How to replace the front wheel bearing, hub, and seal on a 4WD on Buick Rainier?

At the start of the repair process you need to take off the tire and wheel center cap along with the drive axle nut on a 4wd vehicle. After lifting the car use mechanical jacks to take off the tire wheel set along with the brake rotor. To shield wheel drive shaft threads place a brass drift against the outer shaft end then tap it with a hammer but do not try to extract the shaft now. Take out the two bolts that secure the ABS Sensor and remove the sensor from the Wheel Hub and bearing assembly. Take off the Wheel Hub and bearing from the Steering Knuckle by unscrewing bolts and separate the splash shield from the Steering Knuckle. After placing the splash shield on the Steering Knuckle you need to position its threaded holes directly. Fit the Wheel Hub and bearing to the Steering Knuckle using the threaded holes as alignment marks and fasten it with mounting bolts at 105 nm torque (77 ft. Lbs.). Fit the ABS Sensor with the mounting bolt and secure it at the specified torque value of 18 nm (13 ft. Lbs.). Put the brake rotor back on alongside the tire and wheel before lowering the vehicle down. Finish the process by installing the drive axle nut then screwing it to 140 nm (103 ft. Lbs.) before putting on the tire and wheel center cap.

Wheel Bearing is an important part that emphasizes on the Buick Rainier, a mid-size luxury SUV with production from 2004 to 2007. Being quite a rigid component, the Wheel Bearing ensures that the wheels can rotate without much hindrance both in terms of speed and when in use. For this reason, the Wheel Bearing comes in three forms of hub and bearing assembly, one of which is the unit assembly with ABS sensor integration, to cater with the wide range of Rainier models for compatibility and functionality. Due to the relative movement between the wheel and the bearing, worn wheel bearings present a loud sound and usually vibrate, posing a safety threat; therefore, periodic checks are recommendable. Light yet durable, the Wheel Bearing also consists of replaceable tapered roller bearings that must be greased for optimal efficiency when powering the car's wheels; hence, their function in enhancing a smooth drive. Novelties like the advanced Wheel Bearing materials and engineering differentiate one automobile from the next, thus greatly enhancing the car's endurance. Being one of the Buick Rainier performance and safety features, the Wheel Bearing contributes not only to the convenient driving experience but also adds to the confident and reliable vehicle's legend attracting only those people who value quality and comfort.
