- On this episode of 3Day Weekend, we are going to replace the wheel bearing in this 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It started making a pretty steady "whirling" or "grinding" noise, and that typically means a wheel bearing. This one was getting so bad, it could be felt through the steering wheel.
Overall, this is not a complicated job. There are only a few bolts and a nut to remove. The problem is that they can all be pretty stubborn to remove, and the hubs like to freeze into the hub carrier, especially if you live in the rust belt. I had to call in for reinforcements to get a special tool which allowed me to get the leverage I needed to get the old hub off.
You'll see me refer to this special tool. It is called a "Hub Removal Tool", and is available on Amazon. The exact one that I used can be found at the following link, but if you look around, you can find some that are slightly cheaper than this one.

The Jeep used in today's video is a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4x4 with the 3.6L V6 engine, but it is exactly the same procedure for Jeeps equipped with the 5.7L V8 Hemi. It is also the exact same procedure for the 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 model years. That is a lot of model years! Believe it or not, the same procedure for the 3rd generation Jeep GC as well, which includes 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010 model years.
