Hat’s off to you sir. Excellent camera/video work. You clearly recognized the need for quality DIYs for C5s and you way overfilled that need. Saved me about $350 per assembly. by not having to bend over at we all know where

@stevediduck9963 4 года назад

Great job Chris. You always make your procedures look so simple. Guess it's all patience. Good for you. Steve

Thank you Chris, your video really guided me through this job on my own '99. Yours was the only video about this task that advised disconnecting the upper control arm from the car so that I could lower the entire knuckle away from the shock absorber. It was the only way I could fit my ball joint separator in place to pop the lower ball joint. On that topic, after borrowing a few of these ball joint separators from Autozone, only to find none was big enough, I ended up borrowing their basic pitman arm separator which worked perfectly.

Nice video. I changed my rear wheel hub last month, it's pretty easy too. Greetings from France.

@tonygiaconi9611 4 года назад

The rear axle nut is a torque to yield nut and cannot be re-used. I didnt see if you mentioned that or not, but you must use new axle nuts as they can only he tightened one time

@miker6651 Год назад

Why take the whole spindle assembly off? I just did mine and after the brake assembly was removed I just loosened the lower ball joint. Was able to remove the three torx bolts and replace the hub in a few minutes. Probably saved me an hour of work.

Did you lossen the bottom bolts from the shock's or no?

@darrylsjodin7184 2 года назад

Question, why can’t the 3 Torx bolts that secure the bearing assembly to the hub be removed and the bearing assembly be removed from the hub without disconnecting the ball joint and tie rod ends? I left the upper ball joint and the tie rod attached. Removed the sway bar bolt and pushed down the lower ball joint bolt until I could access the lower bearing torx bolt and replaced the front bearing.

@laurencec2353 2 года назад

That’s what I’m thinking. I’ll be attempting to do mine like that tomorrow.

Great video and thanks for listing the torque specs. But how do you pop the ball joint back on? The video doesn't show that.

@Jayjo76 Год назад

Very great and informative video. So, the rear axle just slides out entirely? I'm stuck here.

Harbor Freight

So how many miles did you have on car when you did the hub replacement?

Question what joint separator size is the one used in the video is 3/4 inch from Harbor Freight?

Chris: Why did you remove the upper control arm from the frame instead of removing the upper ball joint from the spindle?

@Glide1992 4 года назад

Another very informative video. Thanks a lot. Have you changed the axle seals on another video?

Not yet, but coming soon.

@Glide1992 4 года назад

@@mycorvettelife I asked because you did everything you needed to do but pry out the old ones and put in the new ones. Actually, more than needed to change the seals. Just got my seals from Rock Auto last week. Looking forward to your video on the job.

@v8inmk2 4 года назад

Great video Chris! I’m about to replace my rear wheels bearings since I can hear the whining noise at highway speed. Just wondering if yours making same noise before you replace them? If so, did the noise gone after you replace them? Thanks!

@mycorvettelife 4 года назад

No, I just replaced them because I already had everything apart and they have 120k miles. Preventative maintenance. I still haven’t driven it yet.

@v8inmk2 4 года назад

My Corvette Life got you, mine only has 76k miles and starting make those noise, which really drive me nuts. I will try to replace it by myself sometime later, so for tools, I don’t have any impact guns, do you think it is still doable? I already have most of then manual tools like break bar and torque wrench, from what I see in your video, the only other special tool I need to buy is a ball joint separator, is that right? Thanks Chris.

@mycorvettelife 4 года назад

If you don’t have an air compressor think about getting a cordless electric impact.

@v8inmk2 4 года назад

My Corvette Life good point! Maybe it’s time to invest a good impact.
