• Q: How to replace the Steering Knuckle, Wheel Bearing, Wheel Hub, and Wheel Seal on 2010 Chevrolet Aveo?

  A: Vehicle maintenance starts with vehicle elevation and support before the wheel hub and bearing knuckle and seal replacement process. Separate the wheel hub, bearing, knuckle and brake shield unit from the vehicle as one assembly piece. After securing the knuckle assembly inside a vise you must remove its brake shield. The j-37105-c front hub service set requires the application of j-23444-a lubricant to the j-36661-2 (CH-46560-04) rod. Use the j-36661-2 (CH-46560-04) rod to pass through the 217801 (CH-46560-06) bearing along with the j-37105-1 (CH-46560-01) bridge and the hub and the dt-47540 (DW340-120-01) adapter. First insert the j-21474-4 (CH-46560-05) nut to the j-36661-2 (CH-46560-04) rod before removing the wheel hub from the wheel bearing and special tools from the knuckle. A hydraulic press operating with j 22912-b split plate can be used to extract the bearing race from the hub before removing the retaining ring from the knuckle when necessary. Double up the j-36661-2 (CH-46560-04) rod through 217801 (CH-46560-06) bearing and j-37105-1 (CH-46560-01) bridge before using the rod to measure the wheel bearing with dt-47541 (DW340-120-02) adapter. Apply the j-21474-4 (CH-46560-05) nut to the j-36661-2 (CH-46560-04) rod before taking the wheel bearing out from the knuckle. The old bearing goes to disposal while preparing the knuckle bore for cleaning. To assemble this component start by placing the steering knuckle into a vise and thread the j-36661-2 (CH-46560-04) rod through the 217801 (CH-46560-06) bearing followed by the dt-47543 (DW-340-120-04) adapter and the new wheel bearing and finally the dt-47542 (DW340-120-03) adapter. After fitting the j-21474-4 (CH-46560-05) nut onto the j-36661-2 (CH-46560-04) rod attach the wheel bearing to the knuckle before removing the special tools to install a retaining ring. Insert the j-36661-2 (CH-46560-04) rod through the hub assembly in this order: dt-47541 (DW340-120-02) adapter, hub, dt-47540 (DW340-120-01) adapter, and 217801 (CH-46560-06) bearing. Attach the hub to the wheel bearing after installing the j-36661-2 (CH-46560-04) rod nut. When finished remove all special tools from the knuckle. Test the hub's smooth rotation after which reassemble all components including wheel hub bearing knuckle brake shield as one piece and lower the vehicle.
