How to replace 2013 Chevy Malibu Rear Hub Assembly - (2013-2017)

[@kevinmarsh4153]

other than needing to disconnect the battery terminal The only other thing that I noticed as a tech is to NOT forget about the torque parameters when tightening things back up. Other than that, this video was awesome. Simple, short, and to the point with not a lot of and unneeded chatter and information.

[@0077alley]

Great video, I just finished up mine. My only suggestion I have and maybe I missed something but when you set the e-brake it locks your brakes onto the rotor. I had to disengage the brake to remove the calipers.

[@patrickosborne3132]

Haven't done mine yet, but that was the first thing I thought while watching. Why do that? You'll never get the caliper off the rotor. Great video though.

[@spyder61man]

So I am not the only one who realized he locked caliper down and he did not mention that it had to be released to remove.

[@JOHNSUE28]

@@spyder61man He obviously doesn't really know or realize what he is doing. Definitely Amateur hour at work. When he tells someone to visit the dealer for torque specs it really means he did the job without proper specs to finish it correctly. And Safely.

Great video!! it allowed me to replace my rear wheel hub assemblies for the first time. But now it is time for me to replace the front. Is the process exactly the same for the front? or is there any thing different i should know about?

[@edwardmmanns7454]

I used a regular size pipe wrench on the hub once it was unbolted. Using a small, short handled sledge type hammer on the hub... would have been easier with a longer pipe wrench handle. All in all a nice video.

[@JustinPVlogs]

Hey there, when you jacked up the vehicle where did you place the stand? I know you jacked from the pinch weld but idk about the jack stand

[@l.o.lworld2110]

Wow that was some good information I hade my rare hubs done but now I'm hearing a noise I'm guessing it might be my front Hubs is it the same procedure

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders Is the hub assembly the same thing as wheel bearings🤔

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

L.O.L World Thanks for the reply & great question. The Bearing will rest inside the Hub. All things connected with be your Wheel Bearing Hub Assembly. Great question! 😎👍🔧🔩

[@ATthemusician]

My bearings were super stuck. What I did was bought 3 long 1/2 bolts with matching flange nuts, fed them through the hub so they would push into the knuckle when torqued, and then took turns torquing them til the bearing just popped right out. Yes it will put some small divots into the aluminum plate, but that's a small price to pay.

[@FrightKnight17]

Great video. Going to do the same wheel on my Malibu this weekend. Did you worry about specific torques on any of the bolts?

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Did this bearing last. I have changed 2 on the left rear over the last 2 years using a car quest bearing. It's got play again so I need to get another one.

As a tech that just wanted to see what tools I needed to being home for a side job, this video was great. But I can tell you disconnecting the battery is pointless, And so was setting the parking brake. Otherwise thank you.
