1999-2007 gm truck 2wd front wheel hub bearing replacement

If your looking for a bearing find it here i love timkin as a brand they make affordable higher end bearings that last. Timken SP450301 Axle Bearing and Hub Assembly

So you hearing a growl in your front end or its very loose when checking your front end out. you may have a bearing that has passed its prime and needs to be replaced . in the case of mine i let it get to far because puting it off can cause more damage. it honestly was horrible o drive the noise made passengers uneasy i as a mechanic told myself i didn't drive it enough to afford doing it right away.
Well this was needed and one side was a major pain.
tools needed
are as follows
A hammer( a big one)
3/8ths ratchet and socket set 3inch extension and 15mm shallow socket specifically
and a 18mm socket with a breaker bar is ideal
and the tools to remove your wheel , 22mm/7/8ths socket , jack and jack stand.
a t-55 torx socket for the caliper guide pin bolts
the full how to video is up now

The Silverado Vids

ok so i have a gmc sierra but the trucks are very similar and i posted awhile ago i believe in December that i would be doing videos around the gmc sierra 1500 platform and they have started and a bit more delayed then id hope but there on the way and first one up is the battery replacement and its very simple and can save you money with one of the most basic of jobs . usually a 25 dollar charge is what you pay on top of the battery already.
so here is the video for that one



To check your charging system with a simple multimeter you can find out how to do that here
 always be safe just know what your doing a well some aftermarket autostarts and remote starters will activate when exposed to a sudden charge
