Thread: How to install a Hub Assembly

Hey guys and girls i am wondering if anyone has any good information to follow on installing a hub assembly on a 2007 Grand Prix GT. I currently have 47000 on my car. I purchased a used hub assembly with 33000 on it. I could use some help or information on installing it. Thanks..

whats the point get new, you pay for what you get and less miles the better thats not long before you have to change yet again and at 47000 why do it i just rolled over 100000

It shouldnt be to difficult of a job, if you know what your doing.

Assuming this is a front hub,

-Remove the front wheel

-Remove Brake caliper, and hang with clothes hangar, not to put pressure on the line

-Remove rotor

-Remove (36mm?) nut holding the axle on

-Remove axle from Hub Assembly

-Remove 3 bolts holding hub assembly onto the spindle

-Remove Hub

Install in reverse directions.

I am going to try it within the week. It sounds really easy actually. I did get a used hub assembly it was only $65.00. A new one that i could find is around $187.00. I just thought that even a new one could go out at 47,000. I have had a car have 170,000 miles and never replace one. My buddy has 240,000 on his and he never replaced one. So i was thinking even tho its used i could take a chance on this one lasting forever also. Hope its a good idea.
