wheel bearings
Hey guys I have a 93 ssei...... My driver side wheel bearing is out... Is that something i can do easly or should I take it to a shop? I have done wheel bearing before i just don't know it the bearings are pressed in or not. Thanks

First off, wrong section, should be in the 92-99 section. The wheel bearing is not * serviceable part. It is a sealed unit. I don't think it is that hard to change though. I have had 3 changed on my 03 Malibu and it was pretty simple.

Would that be drivers side front?
Should run about $130ish at autozone for a new one..
and I moved this thread to the right section..

True Car Nut
Heres what I submitted for tech-info:
1. Break wheel lugs loose and axle nut (34mm) if you have aftermarket rims
2. Jack up the car using the engine cradle or unibody below the front door
3. Remove wheel
4. Remove caliper using a 3/8 allen wrench
5. Have something tall enough to rest the caliper on so it isn’t hanging by the brake line
6. Remove rotor
7. Remove the axle nut completely
8. Unplug the ABS sensor
9. Put car in Neutral
10. Rotate the hub to gain access to 3 T55 bolts
11. Remove each bolt through the larger hole in the hub
12. Gently tap the axle and back of hub to break free from steering knuckle
13. Remove old hub assembly
14. Remove the metal guard that the ABS sensor attaches to and put it on the new hub assembly the same way
15. Take new hub assembly, feed the ABS sensor plug through the steering knuckle and put axle though the new unit
16. Bolt new hub assembly to the knuckle by tightening each T55 bolt down a little at a time
17. Once the T55 bolts are tightened completely, put the car in Park
18. Tighten the axle nut down to recommended torque given with new unit
19. Plug ABS sensor back in
20. Install rotor
21. Push brake caliper piston back using a c-clamp or brake tool
22. Install caliper using 3/8 allen wrench
23. Mount wheel
24. Lower car and tighten lugs in star pattern
