Front Wheel Bearing Replace

[aleebee156]

OK, I need some help. I've got a front wheel bearing going out. Am I not able to punch out the races and pull the bearings and replace with new?? Do I have to replace the entire hub assembly?? I can't find the bearings and races for the front. Any help??

It's easier to buy the assembly. I found A/C Delco's from Rock Auto back in December(?) that I just put on along with Cardone :gasp: axle shafts two weeks ago. Try and get the axle seals too. I reused the old ones but the rubber lip is about 1/8th of an inch short of making contact with the axle shaft..

GMT400 4x4's = unitized bearing/hub assembly, replace assembly.

That AC Delco hub is pricey. Was gonna go with the MOOG part. Good advice on the axle seals

You think the Delco hub assemblies are expensive? Try their axle shafts! LoL.

So would you say you get shafted....

haha oh no, I opted for the "Little Jim" model by going with the Cardone's. I think the A/C Delco's were going for $350 a pop. Cardone's were maybe $99? I forgot since I ordered them all last year and was too lazy to work on the truck then.
