2008 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4: Wheel Bearing Replacement 

Here it is 2024 and your video is still helping people. I'm working on my dad's 2008 Silverado which needs a front wheel hub/bearing. Thanks from Wisconsin where we have rust too. OY!

Very well done. I try to do as much of the work on my vehicles as I can, so I end up watching a lot of RU-vid tutorials. I have to say your videos rank near the top. Your clear and thorough demonstration and commentary is much appreciated - a true standout!

Awesome instruction , could not have ask for a better tutorial. Thank you very much .

Finally someone on here that is very informative!! Thank you so much for the details.

Nice, has to be one of the best front wheel bearing change outs I have seen on RU-vid. Should be very helpful to those who have never done it before. 🛠️👍

Thank you so much. You help save me over 850 bucks by putting this video up. 2 hours and got my truck repaired at a time we didn't need to spend 996.00 which was the quote. Kudos for a job well done sir!

Thank you for this very helpful video. I just did this job on my Suburban, and might not have completed it without your clear demonstration.

Thank you! I just changed the front left on my 2009 1500 Silverado and will do the other side tomorrow. It pays to turn off the radio once in a while and just listen, that's when I heard a slight grinding noise. I'm at 91K on the truck and it's the first time they been changed. Thanks for the video, I watched it throughout the process. Very Helpful.

Great video ! Just had the same job done by a dealership... and cost me a bundle ! Wish I Knew that I could have done it! Who ever said ya can't teach an old dog ... ...... When the left wheel bearing goes,I'll do the next one Thank You !!!!!

I have a 2wd Sierra. Your video was very helpful. It helped me confirm what turned out to be the problem and clearly showed the repair. The only difference between 2wd and 4wd was the hub nut from the CV, other than that, easy enough fix with your help. Thanks!

I have a 2011 4 wheel Silverado. This is the exact problem with mine. I can do this myself and save some money. Thanks man.

What a great VID! I wish I should DIY it before my 2009 Avalanche Left hub bearing failed last Christmas . I had no choose went to the dealership due to heavy snow condition, took them 4 hours to replace with a new hub. ($1000 CAD job+parts). After I found out they use impact gun to unbolt the bolts and make a hole on my CV boot now the grease spinned everywhere on my front wheel! I injected back lots of grease through the small hole and sealed it using silicon RTV sealant. Hopefully it will work. I just done replaceing the right wheel hub bearing myself, thant for the VID again! Subscribed!

Doing both sides on my truck. This video saved me a lot of money! Thank you!

Really good job showing correct ways to replace front wheel bearing. The video saved me a bunch of money !!!!

Excellent video. Appreciate your time in sharing these instructions. Awesome!

I really appreciate you. I'm gonna go dobit the rite way because of u. You also relieved some anxiety. Thank u

Your video is very thorough and clear. I appreciate you. I’m going to try this project this week.

Excellent video every step was shown and explained perfectly. I am not complaining because everything was done so well, but you do say "i will go ahead" unnecessarily, so many times.

Thanks, very well paced: I could follow along and work alongside. You are very clear, and patient. Your video saved me a lot of money. I replaced the rotor while I was at it. Thanks for the tip on replacing both, but I will wait until it starts making noise.

Excellent video, great camera angles.

East Coast here. To get the hub out I used a torch, a 36” pry bar, hammer, PB blaster penetrant and time. About 40mins

Thanks after watching this video I believe I can pull this off you did a great job of laying it out step by step.

Thanks for video I have a 2008 4wd Tahoe that the drivers side hub is bad, this will help tremendously and save a lot of money.

Good video ,excellent instructor , thanks

Great explanation and fine job, thank you.

Thanks for the video I'm gonna start fixing my truck !

Great video! Thank you

Thanks for the great video! Very helpful!

thanks for the torque value it's appreciate

Very thorough. I hope mine come apart as easy as that one did. NH salt rust is worst than welding parts together.

so much for asking help on this,forum. 3 days and no response to my question. I ended p replacing g both wheel hub and will try tomorrow. By the way despite what ypu they say on RU-vid, the axle nut is a 35mm.not 36 mm and using 36m will damage the nut.

Damn so thankful for this video

Excellent !! Great DIY video. Merry Christmas.

Thank you, sir. Nice video. My '07 Tahoe sounds a lot better after I replaced my front hubs :)

Thanks u was very helpful

Good video man. Thanks for all the help. 👍🏼

Great video! Parts are coming in today as I plan to do this myself on my 08' Vortec Max 1500. Thanks to your video, I believe I can do this! :)

That little rotor screw is only there for assembly line purposes. Only struggle with those one time

Awesome video man! Thank you!

Great work, thank you

nice video very helpful . Thank you for posting.

Thank you for videoing this.

Hello Akjeeper I have 2008 GMC Sierra SLE. I hear noise from front drier side.Humming noise sounds like snowbirds at 35mph and up gets louder as speed goes up. Goes away if zi make a right turn comes back in straight and left turn. I did the shake and spin test, I don't Har noise from right front perhaps slight movement if I shake it in horizontal x axis. not noticeable much. I can see any tie rod movement. On the,left side no movement in x or y axis. When ip on the ack and turning. I hear noise like rubber . I have changed the booth about a month ago.Basically took out the axle , removed outer cv. cleaned inspected and pit back with fresh grease. It was moving freely inn all direction. I don't think it's the cv but I am not sure. If this,sound is from wheel hub, RU-vid guys say its from right hub not left. I bought two new wheel hub assembly, but want to make sure thus is the,problem before replacing. Your video was excellent. I don't hear noise anywhere close to the one you fixed. Please advise I you can today as I am planning to do the change tomorrow. not sure how I would see your reply. Thank you very much

Hope you bought a lottery ticket after taking this apart. I dont think they come apart that easily on new ones.

Can we give a shout out to this video? Nicely done. AND… how nice is it to have a cordless impact? Done in 10 seconds vs 5 minutes the poor man’s way.

Thank you for this video, you saved me like 600 bucks!

Mine was stuck,needed to use an air chisel, came out like butter,sledge hammer did not budge it.

thank you very much for your help.

That’s the problem with lending our tools lol they never return it until you say something haha

Good job 👍

Less worried about the chrome impact socket then the lack of jackstands.

Do you have a video for replacing 2008 Silverado 1500 cv axle? I will be replacing both the wheel bearing and cv axle at the same time. Excellent job on the wheel bearing replacement video!

humming noise from driverside at speeds higher than25mph and sounds like snow tire.I don't have snow tires just all season and had them rotate and balance 2 days ago. I don't see any tiered movement or ball joint movement.

Bro do You have to do alignment after this job?? And do You recomend to check something also while we have all that apart?? Tanks bro scuz My inglish

Thanks bud!

Specifically for the spindle, I hear some say not to use never seize and only use bearing grease. Can you tell me which is correct and why? I need to due this on my truck this weekend. Thanks for great detailed video!

I am in Alaska also ANCHORAGE where are you located at or do you have a shop?

My 2012 silverado just had two back to back failures and im seeing that the hub nut wants to keep coming loose. I torqued everything to spec aswell. Any idea?

Nice one so afrer any brake repair where calipers were pushed back in you pump the brake with the veichle off rite

Is that upper control arm cracked? Great video! Thanks

If it does te turn smoothly what could the problem be?

Is it possible that this problem could make my abs and traction control lights come on

How much torque? All of it

How can you tell when they're going out

Do you recommend doing both sides and breaks at the same time

Why were you calling the bearing surface of a steering knuckle

So hopefully someone can help me out! I can't get the 3 bolts off that are in the back of the assembly to save my life. i'm having a hard time fitting my tool(s) due to the lower control arm being in the way! someone please tell me what tools they are using for those bolts

Did. Anyone knows how much will cost to do this. Job. .

Did this truck have any abs codes because of the bearing?

If you don’t have an impact, just have someone step on the brakes instead of putting wheel back on.

Didn't see u pack any grease in the bearings. Are they pre packed an sealed. Great video very helpful. Thanks.

Does the SI specifies the usage of loctite? If not you just over tighten the blots due to unintentional lubrication provided by the thread locker. remember that Torque is working because there's friction no friction goodbye torque ;)

Turn rotter in and out. “Get to everything “

would this be the same process for a 4-wheel drive 2008 tahoe?

Hey man I had a question.. i have the Same truck with a 6 inch lift.. and like 3 months ago it started to shake really bad while going 60mph So I thought it was the tires So I bought new 33 inch tires for a 20x12 wheel And I have a 2 inch spacer all around as well Well anyways After the first violent shake I had I immediately took it to a mechanic and replaced new rotors / brake pads / brake calipers and outer tie rods And balance tires and aligned the truck So it almost went away Now it only shakes at 40-45mph But anything lower or higher it’s smooth And I can’t figure out what’s wrong with it The shake gets annoying since I’m always driving 40-45 mph I can feel it in my steering wheel And more to the left side of the truck to ... Any ideas 💡 thanks

I own a 2010 silverado z71 and have the same problem but I've noticed everyone buys the actual hub assembly with the bearing included instead of just buying the wheel bearing by itself. Is there a reason for this?

To easy with rust free

U didn't just replace wheel bearing u replaced whole hub kinda misleading title but still helpful

Made in mexico 🤔⁉️

ya allah plz forgive me stop watching this.

When someone loves you, the way they talk about you is different. You feel safe and comfortable.

Great video, Thanks a lot.

Thanks for a well done video!
