This video was right on spot, everything I ran into was exactly like he said right down to the hub being frozen in. I tried the impact chisel but no go, soaked it good with liquid wrench and used a flat chisel and a 5 lb. hammer before it finally moved. Like he said, if you can buy the shield, do it! It took way too long to make it usable. It took me 2.5 hrs and I had all the tools. Thanks guys.
Absolutely one of the best videos I have watched. Real situation, not a studio version. Thanks for showing the details of the clips, and all the tricks you used!
Between you guys, the Tappet bros, and this old house folks I gotta a lot of respect for you new englander's Never thought I would enjoy visiting Boston and New England until I went there, great folks up in the North East. Gonna be doing my 2002 tahoe wheel bearing here the next couple days, hopefully a little less stubborn than the one you guys dealt with here. Thanks for the great tutorial, and greetings from Montana.
Brings back painful memories of beating the hubs off my 2002. They failed within a year of each other. The 2nd one failed while I was driving with no warning signs. Felt like the wheel was going to fall off but I made it home.
Great video from a real mechanic on a truck that’s seen real conditions and wear. The Stoicism of New Englanders is the inspiration getting me through my same job. I have an insight: the dust shield is the entire problem. It’s like welding filler rod in there???
If no one has, it might be a good thing to mention using a six point wrench on the three bolts holding the bearing to the spindle as they can strip, like mine were, especially in New England or any other region that has lots of snow and subsequent salt.
Great video. I have to do this tomorrow and I'm glad I was able to see the issues that can occur with this job. Hopefully my wheel hub bearing comes off easy🤞🏽.
You can jack the truck up and grab the top of the tire and bottom of the tire to see if there is play in the wheel bearing. I recommend doing them in pairs because if on side is bad then the other side usually goes bad not long after. Hope this helps you out.
Knock out to 2 opposite side lug studs.. Run bolts through toward spindle. Put nuts on the bolts. Tighten against flat spots of the spindle. It will drive the hub off even and easy.
I'm gonna try this on mine using a ratcheting wrench if she gives me any trouble a couple of whacks with the persuader won't solve, great suggestion thanks.
Do you think it’s a good idea using the power steering to press out the hub by pinning a piece of wood (or similar) between a loosened nut from the wheel hub and the frame of the vehicle?
Hey my tahoe hub doenst move like that but when im driving its makes a noise i already check everything and its looks fine so i thinking the hub is bad and tips to.make sure its the hub n not something else
Hubs are a common wear item that is common to have to replace, especially if the truck has over 100,000 miles on it. If they are making noise you may want to replace them. Hope this helps you out.
Yeah, jack it up. Put hands at 12 and 6 and shake tire, then 3 and 9 and shake again. Hopefully no wobbling. Go on you tube because I dont remember what the significance is and check around. I think 3 and 9 are ball joints. Looks like 12 and 6 is wheel bearings. Hopefully you dont have both! Good luck!
My son is doing this right now. The bearing split in half from beating on it with a sledge hammer, the back of the bearing assembly is still in there. How many hours did it take from start to finish? I saw 2 hours. He has the cv joint removed, can he hit it from the back to knock it out?
yes this is a four wheel drive Chevy Tahoe that our wheel hub bearing replacement video was filmed on. Hope this helps you to replace the wheel hub assembly on your truck.
I'm about to do my 05 tahoe tomorrow same side in a hillbilly trailer park in -2° F weather with 17 inches of snow i'm about to have some fun YEE HAW lol
Someone please explain to me why someone with a shop, lift and high power air wrenches would need to watch a video like this. What about the vast majority of people with no lift, no air wrenches, on a gravel drive way? Just sayin'
@@HomeownerRepair But what about the average guy with no lift, no air wrenches, sitting on his butt in his gravel driveway? Plus, you skipped a trick or two to make this easier. If you're SO sensitive to feedback, maybe you should find another hobby.
@@scottmurray4689I don't have a lift or air tools... I watched this video and gained everything I need to do this same process on jack stands. The only difference is I'm laying on my back while doing it and slipping a 1" pipe over my ratchet because I'm not spending $100 on a breaker bar lol. His response wasn't sensitive either... You're the one being whiny and sensitive. I saw you leave the exact same comment on the TRQ tutorial for this process. Chill out and go fix your truck already lol

Yes, We have been noticing complete garbage lately on wheel hub quality...It's fusturating.

Thanks for watching our auto repair video that shows you how to replace wheel hub bearing assembly on a Chevy Tahoe.
Awesome . . . I get the freeezies just looking at all that rust. Love the accents!
Thanks for watching. Don't forget to sub the channel to receive all of our latest uploads.
I need to swap out my 01 Tahoe hubs. This was VERY helpful, even though more than expected. Mine is low mileage and cleaner
Glad our video helped you out. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the added tip!
I also have to do that job soon. I'm praying right now, that my wheel hub will not be as hard to get off as this one. Holy moly...
These hubs were a pain to get off.
Tha axle is holding it on..
I've done three of these. They're alway a pain. You just have to keep working at itm
Great job And a lot of patience. You got this.💯💯💯💯😂😂❤❤🎉🎉
Thanks for watching
Great video. I have to do this tomorrow and I'm glad I was able to see the issues that can occur with this job. Hopefully my wheel hub bearing comes off easy🤞🏽.

Awesome video! Great job!👍
Thank you! 👍
Are u post to bet the half shaft seal back. If not I have put a half shaft or a cv on it and went everything is put on it rums
Thanks for watching.
I’m doing one now and was thinking about pulling the cv axle out so I can beat it from the backside
Thanks for watching
Might not be a bad idea.
I have to replace mine this weekend what are the torque pounds used when you put on the different bolts, the three 15 mm and hub nut.
Sorry just noticed this question.
Great video. Whats the easiest way to diagnose which wheel is bad if you're not sure?
You can jack the truck up and grab the top of the tire and bottom of the tire to see if there is play in the wheel bearing. I recommend doing them in pairs because if on side is bad then the other side usually goes bad not long after. Hope this helps you out.
Great job!! I have a 2005 chevy avalanche 1500 LS. Do I have the same hub assembly on my truck as the one in this video?
It may be the same. Check out Rockauto.com
Knock out to 2 opposite side lug studs..
Run bolts through toward spindle.
Put nuts on the bolts.
Tighten against flat spots of the spindle.
It will drive the hub off even and easy.
thanks for the added tip. Hope this helped you out.

This Tahoe was a bear. I would rather use the method shown in this video.
Is it okay to use grease there? Where u put the never sez? Or they both kinda the same,I've seen videos where they didn't put anything there
You should follow the same procedure as show in the video.
@@HomeownerRepair not very helpful I've heard both.. Grease or never sez or are they both pretty much the same? Simple question
If your referring to the opening in the knuckle where the hub goes, you can use a little grease on it if you do not have never seize.

Ey man I got a 2001 Tahoe with a bad sway at freeway when hitting a bump all of suspension has been replaced any recommendations to fix it
Are the shocks new, also check the sway bar links to see it they need to be replaced. Hope this helps you out.
Not sure if you fixed it but if you've done the shocks did you do the coil springs in thee rear? Fixed my problem
My son is doing this right now. The bearing split in half from beating on it with a sledge hammer, the back of the bearing assembly is still in there. How many hours did it take from start to finish? I saw 2 hours. He has the cv joint removed, can he hit it from the back to knock it out?
It took a while.
I have a humming noise when I am driving what causes that
It MIGHT be a bad wheel bearing.
Is this the same process for a 4x4
Yes
Yes.
I already see myself stuck outside for 8 hours 😩😩
Thanks for watching. Hope this helps you out
@@HomeownerRepair I just hope mines not that difficult tomorrow to do
@@HighperformanceV8 how was it I'm about to do this shit this weekend haha
Is this a 4wheel drive
yes this is a four wheel drive Chevy Tahoe that our wheel hub bearing replacement video was filmed on. Hope this helps you to replace the wheel hub assembly on your truck.
How much does a shop charge in 2021 though?
A lot of shops are 100-125.00/ hour now so it adds up
My hub is pretty rusted on how do i get it off
This video will show you how. It was a real pain on this truck.
I'm about to do my 05 tahoe tomorrow same side in a hillbilly trailer park in -2° F weather with 17 inches of snow i'm about to have some fun YEE HAW lol
eesssh, how did you make out?
That 600 doesn’t sound to bad after watching this.
lol..Yeah this one was a bear to get off.
glad i dont live in the saltbelt states anymore...hated working on brake and suspension parts!!!
It's horrible around here. The sodium chloride really kills our vehicles.
Someone please explain to me why someone with a shop, lift and high power air wrenches would need to watch a video like this. What about the vast majority of people with no lift, no air wrenches, on a gravel drive way? Just sayin'
We have had other mechanics watch our videos to see what they are getting into. Schools have watched our videos as well to train students.
