2004 Cadillac Seville Wheel Bearing Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the front wheel bearing and hub on 2004 Cadillac Seville?

  A: Start the hub bearing replacement by lifting the vehicle above the ground. Put a drift punch through the brake components to keep the rotor locked when removing the wheel nut and tire. First disconnect the power from the front Wheel Speed Sensor and unfasten it from the dust shield before taking out the brake rotor. Before continuing disassembly of the brake assembly take off both monitoring sensors if your vehicle includes them. Take out the dust shield and hub retaining bolts along with Wheel Bearing. Keep track that only the complete Wheel Bearing and hub replacement is necessary. Separate the Wheel Bearing and hub from the drive axle by using the wheel hub remover (J28733-B). Afterwards remove the Wheel Bearing, hub, and dust shield as a single piece. You should wash away all rust and unwanted particles from the knuckle mounting surface, bore, and chamber to make room for a good fit between the bearing and knuckle. Mount the Wheel Bearing and hub assembly over the drive axle with dust shield while spreading a light amount of grease on the Steering Knuckle bore and keep the abs sensor wire free from contact. Apply new axle nut and push hub with bearing onto drive axle. Place Wheel Bearing and hub bolt in place and tighten it to 130 nm (95 ft. Lbs.). Replace the speed sensor electric connections to the dust shield for both simple and indicator sensors. Climb the brake rotor for fitting before you tighten the wheel drive shaft nut to 145 nm (107 ft. Lbs.) while a drift punch or a screwdriver controls the rotor from moving. Lower the vehicle over the wheel and position the tire before completing installation.
