Thanks for the great vid! One problem I have since I only have floor jack like you, is torquing 2 of the 3 hub nuts. I just can't get the right leverage on the two where you have to effectively pull the wrench up, because of the wrench extension needed to get around the CV joint. , the wrench slips off after about 45 ft lbs. Buick regal 2003 is supposed to be 98 ft lbs. Any sage advice ? I hope so thanks !!
Thanks for posting, your vid was very helpful
Thanks for the video. I'm gonna tackle this on mine this weekend. Hey what are those gloves you are wearing? Look almost form fitting like latex but heavier duty. Thanks
If you're not changing the brakes, you don't need to take the brake caliper off.
Just ordered two front wheel bearings for my 02 Regal GS. This video was a huge help. Thank you
Yeah dude! I did this mission in an hour and a half. Watching you do it first was definitely the key! Not only did the grinding noise go away, but the antilock brakes idiot light is no longer illuminated, and now the car doesn't weave left and right like I'm intoxicated!
if you can get somebody else to do it youre probably better off. lmao thats hilarious
Thanks for the great video! After watching you do it, I will breeze through this! Parts ought to arrive today.
2005 Buick lacrosse, 34 mm wheel axle nut and 118 lbs for torque.
Subscribed. Between this video and the one on the lower control arm on this car, I've learned a lot of useful info. I drive an 03 regal GS, and my brother drives an 02 century. We don't need these repairs right now, but it's good to know exactly how to do them on these cars for the future. Thanks!
I .am very impressed with your thorough and knowlegble presentation. I knew the minute you started talking that your information would be reliable. You also have a great personality. A gitter done attitude. Many thanks.
how do I know you know if you got a bad hub bearing?
Great video!! Thanks!
You are really a great mechanic and this is a very good video too..Thank you very much for your instructions….two thumbs up and I already suscribed………
Thank you very much for a great instructional video!
shouldn't be using impact to put hub nut on ruins hub assembly… and when doing brake pads always good practice to change rotor with them…
spray it with weasel piss?,I find that funny
Love your videos! I'll be doing this on my 2003 buick century tomorrow. Thanks for your help!
you should include torque specs as well socket sizes in this video
Is this basically the same for a 2005 Buick Century? This will be my first time replacing a wheel hub but after watching your video I feel pretty confident.
Which Milwakee is this? I want.
Where do you live in pa? I love in olean NY, just north of Bradford pa
