I'm no mechanic but using a coat hanger or bungees works to keep the brake caliper out of the way and undamaged.
Thanks for stopping by and checking us out. Have a great day!
Always appreciated the videos you guys make.
Wow!!
The hub assemblies of those Jeeps are held together with many more bolts than most 1/2 ton trucks from that time period!!
The brake caliper should be tied up with a wire to prevent it from dropping and accidentally stretching the rubber brake line. Also some rotors have access holes where you can simply screw in small bolts to remove the rotor with ease, check for those before pulling out the hammer. I liked the video thank you for uploading.
@alan933 Usually when you have a wheel bearing go bad, they'll start to make a howilng noise, or sometimes even a grinding noise.
Great Video very informative...Thanks Loads!!!
We currently do not have a video that shows you how to remove the rear hub assembly on this vehicle. We'll keep this in mind if we end up making this repair in the future.
@TheHHProject You can use that. If your careful you can use a hammer too as we show in the video.
@jessebanke We use those quite a bit while doing brake jobs. Thank you for visiting our auto repair channel on UA-cam.
@tubdino The 2000 Acura TL has a totally different different setup than the Jeep Grand Cherokee. The hub your Honda Acura is pressed into the knuckle.
awesome video, you didn't take it apart, reassemble and then do it again while you were filming. You showed the hard parts, but fast forwarded. I really liked it and thank you
+Aaron b Thank you for the great reply. We love to empower our customers by showing you how-to perform your own auto repairs while installing our high quality auto parts. Have a great day! 1aauto.com
This video really helped me get prepared to do the job on my 2002 Grand Cherokee. But I ended up using some different sockets:
. I bought a 1 7/16 socket for the axle nut but it seemed larger than I wanted, for standing on the breaker bar. I happened to have a 36 mm one from another project and it fit perfectly. So I would suggest that, especially if purchasing one.
. To remove the brake caliper I needed a 7 mm hex driver (allen wrench). It took me quite a while to find the right one among my various sets. Maybe my caliper had been changed with one with different fasteners than original(?)
. For the caliper bracket I needed an 18 mm socket. 3/4 or 11/16 did not fit for me. I had to go out a borrow one of those though I have multiple tool sets.
. Probably not necessary but I also removed the rotation sensor (antilock brakes). That took an 8 mm socket.
Thanks again for a great video.
+Tom Ferrio Thanks for watching. We carry the replacement wheel hubs bearing assemblies shown in this video on our website. Here's a link to them if any of our viewers needs to replace theirs. www.1aauto.com/1A/wheel-bearing-hub-front/Jeep/GrandCherokee/1ASHS00015?UA-cam&CTA%20Comment&ATony
Zip ties or Twist ties can be a good way to hold your caliper up out of the way while making repairs, cheap and easy
Would a hub puller work instead of banging on the hun? I dont have a left and would be laying close to it! I would prefer to not have to beat on it in that situation! Lol
@1aauto There are articles about it on Honda-Tech com
Is the front hub assembly the same on the two-wheel drive as it is on the four-wheel drive?
Can you do a video on loos tie rods. I installed brand new MOOG tie rod ends, center link and drag link 3 months ago and I have play in tire from left to right rocking it back and forth. Looks like the new tie rod end on knuckle driver side is moving about 3-6mm. I probably over greased them and didn't torque them to 35Ft-Lbs
@tubdino No it doesn't I corrected my post for you.
Older years are mostly the same back to at least 92 except the bolts are different sizes and the brake calipers are slightly different.
A box-end wrench will substitute for the 12 point socket and is harder to break.
Do the axle nut first even if you are using impact tools, if it's badly rusted you may need more torque than the impact tools can provide.
If you've not got a car lift and are working near the ground you won't have space for the cheater bar on the wrench, but you can put a jack under it and/or make your own impact wrench by driving the wrench around with a hammer. It's painfully slow though, and don't do it with a ratchet if you can avoid it, you're likely to break it.
try using grass string or bailing wire to tie your brake caliper to the spring or the antisway bar so you dont have to wrestle with it while doing this.
Hey i have had 1999 and 2004, put over 250k miles on both and never had an alignment problem until now. How the heck do these develop alignment problems? All my tie rod ends are good and solid. The top of the wheel doesn't move inward and outward right? My ball joints are real solid too. Control arm bushings maybe? 🤔
I wasn't able to feel any play in the tire, but once I took the hub out of the knuckle I was able to wiggle the front and back of the hub quite a bit. If you take the tire and brakes off you can probably try to wiggle it by hand once the, rotor,pads and caliper are out of your way.

Do you have a front wheel hub assembly video for 99-04 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.7L?
I most likely need to change the assembly so I don't have to press fit bearings.
I have the ABS model 4WD VIN-N
@tubdino They would more than likely need to be pressed out.
@SycoJester666 Not necessarily, any one should do.
You should be able to apply most of the basic steps to your application. You would more than likely need different size tools. We carry both the Timken and economy hubs for your 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee on our website 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
easy and clear step by step thanks
@SycoJester666 As long as it's torqued down correctly you shoul be ok.
Are you in the rust belt it took me 3 hours to get the hub off my truck
Everyone! Free up the axle before you hammer off the hub. Yes, hang the caliper with a hook and lastly DO NOT USE 12 POINT SOCKETS
Thanks for the video, it helped. The 2 caliper bracket bolts and the 3 hub bolts on my 04 Grand Cherokee are in bad shape, you don’t happen to stock those do you?
At 9:24, if the caliper was temporarily wired in place with some wire to the coil spring then the caliper would not fall off and the hammering would be easier at that point.
This is a great tip! You can do this also. 1aauto.com
I wish you had indicated the symptoms of this problem before hand. I am trying to figure out if this is what is wrong with mine.
How do you determine which brand calipers your 2002 jeep Grand Cherokee uses i.e Akebono? I am considering drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads and new bearings/hubs and upper/ tie rods, ball joints, etc. (187,000 miles).
well done i was able to save some money on labor.
Thanks the job went really smooth.
The video was a great reference.
mine is a 2006, i can see thesuspension is different...but is the replacing any different? thanks so much
Are you sure the Acura has 3 bolts? I looked everywhere... I'm going to get a hub puller today.
Sorry about making your video a help thread about Acura
will an1 7/16 impact socket fit in the wheel hub to get the nut out?
Im looking for a video of how to replace the rear hub assembly for my 2000 JGC limited but cant seem to find any video. Is this process the same as the rear, also do you carry the rear hub assembly for this jeep. I went on your site and you only have the front hub assembly. Any help will be appreciated. thank you.
Also with the 1-7/16" nut, could I use my impact to put it back on? Starting it with a 110 ft/lb torque limiting extension, and finishing with a 65 ft/lb?
gc does not have a rear hub assembly, your prob refering to the axle bearings and the axle itself. youll have to take off the caliper, cradle, axle retaining plates and the axle should slide right out. if its stuck use a brass or rubber mallet to loosen, or a large pry bar. if u need more insight you can pm me. i just did my rear seals on my 02 gc.
Okay thanks. Would a hub puller get it out?
Y’all are he best. Thank u
+Al Morgan Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
With that 1-7/16" socket....does that need to be a deep wall?
Nice Pontiac safari wagon !
What would you charge someone for both hubs to be changed out?
I am having a very intermittent squealing coming from what sounds most like the passenger front of my '03 JGC. could the hub be the cause? I have read threads and many say that it's the hub and bearing, but this noise is so intermittent it goes weeks without making the noise them it will start up again. Any help on this will help.
We've found that on these 99-04 Grands, they'll typically start making a high pitched whine or squeal at around 30 MPH when the hub bearings go bad. You may also notice a great deal of wear on the outer edge of the front tires. If yours are bad, we carry new wheel hub bearings on our website with a 2 year warranty and free shipping in the lower 48 states. Here's a link to them on our website. www.1aauto.com/1A/front-wheel-bearings-and-hubs/Jeep/GrandCherokee/-/-/2003?VideoReply&VideoReply&ATony
This noise is a high pitched whine but it's at around all speeds greater than 15 MPH when i rotated tires i noticed the outside of the tire is wore as well. Is this the problem? Should they be replaced in pairs?
Ctowns Thank you for the email. The hubs may be the problem buy you might want to get a second opinion. Often times they are replaced as a pair it is not necessary

love your video Do you have other videos on the jeep grand Cherokee
+Robert Jones Thanks for watching! Yes we certainly do, here is a link to them: www.1aauto.com/search/videos?year=2004&model=442&videoSearchType=ymm
@1aauto, I am in the middle of replacing my from bearing on my 2000 acura TL. I cannot for the life of me get the damn hub off. The axel is free but no matter how hard I bang and pound, I can't get the hub free. I dont see any hub bolts like you show in this video but it sure as hell feels like the thing is bolted on. I am unable to get any good whacks at it because the rotor shield if in the way and I can't get the shield off either. Would a hub puller from my local parts rental store help?
What is the part that is exposed once the hub bearing is removed called? The rod thingy, is it the CV? When I changed my Ford's CV it was different so not sure if that's what that part is, thanks!

Thank you, I was able to do this easier.
Thank you for the upload
What might you think is wrong if you have a banging or grinding noise when turning
All diffs are properly serviced
You may want to check on the front suspension components.
check this out i had i grinding squealing noise when i was turning too...towards the end before i got it serviced the noise started appearing while not turning also ...just driving straight...it turned out my brand new diff (you could call "recently serviced") lost the C-clip inside the diff which holds the rear axel into the rear diff meaning it became disconnected...this means that the axel was moving back and forth as I would turn the car...i guess the c-clip didnt snap off completely but what ever was going on there was "play" in a back and forth motion which was causing enough tilt during a turn where my caliper/brake pad (not sure which one) was scraping my rotor whenever i would turn... replaced the c-clip no noise since and they replaced all parts that were collateral damage...check to see if there is rotor damage to see if you have a lose axel...very rare but check it out kinda curious
Andrew Dohrmann to see if there is a loose axel and you the noise is the rotor getting damaged*
Are you sure about that 1-7/16 socket. That is an odd size
my jeep is all over the road and its hard to control at high speed (highway or 40 do you think its the bearings?
You may want to check all of the front suspension components for wear. Including the front track bar. We do carry new track bars, control arms and replacement suspension components on our website for Jeeps. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
I’m no mechanic. So I need some help. My jeep I just bought, an 01 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It makes a humming noise that gets louder the faster you go. The previous owner says it’s the rear passenger side shock that needs to be replaced.. but shocks don’t make that noise I don’t believe. We drove it 3 hours home after we purchased it. I’m just worried that it could be the rear differential. Is there any other things that would tell me which it is? It’s not terribly loud but it is very noticeable and can irritate you lol
+Two 4three You may also want to see if it might be a rear wheel bearing that is worn. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com
please use metric on your brake caliper and bracket , also tie up the brake caliper never let it hang from brake line.
+BrianLeeUSA73 Thanks for the tip! We'll pass this info along to our production team.
always put the nut back on flush or just under the lead thread before striking it this way.
Thanks for checking us out! +Richard Larkins

Using a puller would’ve been perfect as well as zip ties for the brakes.
Wd40 is not a penetrating oil, and I've never seen anyone have to beat a rotor to remove it
+Grant Rasmussen Thanks for the feedback!
@@1AAuto? Okay
thank you...big time :)
The hub bolts are 1/2” NOT 13mm
+ripsawful Thanks for the feedback!
Dude, no caliper hanger? 1 7/16? What you're looking for is a 36mm 12 point 1/2. It's all metric my guy. No heavy deadblow to pound the caliper loose? "A sledgehammer if all else fails" I could go on and on. What the hell are you doing?
Hey mines not coming I've been hitting it with a hammer... I took out all screws and the nut, the wheel hub won't come off haha
You could try some penetrating oil around the hub where it meets the knuckle. If you have a 2-3LB sledge hammer that will help to break it free too.
1A Auto Parts well I got the driver side off but... The passenger side wheel hub is like.. melted together with the brake shield.. I don't know how..
