Need info on replacing bearing, type of puller or press for removing hub and bearing. Thanks Skip

 

just replaced the right rear bearing on mine.

The bearing comes with the hub as one part. The bearing needs to be pressed into the hub with a hydraulic press.

Getting the old hub out is a snap. Just remove the large nut at the end of the drive shaft and pull on the hub as you tab on the end of the drive shaft with a hammer. Should pop righjt out.

I have the part numbers handy if you need them.

 

if its an 03 isnt it still under warranty?

 

Thanks for info, I've got the new bearing already. Just waiting
before start changing. Thanks again for reply Skip

 

Too many miles for warranty 135,000.

 

thats a whole lotta miles for an 03....you must do some serious traveling....lol

 

did the bearing totally disintegrate (like mine did) or did you hear it grinding before it let go.

Also may I ask waht other problems (if any) you have had on your vehicle? (curious so I know what to expect as I begin to accumulate mileage?)

 

Belongs to one superintendents on job. He travels between
different job locations. He lives in eastern side of N.C. has
been running between there and several sites in Ms. Western
part Tn. western Ky. and Ms. I travel between them but not as
often as he does. Lot of windsheild time...lol

 

Bearing has a little slack in it. Gonna change it soon as he gets
back to Memphis where I'm at now. Supposed to be here Mon.
if it last... otherwise a dealership will get to have all the fun...
Trans. has replaced around 70,000 or so. Had some abs problems
but didn't get to check that problem before trans went out so
dealership got to fix it when they had it.

 

dont let it get too bad before replacing it or you are going to end up replacing the knuckle as well (as I had to do)!!
