clean job nice video

[@jeffgraffham2981]

Same process on a 2012 equinox?

[@stuarttaylor2107]

What are tell tell signs my wheel bearing is bad?

[@miguelgordillo777]

Can you use same spindle axle nut?

[@keawekaleikini1913]

How would I know if it's the hub or the lower control arm? My brakes shake but on a rotational motion. I've changed rotors and pads and it's getting worse. So it's not a warped rotor.

[@justinepstein4756]

Hey guys love your videos. My question is that the axle shaft will not move in and out and the hub bearing doesnt even spin at all....not enough force or should i use a hub puller?

[@1AAuto]

+Justin Epstein You can try to use a CV axle shaft puller to remove the axle. 1aauto.com

[@justinepstein4756]

Not trying to remove the axle. Just a rusted stuck bearing. In your video he loosened the axle with the mallet. Mine is probably rusted in place.

[@stephencicero]

FYI 2013 terrain 2wd spindle socket is 36mm. Not 35mm

[@jeremyosborn4009]

learned this the hard way had to borrow a car and speed to home depot to get one lol. l

[@indycrownroyal]

Awesome video, thank you so much!

[@jamiekelly5312]

Are the torque specs the same on a 2008 GMC Acadia. I can't seem to find them it's like. TOP SECRET information

[@1AAuto]

+Jamie Kelly The torque specs would be different. If you contact your local dealership with your VIN they should be able to tell you your torque specifications.

[@fidenciocortes6174]

Do this torque specs apply to my equinox LT 2016??? Thank you in advance,

[@trevorc4052]

I just spent $750 in car parts replacing spring assembly, lower control arm, swaybar links, and outer tie rod on my 2010 Arcadia only to now hear a loud whistling sound coming from the front wheels. Praying this is the final fix.

[@1AAuto]

+Trevor C Best of luck with your repairs!

[@awanabchue1141]

Excelente trabajo en la filmación

[@1AAuto]

+Awanab Chué Thank you for your positive feedback! We are happy we could help.

[@1r2i3c4h]

I’m confused. Your video says the axle nut is 35mm but everywhere I look to purchase a replacement says it’s a 36mm. Only reason I ask is because I don’t have either a 35mm or 36mm socket. Never needed one. I don’t want to buy the wrong socket.

[@robertoaguilar3908]

What size is 36mm

[@stevelerch27]

Darn, these are good videos!

[@williammareda]

You have a 14 mm socket listed in what’s needed it should say 13 mm

[@Calaverajoker13]

Very helpful. Thank you. I'm sure it's the same or very similar for a 2013 Silverado LT 5.3 4x4?

[@1AAuto]

+Carlos Chapa Yes it will be similar to your vehicle! www.1aauto.com

[@Calaverajoker13]

1A Auto Parts thank you

[@stevelerch27]

Is this system similar to a 2016 Canyon?

[@joehawthorn3018]

Correction...Wheel lugs nuts should be torqued to 140 ft lbs....125ft lbs they will come loose in a short time .

[@whitetailenthusiast8]

What's a good quality digital torque wrench that won't break the bank?

[@steved8714]

None, digital is garbage

[@couchpotatoe3204]

Avoid digital torque wrenches. Get the click style.

[@masongreen1871]

After doing this all my abs. Traction control lights are on?

[@davechapel4514]

Did your lights go off eventually?

[@yermoffroad]

This is a year old, I'm sure you've figured it out but you broke your wheel sensor or the new one is defective

[@kalfriesen5670]

My question is does this wheel hub have the encoder or tone rings in it. If it doesn't the ABS won't work, the stabilitrac will turn off and turn off the ABS. Most parts I've seen don't mention having the ABS ring in the hub, only the more expensive ones mentioned it. Keep that in mind when you buy a hub. Also some of those cheaper ones mention meeting OEM specs but they don't say the ABS rings/encoder aspect of them. So that confused me, it seems the wheel bearing hub assemblies can fit a few different makes of vehicles, so be sure to get one that has the ABS rings/encoders. If there is anything else I need to know please let me know as I haven't purchased the assembly yet.

[@dewood007]

Chevy Traverse awd axle nut is 34mm FYI

[@ChrisLincolnHomes]

How about a video for the rear control arms?

[@1AAuto]

We're always cycling through cars filming hundreds of common repairs for common vehicles every month. We'll add this to our list of repairs to film. Check back again and hopefully we'll have it soon. +Chris Lincoln

[@disarmyou84]

Yeah everything was great with the video except the axle nut size was incorrect it’s not a 35 mm it’s a 36 I brought home tools to do the job but left a 36 mm at my job so when I got home I had to go out to the auto parts store and buy it because in the video it said it was a 35 mm. Just a heads up

[@MARCUSYT123]

I wish I seen your comment sooner. I live in the bush and over s hour drive for a store with sockets each way

[@americasgotseriousproblems2632]

Exellent!

[@1983ylf]

may I know what resin are you using?

[@craigthibodeau324]

The hub nut is 36mm.

[@alexbrice3742]

Would this be a similar process for the rear wheel bearings regardless of FWD or AWD?

[@octavioalanis2651]

No

[@Kornpop45]

Its not always a 35mm. I've had to run to town twice now to get the right socket

[@Kornpop45]

36mm deep well

[@Kornpop45]

Youre welcome

[@BrianSundrop]

The problem I have is I cant get the 35 mm bolt off even having the breaks applied because it keeps spinning ?? but do I need the vehicle on not running is that what I'm doing wrong

[@1AAuto]

+Brian Conrad The nut should just come off, you do not need to apply the brakes or have the vehicle on. If you are unable to remove that nut I recommend you take it to a trusted mechanic to remove, as there could be another issue with your vehicle! 1aauto.com

[@OpenMynd82]

If only I had a LIFT to raise my car in the air and be able to get a good angle on loosing nuts and bolts....all work I easy when the car is in the air vs on a jack and jack stands and your upside down trying to loosen nuts and bolts

[@MARCUSYT123]

It's a 36mm socket

[@robertmoore3186]

Thats a 36 mm nut on that axle. Not a 35 mm.

[@PhatChanceAthat]

My 2015 Denali has 35 mm, 36 mm has too much play.

[@RobertBrownbrowncone]

Great video, thank you!
