2002 Cadillac Seville Wheel Bearing Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the front wheel bearing and hub on 2002 Cadillac Seville?

  A: Before you can start fixing the front Wheel Bearing and hub you must lift up the vehicle and put it on supports. Before taking out the wheel drive shaft nut insert a drift punch or screwdriver into the brake caliper to prevent the rotor from rotating during wheel removal. Take out the brake rotor and disconnect its speed sensor plug before unclipping it from inside the dust shield. Detach the brake wear indicator sensor at this point if your vehicle includes it on the dust shield. Keep both Wheel Bearing and hub parts together by first removing all bolts that hold the dust shield's assembly. To divide the Wheel Bearing and hub assembly from the drive axle use Wheel Hub remover (J28733-B). Securely remove the Wheel Bearing, hub, and dust shield. Remove all rust and unwanted objects from the knuckle mounting surface, inside the bore, and chamber to guarantee the right fit for the bearing and knuckle parts. Fit the Wheel Bearing and hub assembly with dust shield onto the drive axle while applying light grease to the Steering Knuckle bore and handling the parts only through the wheel hubs to avoid damaging the abs sensor wire. Thread on a new axle nut before fitting the Wheel Bearing and hub. Install the Wheel Bearing and hub retaining bolt afterward, fastening it to 130 nm (95 ft. Lbs.). When finished, connect the front Wheel Speed Sensor electrical cable back to its housing and fasten it to the dust shield. Also for brake wear indicator systems, attach the sensor wire connection point to its proper position. Insert a drift punch tool between the caliper and rotor to avoid turning the rotor during wheel drive shaft nut tightening to 160 nm (118 ft. Lbs.). Fasten the wheel and tire onto the vehicle and let it return to its normal position.
