No Problem, anytime.

having a lil trouble with the 3 13mm bolts to the hub bearing. Any advice on removing the top bolt? My CV is in the way

Ummmm if you are using a ratchet, get a long extension. or u can use a flat wrench, your choice, just be careful and don't let the wrenches slip.

Oh and or turn the steering wheel that can add a little extra access to the area.

hey... how hard is it to change the rear wheel bearing... i think my drivers side one is going out on me. it doesnt seem to look like the front one...

Rear wheels don't have bearings, do they ?

colonel6632 · 08-30-2009, 11:02 AM

not sure... lol. but i replaced my front passenger one... and about a day later all my lights came on again. i was pissed lol. but it definatly sounds like it's coming from behind me... loud hum on the highway

All wheels on Vehicles, have wheel bearings, only difference is the rear one's are a little easier to do, and Colonel if you did the front bearing and the lights are still comin on, do the rears.

Now if the lights still come on check the connectors of the wheel bearings and make sure the pins didn't get pushed back, also maybe a little bit of dielectric grease to keep moisture out.

P.S The sound may be comin from the passenger or driver side, front or rear of the vehicle but the reverberations throughout the frame of the vehicle can trick your hearing, so it's better to do both at a time and see if that fixes it. Start with both front bearings and then both rears.

well i might just get a tech 2 and look at the code... i only fixed the passenger side. those things are far to expensive for me to replace a bunch at the same time.

BEFORE you do any more replacing, trace the wires from the speed (abs) sensors back to the abs module (behind the drivers fender well lining) to see if there is a break. my light was still on after i did my front hub that was acting up, still had the same codes when i plugged in the tech 2, and it ended up just being a wire. much cheaper fix.

colonel6632 · 08-31-2009, 12:06 AM

alright... i'll check it. tomorrow possibly. thanks man. but there is the humming noise. it could be many things including my flat spotted rear tires

and that was the better tire

is this whats needed to do if i have a bad speed sensor that is tripping my anti lock and trac off light when i move? the scan tool i used said right front speed sensor short and then later said right front speed sensor speed =0.. the anti lock and trac off lights come on almost regulary now when i drive.... but not until i mve the car... so is the whole bearing/hub assembly needed?

Yup this is what's needed to do, but first check the wires and connectors, there could be a break in the wire, or the connector is dirty, you never know. If that's not the case than yes, you have to replace the whole wheel bearing\hub assembly.

ok this all started along time ago when i ran through a huge puddle and the light came on immediately.. in the code history search on the computer i hooked to it it said speed sensor short.. im guessing from that puddle... how do you check the wires where do the lead to/comefrom?

Raziel · 09-24-2009, 11:44 AM

Take the tire off and on the left side of the hub assembly in the back you will see a 2 pin connector. Pull the plug and see if the pins inside are dirty, corroded, or rusty. If not, follow the wire, and please be warned there is a lot of wire. But if the problem came from running through a puddle just check the connector and then go from there.

Always start with the cheapest and easiest method.

any way to get these pics back on here?

Raziel · 01-21-2010, 05:23 PM

I suppose there is is if I upload them again maybe, I don't know what happened to the originals maybe a forum mod could give some insight to this problem.

well is it in the haynes/chilton/whatever manual? im sure it is. i'd like to see the pics on here, because from what i remember, they were pretty detailed and easy to follow, if not i can just look at the manual. im sure they arent THAT hard to change.
