Hey, I have to replace my bearings over the weekend. What is the torque value for the bearing nuts?
GM spec is 159ft/lbs. But if it says different on the new hub, go with that.
Or just push the ever loving hell out of your breaker bar.
Bearing nuts? Are you talking about the bolts to hold the bearing in the aluminum casting?
The axle nut is 180 ft. lbs. if you're talking about that. It's the important one since too much torque puts undue side load on the roller bearing.
180.
I changed those suckers 3 times on my '03. 2 faulty sets and one pot hole. FML
I'm having problems with my ABS activating and TCS light sometimes coming on at slow speeds, especially with the wheels turned. Had a coupon for a free service at the local former Pontiac dealer, and they told me the left front hub was worn or damaged, causing the speed sensor to short out and trigger the ABS.
Questions: 1) Dealer didn't cite a part number; are we talking about Timken 513179? 2) The car has 123,000 miles, and these have never been replaced. Is it worth doing both, or should I just replace the bad side?
Thanks,
Eric
I bought timken made in usa. I replaced both. Car has 176000 miles but I haven't done hback.
