Front wheel bearing replacement on a 2002 Buick LeSabre with basic hand tools. Please note, this vehicle has the bearing built into the hub. Some vehicles may have a taper rolling bearing (usually older vehicles have this setup) or some vehicles may need the bearing to be pressed out of the hub. In this case, the hub & bearing is all one unit. Don't forget to wear safety glasses.

I am preparing to replace my hub assembly on my 03 MO and out of the 5000 videos I've watched yours was the easiest to understand. Yes, there are some differences because of the car you're working on vs. the one I have, but it's all relative. Not only was it easy to understand, but you really didn't require a lot of loaner tools (which I can appreciate). I have backup handy in case I need help or get stuck; but from a woman willing to get her hands dirty, I thank you sooooooo much!!!! From what I've read or seen regarding Murano hub assembly repairs, it's getting the hub off without messing up the ABS sensor. I'll update once it's done!

@maxreaper25 6 лет назад

Yeah sorry but this is bad information and honestly a pretty bad video. Most hubs aren't that easy to get off for one and if ppl are already giving you a hard time, you don't want information that isn't accurate to start you off with. He replaced hub assembly not just the bearing. Replacing just the bearing would have been a different story and a much longer video.

This wasn't really a bearing replacement. This was a hub replacement, and it was the much easier bolt on kind. Press fit bearing work is a whole different kettle of fish.

@mailpup 11 лет назад

This a nice clean, clear video. By that I mean it is well illuminated and doesn't shake and move all over the place and your narrative is clear and concise, not rambling like some other videos. One thing I noticed was that at about the 9:20 mark in the video the brake pads were reversed. That is, the outboard pad should have been put inboard and the inboard pad put outboard. Note the round caliper piston mark on the pad. I realize it probably didn't make much difference in the end.

@CarsNToys 11 лет назад

Hi Kristy. You are correct regarding your Jeep. You'll need to have the bearing removed and pressed into the hub. A local machine shop can remove the bearing if you feel like tackling the job. Cheers.

@CarsNToys 11 лет назад

Hi Rose. The Vue has a similar setup. The wheel bearing is one complete unit just as shown in the video. I highly recommend getting your hands on the factory repair manual and use that along with this video. Cheers.

You can save time and just remove the 2 caliper bracket bolts and take it all off at once and i leave my pads in.

@Myselfnyou 3 года назад

There has GOT to be a reason why everybody takes the pads off before the bracket.

@ethand5672 3 года назад

@@Myselfnyou 9/10 times you won't get it off the rotor if it's worn at all. (Has the lip on the edge) Also, I would be worried about scoring the rotor in a manner that is not consistent with the grooves that are already on there. That's my main concern and why I always remove the caliper then pads before the bracket

@CarsNToys 11 лет назад

Hi Silas. Didn't clean the hub. The bearing is built into the hub for this vehicle. If your vehicle has a bearing you can press out, cleaning the hub with brake cleaner is a good idea.

Hi Jason. Many newer vehicles have the wheel bearing built into the hub, as shown on this vehicle. However, Eric the car guy has a good video showing how to press out a wheel bearing. That may help you out. Cheers.

Glad to help, Frank. I'm not following 16 foot pressure in pounds...repair manuals list torque specs in newton meters, inch pounds, kilogram-meter and ft. lbs.

@johnlong5899 8 лет назад

You did this right by taking a torque wrench to the axle nuts. I can't stress hard enough how critical this is as it sets your preload right and without the right preload, your new wheel bearings will fail within a year. An accurate, quality torque wrench is a must.

@CarsNToys 8 лет назад

@scottspencer9003 10 лет назад

I took auto shop in high school in the early 70's before FWD cars. This is a totally different animal than what I was used too. I never had to do it before because the bearings never failed on any of my cars until now. I bought the harbor freight bearing adapter set and did it with no problems. I did have to cut the inner race off of the spindle with a dremel tool.The 150 pounds of torque on those spindle nuts was kind of strange though! Not used to that one.

@thewholls7176 4 года назад

Good video I like this set up where you have the whole one piece hub assembly where the bearing bolts on and off you don’t need any pulling tools I would say though that when you put the hat rotor back on the hub you need to make sure that’s been cleaned with a wire brush because any clumps of rust won’t allow it to bolt up flat and it may lead to a wobble and that will cause problems

@lesliesmith2586 11 лет назад

I watched your video and figured it would be a straight forward procedure. I have 2003 Buick LeSabre and live in Minnesota if that makes a difference. When I got the 3 bolts out holding the assembly in, in didn't just slide out like the video. It split into and the back half was stuck good. We made a jimmy rigged puller and tightened the axle nut and the axle pushed the back half out. Wasn't so straight forward but the video let me know what I had to do to get the assembly out.

Nice clear well made vid. Just a few points: never use a ratchet wrench as a breaker bar.(use a breaker bar ...lol) Might it have been a good idea to use copper based anti sieze compound on the surfaces where rust was and on face of piston, guides on pads. Torquing up the main bearing with wheel on floor will give incorrect tightness !

excellent video. Gave me the confidence to do this myself for the first time. I ran into one problem - the backing of the hub separated as I removed the bearing, leaving the speed sensor and inner-most bearing race still in place. Can that section be simply banged outward with a hammer and screwdriver? It seems to be made of plastic and thin metal.

@greg1629 6 лет назад

Newer cars have the bearing and hub as one piece so it's a lot easier then to remove the bearing separately as you would need a press to do so. This is an easy process anyone can do with simple tools.

@CarsNToys 11 лет назад

Your vehicle has the bearing pressed into the hub. You'll need to remove the hub from the vehicle and press the bearing out. A local machine shop can do it for you. Or, you can try to find the entire hub and replace as one unit. That will save you a lot of time.
