Q: How to replace the rear wheel bearing/hub on Buick LeSabre?
A: The first step to replace a rear Wheel Bearing/hub involves elevating and supporting the vehicle. First remove the tire together with the wheel and then take out the brake rotor. Start your procedure by removing the Wheel Bearing/hub lower after unscrewing its retaining bolts and disconnecting the electrical connector. Cleaning the Control Arm face and bore requires you to first detach the brake shield from the lower Control Arm. Start by installing the brake shield followed by the Wheel Bearing/hub onto the Control Arm while strictly following the provided fastener specifications. Install the retaining bolts and tighten them to 70 nm (52 ft. Lbs.)reattach the wheel/hub electrical connector after installing the retaining bolts. Lower the vehicle after reinstalling the brake rotor together with the tire and wheel.
Q: How to replace the front wheel bearing and hub on Buick LaCrosse?
A: Before you start replacing the front Wheel Bearing and hub you must raise the vehicle. Take out the tire and wheel from the vehicle before disconnecting the Wheel Speed Sensor electric wires if present and detaching its bracket. Put on the drift or flat-bladed tool at the caliper and rotor before you can take off their drive shaft nut. Fasten the j 42129 Wheel Hub remover (J 42129) onto the Wheel Bearing/hub section by threading in three wheel nuts. Push the drive shaft from the Wheel Bearing using j 42129 tool and remove all Wheel Bearing bolts before taking the j 42129 off. Take off the Wheel Hub assembly without damaging its seals and boot. Also withdraw the Wheel Bearing/hub and splash shield while keeping note of shield placement. Put the new Wheel Bearing/hub on the vehicle in its original splash shield position and use new fasteners according to safety standards. Replace Wheel Bearing/hub bolts with new parts and tighten them to 130 n.m (96 lb ft). Place the brake rotor and caliper back in place after installing their components and tighten the drive shaft nut gradually to 160 n.m (118 lb ft) using a drift or flat-bladed tool to keep the rotor stationary. Properly position the connector clip on the bracket part while attaching the Wheel Speed Sensor electrical connector when needed before setting the sensor cable properly into its electrical connection points. When done install the tire and wheel then lower the car.
Q: How to Replace a Rear Wheel Bearing and Wheel Hub Assembly on Buick Regal?
A: You need to lift and stabilize the vehicle before proceeding. The wheel bearing and hub in the rear wheel come as one non-repairable unit so you need to replace both when these parts become damaged. Start by taking off the tires and wheels after that disconnect the brake rotor. Pull off the abs electrical connector from Wheel Speed Sensor and take out the park brake cable from its actuator when needed. Lift the car before disconnecting the rear bearing/hub bolts and sliding out the wheel bearing/hub and park brake assembly from the knuckle. Last, remove the park brake actuator from the wheel bearing/hub. To assemble the system place the park brake actuator onto the rear wheel bearing then position the wheel bearing with parked brake set up on the knuckle before tightening wheel bearing-to-knuckle bolts at 75 n.m torque. Connect the park brake cable back to the actuator followed by connecting the abs electrical connector to the Wheel Speed Sensor when available. Place the brake rotor back into position and refit all wheels and tires before lowering the vehicle.
