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.
