2001 Cadillac DeVille Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the rear wheel bearing and wheel hub (FE7) on 2001 Cadillac DeVille?

  A: Begin the replacement of rear wheel bearing and hub by elevating and supporting the vehicle before removing the tire and wheel and brake rotor. Start by disconnecting the ABS Sensor wire connector and Parking Brake Cable from the lower Control Arm before removing the ABS Sensor. Begin by removing the wheel bearing and hub retaining bolts together with the wheel speed sensor reluctor ring. During wheel bearing replacement begin by uninstalling the wheel bearing nut along with its washer from the hub before you remove both brake shield and wheel bearing components from the hub. Place the wheel bearing onto the hub first then secure the brake shield. Screw on the wheel bearing washer together with the retaining nut then secure it with 200 nm torque (147 ft. Lbs. Tension). First clean both the lower Control Arm face and bore before installing the wheel bearing and hub together using retaining bolts that should be tightened to 118 nm (87 ft. Lbs.). The installation requires both a new abs wheel speed sensor reluctor ring and new ABS Sensor. To complete the repair process you should first reinstall the brake rotor then attach the ABS Sensor wire and return the wheel along with tire before lowering the vehicle down.
