No Loctite on the bearing hub assembly bolts?

[@vincenzogael5483]

i realize I'm kinda randomly asking but do anyone know of a good website to stream new tv shows online?

[@SuperDrummerJay]

Great videos, very helpful to see the process. Couple additions I'd mention, just from experience: 1. Hose down your pads/rotors with brake cleaner first. No one needs that dust in their lungs. 2. Take a minute before putting the new hub in, and scrub down the spindle, especially the mating surface where the new hub sits. Just a quick once over with a wire brush, to make sure to knock loose any rust or metal bits left behind. Then hose it down with brake cleaner again before the new hub goes in. Helps the new hub fit flush, since you aren't fighting the leftover rust flakes, brake dust, and whatever else got stuck back there in 10-16 years.

[@spelunkerd]

It is so nice to see 1AAuto take KZbin to the level you have over the years. Not only are you showing straight forward repairs, you are more recently getting into diagnosis and also more difficult repairs. For example back in 2014 you showed this hub drop right out, but as you know it's not always so easy. 2020 videos are showing mechanic tricks for difficult problems and how to anticipate, avoid, and occasionally fix complications. Giving the novice a heads up about what can happen is much more responsible. Bravo!

Didn’t tell the size of the center hub nut

[@earljam76]

Excellent step by step instruction by a group of professionals! I've never replace so much as a brake pad yet with the help of 1A Auto, I was able to pull this off in a few hours. Injury free until clean-up when I stubbed my toe on the floor jack. Serves me right for working in my flip flops. Cidiot!!

[@earljam76]

Jeremy Sand By the way, if you don't have a pipe for extra leverage, GO GET ONE NOW!!

[@kewabl]

Your name is Sand, I wouldn't expect you to wear anything but flip flops. I moved from Virginia with snow on the ground to Florida. 1st thing I did was put on flip flops. 2nd thing I did was drop a 5 lb weight on my toe. 3rd thing I did was listen to my wife says I told you so.

[@mbreckwoldt9813]

Nice video and I bought my hubs from you and the rotors. If you live in the Northeast and your truck is 15 years old with 215,000 miles, the hub ain't coming off that easy. I beat mine with a 10 pound sledge and it did not budge. It is soaking in Kroil overnight. Tomorrow I will try to heat it with a torch and then pound the crap out of it again. Brine and road salt takes its toll on NE vehicles. Will update later this week.

[@1AAuto]

+M Breckwoldt Thank you for your order. Being located in the northeast as well we see our fare share of rusted vehicles too! If you would like to leave us a review on Google it would be greatly appreciated. Here is a link to our reviews section. Have a great day! goo.gl/i5JFNY

Thanks guys. Not only did your video help me change out the hub assembly on my 09 GMC Yukon but I also saved 350 bux by buying the part from you guys instead of going to the dealer. Learning experience and confidence builder when you can do repairs like this that seem daunting when you stuck on the side of the road.

[@nova396]

Excellent video! I just bought your hubs and everything you showed here was spot on. My hubs were rusted solid in there, so it took a 5 pound hammer to work it out with sweat. It will eventually start moving out if anyone has this problem. Thanks for the video! This was my second purchase from you guys. Highly recommend!

[@1AAuto]

@robbiek1999 That is correct, we demonstrate this towards the end of the video when we use a torque wrench to tighten that axle bolt down. Hope this helps you out. Have a great day!

[@ajnunya5518]

Just purchased both hub assemblies for the front on my 03 2500hd. Speed sensors were gone and bearings were going also. With the awesome price from you guys it was cheaper to get the whole hub assemblies pre built and ready to swap then to get each individual part! Awesome video!

[@shemwhitehead9517]

This will be very helpful this evening changing the hub on my wife's Yukon. Unlike other how-to videos, it shows exactly what's going on. I especially like how it fast forwards through, but still shows the more tedious processes. I will be turning to 1A Auto's KZbin channel more in future.

[@1AAuto]

+Shem Whitehead Thanks for checking us out. Shop here for high quality auto parts: 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

[@br5747]

Thanks for the excellent video. Only thing I noticed was that you put the backing plate on backwards and started tightening up the new hub. It will go on either way so make sure the offset goes back towards the vehicle to allow room for the rotor.

[@rayrokz]

Great instructional video! All the steps were right on except for one pertaining to my vehicle, a 2004 GMC Yukon XL 1500 5.3L SLE. My vehicle did not have a spindle therefore there was no hub nut. All it had was the three bolts and thats all. The hub itself had caps on both sides of it were normally a spindle would go through. Everything else is right on, thank you!

[@bossmombonnie]

1A Auto thanks for taking the time to make these videos. This was a huge help to my husband as he changed the wheel hub on my 03 yukon xl. Only thing that we made mistakes on was forgetting that you were working on passenger side as we were working on the drivers side. Then 2wd doesn't have the center bolt that holds the rotar and hub on. Turning the wheel before you lift it might help as well.

[@davidhouston8097]

Great video guys, helped me a ton!! A word of advise for those who have a lotta rust like me: Do yourself a favor grab some pb's, some heavy duty chisels, and a 10lb sledge hammer (big air chisel helps too) to get the old hub off. Took me a solid hour of pounding to get it off. Afterwords it was an easy reinstall.

[@bethelreformedchurchexeter1377]

I am also in the rust belt where salting the roads during the winter is done excessively. I have been working at getting mine off for a while. Only have a 3 pound sledge. I guess I will have to get some good chisels or maybe shell out for an air chisel and make my compressor do the work. I take it the chisels are used in the spot between the hub bearing assembly and the place it bolts on?

[@phouston6802]

David Houston it's never easy up north I feel ur pain

[@SteveEarlcelerityproject]

+1 on that. Been 4 hours with a 5 pounder now. I'm starting to panic.

[@RRVideosAndSound]

Buy an ATD 8629 Hub Removal tool for a 100 bucks--if you own a Silverado you will be using it alot--it should have been mounted with the jack...Or just use it and re-sell on ebay/craigslist...there is a big demand for these

[@mikelboyd711]

I bought and installed a set of hub bearings from a seller on Amazon.. 13 months in and they are toast. I will be buying from 1AAuto. Subscribed and love the videos.

[@1AAuto]

+Michael Thank you for the feedback!

[@alexfullmer4707]

One thing I would change is opening that bleeder valve before you push the caliper back in. There are check balls and check valves in some of these brake systems and you can ruin your brake system by pushing the fluid backwards. I see many shops do the very same thing and it really surprises me because this is one of the first things I learned in auto school. When you get to the last turn of the c-clamp, be ready to tighten that bleeder valve and then you've replaced all that worn out fluid. Then top off your brake fluid and don't add anymore till the next brake change and the level will tell you how worn out your brakes are.

[@sammythebull2240]

You guys are great. Very informative. No lollygagging just straight to the point. If I ever have a chance to order parts I don't need immediately, unlike right now I gotta switch this hub out NOW- I'll order from you! Thanks

[@1AAuto]

Thank you for watching. Please let us know how the repair comes out! 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

[@iamthecheese2737]

I've used your video twice now to change 2 wheel bearings. Great instructional video. But at the end you say to Torque the lug nuts to 100 ft lbs. The GM spec is 140 ft lbs. And I read somewhere the axle nut is 177 not 125. Nice "how to" video, but it looks like I'll be going back over a few things on my mom's truck.

[@1AAuto]

+David Riezinger Thanks for the tip! We'll pass this info along to our production team.

[@chucklee1950]

THANKS FOR THE TOOL LIST AND TORQUE SPECS I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE DOING THIS ALL DAY BUT IT ONLY TAKES ON THE AVERAGE IF YOU TAKE YOUR TIME DONT RUSH YOUR SELF JUST ABOUT 2 HRS FROM JACKED UP TO BACK DRIVING THANKS FOR THE VIDEO IT MAKES A BIG DIFF AND LOWERS THE STRESS LEVELS OF THINKING YOUR GONA BE THERE ALL DAY SO.......THANK YOU VERY MUCH KEEP THE HELP COMING

[@Brian-vz5cu]

I found it's much easier to get those 3 15mm bolts out if you push in on the CV axle, it will go in about 3 inches giving you much better access to use power tools.

[@mjdoubleu2301]

I'd say the best how to videos. I just saved a bunch of money by watching these. I replaced my hub assembly and going to do the cv axle tomorrow. Yeah it's simple, but I wouldn't have know that.

[@burnham187]

The no frills no power tools unlike this video you do the following. With the truck still on ground take off axle nut cover and loosen the 36mm axle nut with breaker bar. No need for shenanigans, etc as it will already be lose by the time you jack up the truck for easy nut removal. As soon as you take the wheel off pb blast the 3 bolt's on back of hub and also the back of hub to make for easier take off. Save your arms and some headache. Get an old rotor and put on backwards with all 6 lugs. Just hand tighten the rotor on hub.. Get a good size pipe wrench and clamp it down on the top of the rotor, making sure the wrench is nice and secure. With a good size hammer or sledge typically 4-6 is the max number of wacks needed to get even the most stubborn stuck rusted hubs off. Time and soreness saver.

[@markstorjo3432]

I realize this video is 8 years old but is the torque setting for the 3 hub bolts at 75 foot lbs. correct on a 2006 Silverado 4wd? Every where I looked, it says they should be 133 Ft Lbs., the axle nut at 177ft Lbs., caliper brackets 129 Ft. lbs. and caliper to bracket 74 Ft. lbs. . that's a big difference. which torque settings are correct? Otherwise an excellent video.

[@kbolecho]

This video was so very helpful. Changed out both Hubs, new Rotors, and Pads on. 2001 GMC Yukon SLT. 2wd. I did not have the center hub 35mm bolt that was in the video. Save a ton of labor. Thanks for the video

What about some copper antiseize grease on the area where the bearing meet the knucke? Good idea? Bad idea?

+1A Auto Parts Well I found the hub assembly on your site for $65 and I paid $119 at auto zone so I will checking your site before any more purchases. Thanks for the link.

[@TimfromAlabama]

Only thing mine was different with was I was able to take the caliper bracket off with the caliper still on it on my GMC Sierra Z71. Saved me a few minutes there. Glad you told the torque amounts because I had to call 3 parts shops to get someone who knew those torque specs when I did mine. My 2004 GMC eats wheel bearings up every 4 years or so but that's because it goes into mudholes all the time and water isn't your friend there..lol. Anyway, thanks for the info you give. With a little information like this I think most anyone can do them with the right tools and safety equipment.

[@fern9234]

Thanks for the video as always. The only thing that didn't work for me was using the 15mm wrench for bolts in the back. They were so tight that the wrench destroyed them in the attempt to remove them. For anyone with the same problem I got it done with a 3/8" ratchet with a cheater bar for the bottom two and with the spindle nut off and the axle pushed in just slightly I put a few long extensions to a 1/2¨ adapter and used an impact wrench from the bottom of the truck and it finally released. Not sure why it was so tight. Hope this helps someone

[@1AAuto]

+Fern Thanks for the tip!

[@DanielKWilson]

Dad said to never take short cuts, but I would leave the caliper together too!!!!!!! Good point

[@fortner2239]

[@donaldhollums3278]

A great tutorial for replacing the front hub/bearing assembly on a four wheel drive Suburban. However, the title of the film says, "How to Replace Wheel Bearing & Hub 99-06 Chevy Silverado 1500". So, I mashed on the "play" icon to watch it. The front hub/bearing assembly on my "00, 2wd Silverado 1500 is sealed. There isn't an axle nut securing the assembly to a spindle. I coached my 16 year old son through the process of changing the assembly which he did 90% of the work. There are only the two bolts for the caliper bracket, two bolts for the caliper, and three bolts that secure the assembly. Then the assembly slides right out. All the bolts are the same size as referenced in the film.

[@1AAuto]

+Donald Hollums Thanks for the tip! We'll pass this info along to our production team.

[@alexthedude]

Great video, gave me the confidence to do this job. I ran into two problems though. 1 - I bought a 35mm impact socket and it did not fit the axle bolt, I measured the socket with my digital caliper and it had a 35.18mm ID. So I rented an impact socket set from a local auto parts store and the 35mm socket in that rented set fit the axle bolt, and the 36mm socket in that set fit the axle bolt very loosely. Not sure what gives here. 2 - Could not fit a socket on two of the three bearing and hub assembly bolts to be able to torque them with my torque wrench. One has a ball joint bolt sticking down in the back of it preventing a socket from fitting and the other had interference from the axle. So how do you go about torquing these two 15mm bolts?

[@kcycle1308]

Did you ever figure that one out?

[@robbiek1999]

Good video and thanks for putting on. In reading multiple websites and videos, I thought you shouldn't use an impact wrench on locking hub nut but to torque that to spec.

[@jasonmaruska6947]

If the hub is stuck on. Use an air chisel to get it off. It worked awesome! Chisel between hub and the spindle.

[@geraldmettner3884]

why waste time taking the caliper apart? just do the 2 bolts and pull the pads and all off as one piece

[@therev6689]

[@SconsinJoe]

[@1AAuto]

+SconsinJoe Thank you! Good luck and let us know how the repair went 1aauto.com 866-403-3393

[@SconsinJoe]

Was a pain in the ass. Hub was rusted to knuckle really bad. After an hour of pounding with a sledge, finally got old one off and new one on. Turns out the passenger side is the one I need to replace. Dont rely on all the "when turning left or right noise gets worse" advice. Best method to determine which bearing needs replacement is to jack up each side and rock the wheels. I'll be ordering another one tomorrow

[@TheBearGrylz]

What size was the center hub nut sir? Thank you. Good vid

[@thomasharlos6872]

Just did the front left hub assembly and followed these directions on my 2002 yukon xl. Except for having a hell of a time with one hub bolt and getting the hub free( had to tap with a hammer for at least 20 minutes ! ) it all worked fine. Only one comment though....would it be a good idea to put a thin film of a sealer or gasket sealer on both sides of the splash shield to ensure no dirt gets in where the sorface might have excessive pitting or corrosion? Just wondering. Thanks again for some of the best diy videos out there.

[@1AAuto]

Randy Musselwhite Glad we could be of help. Thanks for watching

[@bdb490]

Great video, but why not just remove the caliper bracket with the caliper attach and save a step?

[@donbosco8055]

I thought that too, but I thought it made taking out the other bolts easier and it's always good to grease the caliper bolts, mine were dry.

[@thekirby53]

Because you can't. It will catch on the back side on the rotor. I just tried because I didn't have the star heads to remove the two bolts for the calipers to come off the bracket. Had to go buy a set.

[@awautoworks4426]

It helps to have less weight on the brake line if it were to fall. Removing the caliper bracket makes it a lot lighter

[@chromey42]

Hey guys great video. But I like to mention the dust cover never made it back on the new hub

[@sbond1963]

Wow that dude has some serious strength and hands of steel to get the rear hub bolts off with a regular 15mm wrench. .

Looks to me like this truck has four wheel drive. Mine is two wheel rear drive. Which video is for the two wheel drive?

[@iammee1111]

There is no difference other than you have no cv shaft to deal with.

[@mikepopham7191]

The hub assembly comes with the inner axle shaft bearing and the outter wheel hub bearings installed but would still need greased obviously?

[@batemanterry]

Great video! Thanks for taking the time to make it and inform folks on how to try and do it themselves! Take care and GOD bless!

[@ThePs3al]

Great video. Was there a reason the backing plate was turned around and installed backward?

[@FiTFRecords]

Yes

[@racyfreeman317]

What video were u watching?

[@Rottidog68]

​@@racyfreeman317 Perhaps he was talking about 4:32 the backing plate is hanging downwards when it was removed & from 4:50 - 5:04 you can see it's turned around. I see brand new looking studs on the 'old' hub assy so maybe they've had some of it apart so it's easier on camera. But things were not put back together they way they came apart in the video anyway. But people get the gist of it.

[@robjames6676]

When he removed the hub bolts it spun around as he was whacking it with the hammer it was correct before that

[@richardlowe8062]

Have never seen one come out that easy. Thanks for the videos.

[@ghostdog662]

You can usually get the caliper off with the brake pads still on. It's a tight removal/fit but it can be done.

Yea I seen that 👍

[@stevegraham8285]

Great video, thanks very much. This job took me 2 hours to complete in my driveway. Your instructions and tool list were perfect. My only comment would be - whatever hammer you have, you'll need a bigger one to remove the old hub! Took a lot of hits before it finally came off. Thanks!

[@1AAuto]

+Steve Graham Congratulations on the successful repair. We're glad the video helped you out. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393

[@jwhitaker4908]

ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT VIDEO....RIGHT TO THE POINT....EVEN GIVES YOU LIST OF TOOLS NECESSARY TO COMPLETE JOB AND TORQUE VALUES FOR VARIOUS BOLTS....COULDN'T BE BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GUNNEY JIM GOING TO MAKE BURBAN WELL AGAIN...THANK YOU VERY MUCH....

[@xFatalPhenomx]

Excellent video. Gonna tackle my front hub on my Silverado Classic today. Your site had the best price for the assembly, with what tools are needed and this video. Best videos, and best vehicle parts site. 1 question....when using the C-clamp, shouldn't I open my brake fluid resivour?

[@1AAuto]

+Macón Escuzi Thank you for the feedback!

[@oralwayne7273]

I have a 2007 Chevy Tahoe the front diff stop turning because of broken internal gears can I remove the diff and axle shaft and drive it until I get a new diff ? Would the wheel bearings come apart ?

[@bigdog6158]

Probably a stupid question but is it different when replacing bearing on 4wd?

[@dennisedwards6206]

What size is that axle nut? I'm set to do my 2003 Silverado 1500 4x4 this weekend. I just received a pair of new hubs from 1-Eh.

[@jamesmcnamara7484]

same question, trying to ensure I have everything before I take it apart.

[@jpitocco5747]

35mm

[@kindredspiritzz66]

yeah I wondered that myself but in the beginning of the video he lists all the tools needed

[@XxClemsonTigersXx]

How accurate are these torque numbers? Im seeing where the hub nut is suppose to be like 175 as opposed to 125?

[@npb3871]

My 07 gmc sierra 1500 4x4 makes clicking noise on the drivers side when turning in 4x4 would it be a bad hub assembly? Also can it damage the front diff if I continue to use 4x4 with a bad hub

[@buzzml8123]

This shows the front hub procedure for 4WD. In the introduction, the photo is for a 2WD Suburban.

[@michaelrivera9268]

So on the hub nut on the 02 video for axle change the torque you said was 165 ft lbs and this 02 you said 125 ft lbs so I have a 2000 suburban… what should my torque be 4x4 1500

[@williamknox6821]

Hi, great video of this job. I will complete this job on my 2001 Surburban, which by the way has 356,000 miles on it and still going Chevy Strong! I have a question about the procedure of the hub / bearing replacement, does it need to be torqued?

[@gordonray1756]

I am having a very hard time getting 1 bolt to. Loosen any suggestions

[@synclavier123]

The night before you do this job, spray the caliper bolts and caliper bracket bolts with penetrating oil (PB Blaster or Kroil) and then tap with a hammer, then spray again. When it comes time to get the bolts off the next day, it will be MUCH easier.

[@joshdarrough405]

Very helpful. I was able to do the job with ease and rent and buy the exact tools. Thanks for the video!

[@dylanjuhnke6843]

Hahaha wish my wheel bearing came off like that

[@TomMack530]

Yeah right, they loosened everything bolts before doing this video ! Take me 10 minutes to set up my Jack and stand

[@davidfleury2859]

Thank you for the video i did it myself wheel bearing and upper control arm i subscribe. please keep making the professional videos

[@1AAuto]

+David Fleury Thank you! We are happy we were able to help!

[@go2sully]

Hey guys, thanks for the videos. What is the major difference in the Hubs. I noticed you have 6 available for a 2003 Silverado 2500 HD. Obviously I would rather spend the $80 versus the $400 part. Also, should you change both sides at once or just the one that has issues? Thanks

[@christopherhendricks4369]

if you loosen the hub nut prior to removing brakes it helps. Use a big breaker bar. have an assistant turn on the truck and hold down the brake pedal. power brakes hold easier.

[@1AAuto]

+dori bakery Thank you for watching. It definitely makes it easier, and a breaker bar will give you the leverage. We appreciate the tip to help other viewers! 1aauto.com

[@canyon.county208]

The hub nut is supposed to be torqued to 125 ft lbs or 177? I've heard multiple others say 177?

[@foreverheisglorified480]

The torque specs for the lug nuts and axle nuts is wrong in the video. The video says 100 ft/lbs for the lugs and 125 ft/lbs for the axle but it’s supposed to be 140 ft/lb for the lug nuts and 177 ft/lb for the axle nut.

[@dumbcrap9426]

Are these torque specs all legit I’m looking to do this on my 2000 GMC sierra

[@KathyW]

Awesome video, THANK YOU! Is there a secret to putting the dust cover back on?

[@derekskater1996]

I just bought a 06 Silverado. I believe my hub is the source of a popping noise that I hear at times. It it humming and the abs light is going crazy. Are these signs of a bad wheel hub? Thanks

[@1AAuto]

This could be the cause, however, we are unable to diagnose online. We recommend having your vehicle professionally diagnosed so that you can purchase the correct parts for your repair. +Derek Feehan

[@derekskater1996]

@@1AAuto just as I suspected. Got it looked over good and was confirmed that the wheel bearing was worn. Great video

[@roadstar499]

are right hubs the same part as left hub??? what i mean is right and left parts are interchangable? thanks

[@4everGrowin]

This was very HELPFUL!!!!
