How to Remove and Replace the Wheel Hub Assembly and Wheel Bearing! Jeep Grand Cherokee WK2

[@dnf0929]

Thanks for a great tutorial! This gave me the confidence to tackle it (successfully!) myself. Getting the old one off was pretty tough. Ended up putting an old rotor on and using a sledgehammer. For anyone who has a 2016 Grand Cherokee Laredo you need an E20 external torx socket to get the brake calipers off. Amazing what a difference...I didn't realize how loud the old one was until I took it for a ride after finishing.

Thanks so much for taking from your time to make this video. It's been so helpfull cause I have the same problem on my JGC 2012. I even changed new AT tires to Regular Road Tires thinking that was the problem.. I really appreciate your help through this video!! Jeffrey Thompson from Costa Rica!! Thumbs Up!!

[@OurSimpleAdventures]

You're welcome Jeffrey! Glad it helped!

[@tyroking]

Thank for the video. Very helpful while swapping the assembly on my 2018. Adding the wrench sizes and torque specs particularly helpful.

Hey you're welcome D Rex. Glad it helped and thanks for the nice comment!

i wish... here in chicago the road salt has it rusted in solid

[@OurSimpleAdventures]

You might need a bigger Hammer in Chicago! Lol

[@kevinoutlaw2764]

You could apply heat to the back of the assembly to loosen it. Just be careful not to melt your ABS wire

[@SSHitMan]

I'm also in Chicago, 2014 Grand Cherokee 4WD. I banged on it with a 3 lb hammer, no joy. Then a 10 lb sledge hammer, still nothing. Then I heated it good and hot with a MAPP gas torch, just the side I could get to where the heat shield is cut out because the ABS sensor is on the other side and didn't want to damage that. Then smacked it with the sledge again and voila! Off it came. Presumably you got yours off eventually, your comment is nearly a year old just throwing this out there for others.

Slide hammer......with PB Blaster applied before hand. Let it marinate for a hour or so

You look like a wise man. I gotta do mine tomorrow, replaced it 2 years ago Moog brand and the thing is not doing well,gotta from ebay not warranty i think. have changed the last 3 years ,3 wheel bearings for the same car, these are not well made nowadays Take care

[@OurSimpleAdventures]

Wow no kidding. Yeah I can't remember in 40 years of owning cars having a wheel bearing go bad. Thanks again for the nice comments! God Bless!

[@greglloyd2377]

Does the ABS sensor connect to the hub directly? I have a replacement I ordered but it doesn't have any visible place for the ABS sensor to connect. I have a 2014.

[@OurSimpleAdventures]

Hi Greg, It should connect to the brake assembly. Please Subscribe and hit that notification bell and let us know if you find it. Thanks!

@@OurSimpleAdventures Thanks for the response I will be replacing my hubs, rotors, and brakes in the morning.

[@metop33]

2005 to 2014 ABS sensor was attached

[@kevinoutlaw2764]

I have a 2019. The specs should be the same as in the 2015, right?

[@OurSimpleAdventures]

Gosh probably but you'll want to verify. I don't know.

[@mariomiranda4377]

What size for the axle nut?

[@OurSimpleAdventures]

Please watch the video. 32mm

Great video! Where did you get the puller tool from?

Thanks Clayton! Gosh I've had it forever. I'm sure Harbor Freight would have them or maybe Home Depot?? Please Subscribe & Hit that Notification Bell as there will be more!

[@StickNclutch]

Hello, I how many miles on your JGC?? this video is very helpful! I just bought my JGC altitude I absolutely love it.. Have you had any other type of issues with your grand cherokee besides the hub?

[@OurSimpleAdventures]

[@nissanquest2002]

What mileage did the wheel bearing start wearing out ? Good video and informative tools needed .

[@OurSimpleAdventures]

Gosh I think I started hearing it about 40,000 miles. I haven't had to do a wheel bearing in years! Thanks for the question and nice comments. Please Subscribe & hit that notification bell as there will be more!

22:24 I'm sorry to tell you but that's the power steering reservoir. The brake reservoir is towards the firewall. Anyway, well done on the rest of the job.

Did you buy a new axle nut as well or did you use the original?

Thanks for the question Jack. I used the original. If you haven't already, give us a follow and Subscribe as there will be more!
