How To Replace a Front Wheel Bearing 1996-1998 Chevy GMC 1500 4x4 1/2 Ton Truck

[@superdave7241]

I was checking out your video that you mentioned had reasons for clunking and grinding and whining sounds coming from my vehicle and then I realized, every time my wife and I were driving somewhere and her mother wasn't in the backseat those noises went away 🤔😜😁

[@hugotorrado3948]

Very good video, explanations step by step. Best Regards and keep presenting new videos 100% schooling.

[@kleenchevyrida]

Nice detailed video..was gonna pay my mechanic to replace mine front two on my 98 Tahoe..but I'm going to use this video to do it myself..it's better to do your own work anyway .. Thanks for the experienced video!

[@WrenchSense]

Glad to help. It's not a bad job to do. Save yourself a bunch of cash too doing it yourself. Let me know how it went. If you have any other questions let me know. Thanks

[@kleenchevyrida]

@@WrenchSense thanks for replying and yes I'll be sure to let us know how it goes this weekend

[@itspk4209]

I'm doing both my hubs and upper and lower ball joints this weekend.... great help with this video

[@jediknightprowler]

In the middle of doing this job on a 96 K1500. The 3 bolt heads were pretty much rusted away. Helped to hammer a deep well 9/16th impact socket on them. and then use a breaker bar while heating the spindle with a propane torch, also spray the lube through the holes in the back side of the spindle. Still had to cut the head off of the top bolt, it was just to far gone. Then was able to remove the old hub. Then was able to remove the rest of the bolt with vise grips and heating the spindle from the inside bottom Replacement bolts are available at Oreilly's by Dorman

[@jediknightprowler]

it also helps to clean the bolt heads off with a wire brush before getting started

Great communication skill dude. Quick and to the point. I'm a new subscriber.👍

[@WrenchSense]

Awesome. Thank You

[@christopherstieger410]

I also put the tire under the frame for extra safety if the jack stand gives out

[@seal-n-shinedetailing7348]

If anybody is needing to change a idler arm. I have a video with step by step explanation with details and tools required. It's a 12 minute video .

[@ryanfluck4441]

Never saw the torque specs displayed at top of screen. Good video tho. Thanks dude

[@WrenchSense]

It's because KZbin stopped letting us use annotations in the videos. It was there. KZbin removed it. But thanks for watching!

[@playerunknown4529]

@@WrenchSense so then, where to find it? Thank✌

[@tonypadilla6404]

Good video . THANKS DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS THE TORQUE ON BIG NUT

[@xxsilentdead]

thank you sir can barely find parts for c1500 gmc let alone people to work on an 91....

[@WrenchSense]

You bet. Glad to help. Personally, I like the older stuff. Also the price of the older models are going up and becoming more desirable. In fact, if you spot an early 90's one ton quad cab let me know.

[@manguydude287]

good video. I like hearing stories from a voice of experience that help me remember to not fuck up.

[@jrcliff5]

I have a 97 k1500 when you turn to the right at 35 or more there is a growl on the right side but its fine on slow turns

[@steelspike5619]

Since nobody else is doing it; It sounds like the CV, or Constant Velocity, joint is going out on the right side.

[@WrenchSense]

If it is growling and not clicking in turns it is absolutely a bad bearing.

[@VonDankDaFyd420]

Nice!!! U saved me about 700$ thank you much!!!

[@WrenchSense]

Awesome! Thanks for the comment!

[@truckerpeterose]

Not the last year for the 5.7 vortec. Nice video

[@whiterosemotors9026]

For the half tons it was. But they did use them in hd applications till 2000 and in vans until the mid 2000s.

[@Lightning7474.]

very helpful video....I used a slide hammer to get the hub off. can you say a pain in the back!! thanks for the video.

[@jorgefonseca9225]

hi mate i havea suburban 95 8boolts!! so probably is a similar work right? i need change on my to great vedeo and great explainations sir!! good help i apreciate thanks cheers from norway

[@WrenchSense]

Yes! Very similar. Thanks for watching!

[@samuelsmith8576]

Cool song on phone for a ring tone

[@jeffreyvasquez7356]

I have a 1994 GMC Suburban 4x4 1500 and it’s also making a growling sound that comes and goes, REALLY LOUD. I was told it was front differential but after seeing this video I think it might be the bearing. Any way I can send a video maybe someone can help me pinpoint what’s actually messed up?

[@WrenchSense]

Watch this video of mine for a part near the beginning on how you can tell if your wheel bearing is bad. If this is no help let me know and I can assist further. Thanks! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKabnZ-Jp96Shq8

[@jayoh3909]

Hey man I was i have the sle k 1500 and my front drver tire wobbles on the road may this be the wheel barring too?

[@brandonstacy2678]

What the spec on that axle nut? Replacing mine soon was considering just picking up a Haynes manual

[@tanyasmith1843]

Were you able to figure out the torque?

[@brandonstacy2678]

Believe 165 ft.lb

[@bigchoochoo3670]

please tell me what tool you used to get those two bolts off on the back of the caliper??

[@bigchoochoo3670]

Keeper Of The Reaper actually I think I ended up having to use a T55 thing idk it was a pain in the ass

[@bigchoochoo3670]

Keeper Of The Reaper I'm sure it did work, however I just ended up using a T55 torx bit

[@iLLunatic]

Would this be the same for a 1993 chevy 2500 2wd? Front driver?

[@WrenchSense]

Very similar except that there will be no center axle nut since the 2WD has no front drive axle. Thanks for the question!

[@KingMarioRF]

@9:00 I’m still looking up to see the torque setting still nothin

[@WrenchSense]

Yeah sorry about that. KZbin decided they were not going to let us put notations in our videos anymore. That axle nut should be torqued to 165 ft lbs. I will add a card to the video and make a note in the video description right now. Thanks for watching and thanks for the reminder!

[@WrenchSense]

Should be there now. Thanks again!

[@KingMarioRF]

Wrench Sense hahaha yea no worries I was just being sarcastic brotha good video most wheel hubs come with a torque setting sheet

[@DAskew]

I need a cap mine didn't have one when I purchased it where can I find one

[@highpowerminers1476]

really helpful vid consder me subbed also did you make any vids on a carb kit for a 97 1500 5.7 v8?

[@konstantinepodaras3424]

not sure how old this is but I have a 96 yukon that needs both dust shields. any way to get a part number?

[@tanyasmith1843]

What poundage did you torque the front axle nut?

[@derekmarsh2709]

According to Napa replacement part note 177 lb ft

[@denisewashington7676]

my Mancanic is trying to rip me off their is little heat coming out of my car now and I never had this problem b4 and now it is getting cold I saw him go over to the blower motor and pull it out and said that was the problem how can I fix ity self

[@philr476]

What were the torque specs on the center hub nut

[@mikejohnson4748]

165ft lbs

[@Tha334Boyz]

3 ugga duggas should suffice

[@thebobloblawshow8832]

Thank you for the info. Great vid.👍👍🇨🇦

[@WrenchSense]

You bet! Glad I could help and thanks for the comment!

[@lamontmcdaniels322]

How did you get those 3 bolts of ??? I have 2000 Cadillac escalade having trouble with that

[@MoRBHD]

15mm socket with an impact thru the holes on the hub, little late lol

[@lamontmcdaniels322]

@@MoRBHD yeah I ended up stripping it but it got fixed lol thanks tho

[@demoking1422]

Great video very informative Thanks

[@tuckerhardy2229]

Where did you purchase the new one? Thanks

[@theonlyoddest5429]

Did you ever have a problem where the truck would shake when you put it in 4 wheel drive?

[@WrenchSense]

At high speed? I would check the u joints on the front drive shaft. Could have a bad one that is throwing the shaft out of balance.

[@theonlyoddest5429]

The is for replying if checked the truck and when I put it in 4 low or high it jerks the passenger side wheel moves and shakes

[@WrenchSense]

@@theonlyoddest5429 Check the axle shaft on the front passenger side?

[@WrenchSense]

Any luck with this problem?

[@John-gf8ih]

Is this the same as a 1500

[@italianostalian0]

Yes he is right dont think you can not rely on any jack to safely hold a vehicle up. If it falls on your lower half of your body you will not die instantly and will suffer until you finally do.

[@NathanScaglione100G]

mine is '98 2×4 - does make a diff?

[@dallasalford179]

Most excellent!

[@jayoh3909]

A guy told me the garnisher bolt is loose is th at even possible he talked about my wheel falling off in turns

[@bradcollins6746]

you don't have to grease the bearing?

[@kevinnkadeslowrideraddicti216]

Brad Collins ....That I have No Idea...but since your question was the Most Recent maybe you can help me...I own a 95 sle gmc 1500 extended cab, the 3bolts I can Not get off...Dont have much access to air tools...Any backyard ideas on how to get those 3RUSTED bolts off...15mm too big..14mm works..cant get a 13mm ?

[@bradcollins6746]

Kevin Reid can't help ya there other than soaking them in wd40 over night. or take it to a shop of that don't work.

[@kevinnkadeslowrideraddicti216]

Brad Collins ... Hey for the feedback and will try it out... Thanx

[@bradcollins6746]

That torque spec flew past my vision i think 😅

[@spymaine89]

in enlightenment we understand why after ''hacks'' work on yr truck all else fails.

False they had the 5.7l vortec in the 99’s halfway thru
