If you are familiar with auto repair, it's not really a tough job, just be carefull when you put it all back together, torque it to dealer specs. And watch the sensor wire!

Well Hi All, so Far I've put in 4 wheel hub assembly bearing on one side, and I'm on my second one on the Left. Mecanic tells me I should change my rotor also since he thinks that the cause of all my Bearing failures. Aka overheating rotors tranfering the heat to the wheel hub assembly. I've had those out of Country bearing made up in China, but, they never lasted more than 9 Months. So I've put tin the SKF American brand and the waiting begins all over again. Perhaps the next one I might have to spend the money and get a Original Dealer part since Im pretty sick of the non lasting parts they sell out there.I'm thinking Gm has a real problem with their product out there, not mentioning water leaks on the floorpans, still cant firgure that one out.

Generally speaking, Timkin and Federal Mogul will work OK, One of the most overlookek parts is a new lock nut, and propper torque. If not done, it can fail right away. Torque is usually 180-210 ft lbs.
