Thread: Rear Hub Assembly - How hard can it be?

Hi fellow W-body hoonigans!

I have a 2004 GP GT2 with 152K on the clock, and I started to hear the dreaded roar of a soon to be finished hub assembly. I went to my local, actually honest mechanic to give it a look see, and it turns out to be the left rear hub assembly. Problem is, I'm a broke college student, not ready to drop $200 on parts and labor. I am though perfectly capable of doing some work myself to save some cash. I replaced my shocks and struts last summer, so I'm not afraid to get greasy haha.

But, my question, how hard is it to replace one of these? I have an impact and torque wrench, among many other tools.
And, what's a good replacement hub? I've seen Moog and Timken, but I wanted YOUR opinion! (Hence this post)

Feel free to hit me with stories, suggestions and comments!
Thank you all, you're awesome!

SKF would be my choice with MOOG in 2nd and Timkins way back in 3rd.

But it's just taking off the tire, 2 bolts holding the caliper bracket remove rear rotor, remove bolts holding on the old hub, then remove hub which might take a little persuasion and repeat in reverse, it might take 30 minutes your first time if you don't have air tools.

I replaced my front hub and it was very simple. If you replaced your struts I reccommend doing it on your own
