Excellent video. After watching this, I think I can do it myself and save some money. Update I was able to replace both front bearing due to this video. I did have a problem taking off the bearing after unbolting. I had to use a propane torch to bust the rusted bearings off. The heat expanded the metal enough to break the rusted seal. Thanks again for posting. You saved me hundreds of dollars I don't have. You got a new subscriber.

thanks for posting this video recently replaced rotors and calipers and the rotor was rusted to hub, and was quite difficult In retrospect should have just removed hub & rotor as a unit This video gives me confidence I can tackle this job

[@s33therfan]

Thank you for the great feedback , it is much appreciated.

[@Soladaddy]

Have done this 3 times before. I like the idea of turning the assemble to get to that top bolt. I had to use a u-joint to get to it as the other tire was on the ground and couldn't turn for a more direct shot. I'll need to remember that the next time, which is due on the right side in about 25k miles.

Great Instructor.

[@s33therfan]

Thank you very much for the kind words I appreciate it . Thanks for watching.

[@tco4714]

I’ve always heard of people saying the bearings need packed real well.. are these prepacked with grease ? I was picturing a wheel bearing as just a bearing but it appears to come in its own housing? Man Idk much about wheelchair bearings but this video makes it look easy .. thank you

[@tco4714]

Wheel not wheelchair lol

[@s33therfan]

Thanks for watching.

[@billywalls3378]

I to have a 08 hhr. Love this car. I got 2 15 in soundqubed subs and audio pipe apcl 1800 in it. Doin upholstery now also lol.

[@ltroastaboch]

is there a torque spec!

[@jmpintx]

What was that big washer you took off behind the breaks? Is it important one side of my car had it and the other side didn't.

[@s33therfan]

Its a dust shield or splash shield, it isn't necessary. Thanks for watching.

[@markr.1584]

Should you change CV shafts while its torn down that far?

[@s33therfan]

I would not change them unless the boots were visibly dry rotted / cracked or there was a popping clicking noise from damage already . Great question . Thank you for watching.

[@daniellespikes2452]

Do you know how much the parts and labor may cost for both? I was give an estimate of $226 dollars for both. None abs.

[@s33therfan]

The parts ran me about $50 for both front wheel hub bearings, they could be around $70 each depending on the brand. Around $200 with labor seems normal. I would reccomend checking around your area just to make sure . The difference sometimes from one shop to the next could be significant. The main thing I would want them to warranty the work for atleast some period of time. Great question and thank you for watching.

[@daniellespikes2452]

Thank you

[@newtrm11]

What brand did you put on your HHR in this video?

[@s33therfan]

Non Abs: ( no wire connector on hub ) amzn.to/2YKyVsZ With abs: ( will have a wire connector) amzn.to/3iOKF4w Thank you for watching.

[@tawanamarshall1912]

Thanks!

[@Roma-rusk]

Will replacing this affect the alignment?

[@s33therfan]

It may affect it some but with this part it would be minimal. Thanks for watching.

[@BradVicious]

In your opinion, could this be done without air tools?

[@s33therfan]

Yes . Most definitely . It may be a little more work , but no problem. Thanks for the feedback.

[@BradVicious]

@@s33therfan okay, cool. thank you for the response

[@ChrisColbjornsen]

If you're the passenger in the car you will feel the vibration coming from the bearing in my case.

[@cash5092]
