    Youtube the repairs if you want a hands on point of view, it's been covered many times over.

    Anything that comes up as a grand prix, regal, park ave, impala, monte carlo is the same body platform and the repair is pretty much exactly the same.

    Cliff notes, remove wheel, remove caliper, remove rotor, remove axle nut for fronts, remove 3 bolts holding bearing to knock, smack it off with a hammer, replace bearing and install in reverse order.

    Axle nut torque spec is 118ft lbs, lug nuts are 100ft lbs. I use the german spec on everything else.

    Anything with a good warranty for bearings work. SKF and MOOG bearings are great buys.

    Backs are a little more fun with the ebrake adding to the enjoyment. It's straightforward though.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    If you have ABS, be careful to not pinch the wire harness.

    Get it scanned for ABS codes, it's free at Autozone. You need to know what's throwing the light to know if just hubs is gonna fix it.
