I changed my clutch and am having a bear of a time trying to line up the transmission to the engine (the splines that is), and placing the driveshafts into it at the sametime. Any reccomendations on how to do it? Its a Mazda 6 V6 manual if that helps (very similar drivetrain setup to the Ford Fusion, Contour, Mercury Milan, and Lincoln Zephyr if that helps) Is the best way to focus on getting the driveshafts in, and then pushing the tranny against the flywheel, and then turning the wheels to turn the spline on the tranny to match up with the engine. There are a total of 3 of us, two jacks, and a jackstand. Thanks!What is the best way to line up the transmission on a FWD vehicle?
is the transmission bell parallel to the back of the block? if it is at a slight angle (easy to do), it will cause the splines to bind. Get a few long bolts that thread into the engine block and cut the heads off to make guide pins to help hold the tranny in the proper position.What is the best way to line up the transmission on a FWD vehicle?
It sounds like your doing more work then necessary. First did you have an alignment shaft for when you put the clutch on the flywheel? If not, that is probably your most major problem with alignment. If you did, then try to slowly rotate the input shaft on the trans a little at a time till everything should go together smoothly. Good luck. By the way, don't put the CV's in, as its hard enough to move the tranny without extra things binding you up.What is the best way to line up the transmission on a FWD vehicle?
the last 2 have some good advice. lose the cv joints till the trans is bolted in and use some long guide bolts to help line it up. I also use a drift ( long tapered spike you might call a punch) to line up 2 corresponding holes in the trans and engine. I assume you had an alignment tool with the new clutch. What I think your biggest problem is, is a wear pattern formed on your input shaft splines. I ran into this problem and couldnt get the trans back in to save my life. and I had a lift and a trans jack. remove the trans so you can work on it and see what you are doing. when the engine is running it is putting stress on only one side of all the splines. If you look very carefully at the tip of every spline you should see or feel a sharp corner on one edge. the splines a re triangular one edge should be rounded and one shold be sharp. go around the shaft and file or gently grind off the sharp edge on every single spline. I did that and the trans practically fell in place the first time after i cleaned up the splines.

1998 Grand Cherokee 5.2 bearing issues?
I'm looking for some feedback on this:
I just purchased a used 98 grand cherokee with 84000 miles. Everything seems to be perfect on it but I hear that noise that changes pitch the faster you go. Like a friction coming from the back.
I went to the jeep dealership and had a mechanic take a ride with me and he said it sounded liek the wheel bearings. He said it would range ebtween 500 to 1000 dollar job depended on how long this ha dbeen going on.
I got the jeep for 6700$ after taxes which was a cash price. I did the blue book value of it and its close to 10,000. It really is in good condition except by that detail.
Can I go to the place i bought it from and have them fix it? Can I even legally request that since I bought it yesterday?
Any input would be appreciated.1998 Grand Cherokee 5.2 bearing issues?
the noise sounds like a wheel bearing. the jeep might have a dana 35 rear end. if it does then it is a fairly simple operation to change it . i have a dana 35 on my 83 amc/jeep eagle and
removed the axles myself.there should be 4 bolts holding the backing plate on. to access it you will have to remove all of the brake hardware including the brake lines off the wheel
cylinder and the e-brakes. now you should see the 4 bolts.
on the backside of the plate you will find the nuts. remove them, using a dead blow mallet(rubber) gently tap on the spindle till the shaft loosens up. then gently slide it out.
remember to replace both bearing at the same time.
if you don't have a bearing press then go to your favorite shop and have the bearing removed and your new ones installed. make sure you have a repair manual to refer to.
if you have any other jeep questions go to www.bulltear .com
and ask away we are here to help.
good luck

How do I email millions of people to ask for investors for a green energy invention.?
I have a theory for a green energy invention. I need venture capitial or individual investors. I am limited because I do no't own a computer. I am using one at the local library. I am new to using a computer. I have taken 3 classes. I talked to a physics professor about my invention. I asked the professor to prove me wrong. When the professor could not prove me wrong he got angry and said,%26quot;It will never work, but if it does, you will win a Noble Prize%26quot;. I need help to obtain the patent and build a prototype. My problem is that I have no money. I am a 51 year old,unemployed,self educated,construction worker. My invention will end the world's addiction to fuel,and stop the pollution producted by energy production. Imagine cheaper power bills and a car that uses no fuel and you never have to plug it in. Just drive it till something breaks. A drive shaft,or wheel bearing,something like that. If you are interested in changing the world please contact me.How do I email millions of people to ask for investors for a green energy invention.?

How Unusual for wheel bearings to fall out of my mini van?
I was parked in a parking lot, pulled back out of the spot and heard this terrible crunching like I was driving over something metal. A man was walking toward me and said a ball bearing just fell out of my mini van ( a Chrysler Town %26amp; Country 2005).
Could not move the car forward or back a good samaritan help push it back in the spot found 3 more ball bearings ( or wheel bearings?)
Called to have it towed, will find out the damage tomorrow.
How unusual is this to happen, no noise or problems just before the bearing fell out, was driving fine. I have 31,000 miles on the car, get the oil changed every 3,000 miles. In fact was in getting oil changed at 30,000 miles, should the mechanic been able to see this problem?
I've just never heard of this happening before. I hope its covered under warranty since I haven't had it 3 years and its under 36,000 miles but I don't know for sure.
Any info on this would be welcomed.
CMHow Unusual for wheel bearings to fall out of my mini van?
Relax, you are 100% covered by the 3 year/36k warranty, it wont cost you a cent. It is very unusual for 31k, sounds like the inner cv joint went out. Take it back to the dealer and they will fix it for no charge.How Unusual for wheel bearings to fall out of my mini van?

Well sometimes with kids and a radio you may not have heard the early warning sounds. Been a mechanic for 35 years, only seen this happen three or four times, but it happens. Unless you have an exceptional warranty I don't think it will be covered. Some people that change oil don't drive the vehicle long enough to here a problem such as this one. Sorry! no good news.How Unusual for wheel bearings to fall out of my mini van?
That vehicle has unit bearings that are the sealed type. If the wheel bearing gave up that bad, you would not be able to push it . Probably the CV joint gave up. Should be covered under warranty. Did you hear any clicking noises while making a sharp, slow speed turn? That's an indicator of the CV joint going bad.

I want to do this job myself and i dont want to have to pay for a manuel to do it if anyone can help me it would be awesome please and thanksWhy cant I find any hyundai online schematics for parts order?
these are some steps to follow:
2006 %26gt; G 2.4 DOHC %26gt; Driveshaft and axle
REMOVAL
1. Remove the wheel and tire.
2. Disconnect the wheel speed sensor(A) from the knuckle.
3. Disconnect the brake hose(A) from the knuckle.
4. Remove the caliper assembly(A) and suspend it with wire.
5. Remove the split pin and driveshaft castle nut from the front hub.
6. Remove the 2 bolts(A) and disconnect the ball joint from the knuckle.
7. Using a plastic hammer, disconnect the driveshaft from the axle hub.
8. Using the special tool (09568-4A000), disconnect the tie rod end from the knuckle.
9. Loosen the upper armmounting nut but do not remove it.
10. Using the special tool (09568-4A000), disconnect the upper arm from the knuckle.
11. Remove the front axle and knuckle together.
12. Installation is the reverse of removal.
DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove the brake disc from the hub.
2. Remove the snap ring.
3. Using the special tool (09545-34100), disconnect the hub from the knuckle.
4. Using the special tools (09432-11000, 09545-34100), remove the wheel bearing inner race from the hub.
5. Using the special tools (09216-21600, 09216-22100), remove the wheel bearing outer race from the knuckle.
INSPECTION
1. Check the hub for cracks and splines for wear.
2. Check the snap ring for cracks or damage.
3. Check the knuckle inner surface for scoring and cracks.
REASSEMBLY
1. Apply a thin coat of multi-purpose grease to the knuckle and bearing contact surface.
2. Using the special tool (09216-21100), press-in the bearing to the knuckle.
? Do not press against the inner race of the wheel bearing because that can cause damage to the bearing assembly.
? Always use a new bearing assembly.
3. Install the snap ring into the groove of the knuckle.
4. Using the special tool (09545-21100), press the hub on to the knuckle.
http://hysis.hyundaicanada.com/viewer/di…
Do not press against the outer race of the wheel bearing because that can cause damage to the bearing assembly.
5. Tighten the hub to the knuckle to 200 Nm (20 kgf·m, 148 lb-ft) with the special tool (09517-21500).
6. Rotate the hub to seat the bearing.
7. Measure the wheel bearing starting torque.
Standard value
Starting torque : 1.8 Nm (0.18 kgf·m, 16 lb-ft) or less
Fix a dial gauge and measure the hub end play. Check that it is within the standard value.
Standard value
Hub end play : 0.008 mm (0.0003 in) or less
8. Remove the special tool.
9. Install the disc to the hub.
Not an easy job also considering its a pressed bearing style. You will need special tools for removal as well a 20 tone press to install new bearing in the hub. As said...not a back-yard job.

2000 chevrolet Blazer LS 4x4 4.3 Litre 135000 km ?
When I drive my Blazer straight it makes a growling or howling sound when I go on a curve to the right it quits and when I go on a curve to the left it keeps makin that noise. I put on new tires and the rear end is full of gear oil. I think its the wheel bearing but i aint sure what one and i dont want 2 spend money on that if i'm wrong and if thats what it is how do you change it and do you need a press. thanks2000 chevrolet Blazer LS 4x4 4.3 Litre 135000 km ?
Its is your left front wheel bearing and the part is going to be alot more than $35. Probably closer to $100 and a decent amount of labor. It is a full hub assembly that you would have to purchase, not just the bearing and race. You wont need a press but you may need a hub puller.2000 chevrolet Blazer LS 4x4 4.3 Litre 135000 km ?
it should be your front wheel bearing hub the one part should be about 35.00

Are Pre 98 Ford Ranger's reliable trucks?
I'd like to get a Pre 98 Ford Ranger with 5spd manual.
I can afford a 92-96 Ford Ranger.
Would be used as a daily driver as well as hauling light loads of dirt, tools, furniture and other stuff. I'm 6'3%26quot;, should fit just fine in the regular cab.
I don't need a powerful, fast truck but one that gets good mpg. No less than 19 mpg.
I not sure which engine to go with. Which one is most reliable: 2.3L, 3.0L V6, 4.0L V6?
The 2.3L has rubber timing belt and 8 spark plugs. Would be a pita to change them.
All three engines are cast iron block and head, the 3.0L and 4.0L has timing chain.
We have had one Ford in our Family a long time ago. It was a 1989 Ford Aerostar with 3.0L Vulcan V6.
Never had a problem with it, regular maintenance, tires, brakes, fluid, maybe just a wheel bearing after 8 years. Wouldn't mind a Ranger with the same 3.0L Vulcan V6 engine.
Would the 3.0L get the same or better mpg than the 4.0L V6?
I can usually find one with 120,000-150,000 miles that's been well cared for in nice shape.
How many miles are they reliable for?
I only drive 12,000+ miles per year, would keep it for 4 years.
Never owned a Ford small truck before, how do you guys like your trucks?Are Pre 98 Ford Ranger%26039;s reliable trucks?
All the 88 up Rangers have Mazda drivetrains so they are very dependable. If you want mileage, get the 2.5- 4 cylinder with the 5 speed, mine got almost 30 mpg, just sold it with 257K on it and bought a 3.0 5 speed 4WD, its not quite getting 20mpg so far. The 3.0s in the rangers are pretty rare, only 28% had 3.0s in them! The 2.5 isn't an interference engine, so ya don't have to worry about the belt breaking and taking out the engine! I am 6'1 I fit in both regular and my new extended cab, the extended cab is nice with the lil extra room the seat goes back farther!
BTW, the 2WDs are worthless in the snow!Are Pre 98 Ford Ranger%26039;s reliable trucks?

Car trouble. Sell, fix and sell, or just fix and keep.?
I owned a pt cruiser that gave out right when I pulled up to the dealership about an hour and a half away from my home, so I was kind of forced to buy a car.
I didn’t have much money so I bought a 99 Chevy cavalier with 197,000 miles on it for 2 grand.(didn’t have much of a choice really, cheapest car they had and I had no other way to get home)
The guy at the dealership said “no known problems with it, runs perfect. Didn’t need to do any repairs because everything checked up good on it. The only problem is how many miles it has. It just had an oil change so you should even be good on that too!”
So like an idiot on the spot I buy it. (It was like 6:30pm and I had class bright and early the next day)
Later I notice that the ABS light is on, didn’t think much of it since I wasn’t sure what it meant. Then the “ETS off” light…clueless still. The next day I realize that two of my blinkers are out, I decided that there wasn’t much to worry about, id just get them replaced, so I did. I also had to replace three fuses, then I realized that the sticker on my window with the company title that I purchased the vehicle from had the date of when the next oil change is due…it’s due 3,000 miles from now… or one month from now. Then the next day the emergency brake light comes on, so I take it to Tuffy to have them look at it. They tell my wheel bearing needs replaced a $164.15 part with $76.00 labor. Now things are just getting annoying. I WANTED a car that I wouldn’t have to pay a bunch to repair on. I don’t have any money left, if I knew this would happen I would have fixed the PT that I found out blew a head gasket…but that car only had 97,00 miles on it...I need a RELIABLE Vehicle… is 2 grand not enough for that? Was I ripped off? I feel like I was. Is it worth fixing? Should I sell it now before anything ells goes wrong so I can get SOME money back? if i do sell it, should i fix it up first or just be done with it now?Car trouble. Sell, fix and sell, or just fix and keep.?
The cavalier isnt that bad of a car, but with the amount of miles on it? and you are just beginning to see what has gone wrong with it. i look at it this way, if it was such a good car then why did the original owner let it go? When things go wrong, they just keep going wrong. yes you overpaid for that car, but this is how we learn through life's lessons. You have a choice to make, bring the car to a shop for an estimate of repairs then make a decision whether to fix or sell. The PT cruiser would have cost you at least $600 for a new head gasket and it would have been fixed in a day or so. You still have the lemon law right where you live and you may have the option to return the car back to the dealer. You can always claim insanity and the stress you were under for the need of a car and the dealer took advantage of you in that respect.

Unfortunately it sounds like you got scammed. You should have asked to see a car fax report on the vehicle before you bought it. There are allot of high mileage vehicles out there that are fairly decent. High mileage today is not as important a factor as it used to be. If you can verify that the veclicle has been well maintained and has had no extraordinary problems in the past you may be o.k. Of coarse any used vehicle is a gamble. If you have a lemon law where you live you may wish to take advantage of it. Personally, If it were me I'd ditch the car A.S.A.P and consider it a hard lesson learned. As far as the PT Cruiser goes -They are JUNK right from the factory and have gotten some really rotten reviews. Also- If you're tempted to buy another Chrysler product STAY AWAY from Chrysler Seabrings. They ,historically ,have some major engine oil pressure issues. Also Chrysler and Dodge have a really bad reputation for weak transmissions. NEXT TIME DON'T JUMP ON A SALE- DO SOME ONLINE RESEARCH!Car trouble. Sell, fix and sell, or just fix and keep.?
Either way you look at it you are gonna be out some money. No one will give you 2k for it and probably not much more than 1200. So weigh your options of whether its better to sink more money into the car or take a loss of probably a grand after all the repairs you have put into it and the loss in what you would actually get for the car. Here is an idea, look for a Volunteers of America center near you, take the car there and see what they will give you for the car. The VOA can have great deals on cars. I have bought 3 cars from them in the last 5 years and have been happy with all of them. The most I have ever paid was 2100 for a car. The best deal I ever got there was a 1997 Ford Explorer Eddy Baur Edition for 1700!! In excellent shape to. Being a student may help you in the purchase price of a vehicle. It did for the Explorer. I bought it for my daughter to get to and from school so they lowered the price. Good luck.where did my folder walk Can you sleep with just a duvet cover
I didn’t have much money so I bought a 99 Chevy cavalier with 197,000 miles on it for 2 grand.(didn’t have much of a choice really, cheapest car they had and I had no other way to get home)
The guy at the dealership said “no known problems with it, runs perfect. Didn’t need to do any repairs because everything checked up good on it. The only problem is how many miles it has. It just had an oil change so you should even be good on that too!”
So like an idiot on the spot I buy it. (It was like 6:30pm and I had class bright and early the next day)
Later I notice that the ABS light is on, didn’t think much of it since I wasn’t sure what it meant. Then the “ETS off” light…clueless still. The next day I realize that two of my blinkers are out, I decided that there wasn’t much to worry about, id just get them replaced, so I did. I also had to replace three fuses, then I realized that the sticker on my window with the company title that I purchased the vehicle from had the date of when the next oil change is due…it’s due 3,000 miles from now… or one month from now. Then the next day the emergency brake light comes on, so I take it to Tuffy to have them look at it. They tell my wheel bearing needs replaced a $164.15 part with $76.00 labor. Now things are just getting annoying. I WANTED a car that I wouldn’t have to pay a bunch to repair on. I don’t have any money left, if I knew this would happen I would have fixed the PT that I found out blew a head gasket…but that car only had 97,00 miles on it...I need a RELIABLE Vehicle… is 2 grand not enough for that? Was I ripped off? I feel like I was. Is it worth fixing? Should I sell it now before anything ells goes wrong so I can get SOME money back? if i do sell it, should i fix it up first or just be done with it now?Car trouble. Sell, fix and sell, or just fix and keep.?
The cavalier isnt that bad of a car, but with the amount of miles on it? and you are just beginning to see what has gone wrong with it. i look at it this way, if it was such a good car then why did the original owner let it go? When things go wrong, they just keep going wrong. yes you overpaid for that car, but this is how we learn through life's lessons. You have a choice to make, bring the car to a shop for an estimate of repairs then make a decision whether to fix or sell. The PT cruiser would have cost you at least $600 for a new head gasket and it would have been fixed in a day or so. You still have the lemon law right where you live and you may have the option to return the car back to the dealer.

Teddy bear hamster cage and wheel problem?
So, i got a really good metal wheel for my hamster, but it was slightly too big to fit in the cage. I can't refund since it was a present, but i don't want to buy another wheel since the metal one is really good. So is there someway that i can make it smaller by maybe changing it's frame, or can you tell me a way to make a homemade wheel? I need to make the wheel smaller somehow.
This is something like what the wheel looks like:
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41
The wheel works really well and my hamster likes it a lot, but it just won't fit! I can still close the cage though with the wheel in it, but my hamster can't move it.
This is how my cage looks like, but without the tubes, and all the things inside. My cage is also shorter. The width is probably the same.

Please help! I'm going to be moving soon, and the subsitute cage i use for my hamster (which is a recycling bin) is too troublesome to move.Teddy bear hamster cage and wheel problem?
Well, you can't really make a homemade wheel or change the framing of the wheel, but you can buy a new one. I know you said you don't want to buy a new one, but it is only $3 for a metal wheel...
Hope this helps!Teddy bear hamster cage and wheel problem?
getting a metal wheel is bad because your hamsters feet can get hurt and may have to be amputtated you can get the silent spinner but is costs 15 dollars you may use that as an option

How do you remove the spindle from the knuckle?
My Dad is changing the bearings on the front passenger side of my Nissan Sentra Classic 1992. (front wheel drive) He have the tool for the bearing. Except we can't get to them. He's gotten to the point where he can see the bearings on one side (the side the faces towards the motor). However, we can't figure out how to remove the spindle from the knuckle (the outside facing part). That's the part that hooks up to the wheel with 4 bolts sticking out. Thank you.How do you remove the spindle from the knuckle?
There's no such thing as a %26quot;spindle%26quot; on the front end of FWD cars. The stub shaft of the CV shaft serves that purpose. Kind of. And since you've already removed the CV....

How to replace front end bearings in 2000 FORD TAURUS?
My car has been making a loud humming noise and I think it's the bearings. I called dealership they say its (bearing) sold as a whole assembly (wheel hub). I've changed bearings before but not a wheel hub. Is it hard? I want to give it a shot. Will I need special tools? Any websites that can help?
Thanks,How to replace front end bearings in 2000 FORD TAURUS?
If you are familiar with the procedure on replacing front brakes yourself, it's not too difficult. However, you will need some special tools for this particular job, on this particular vehicle. Firstly, jack up the front of the vehicle as far as possible. Second, remove both front wheels. Remove the two 12mm bolts securing the brake caliper to the bracket. Using a broken piece of coathanger, hand caliper up on one of the spring coils. Using a 1/2%26quot; drive short 15mm socket and johnson bar, remove the two 15mm bolts securing the caliper bracket and pads to the steering knuckle. Using a 30mm impact socket with impact gun, remove the axle nut. Using an impact 21mm or 13/16%26quot; socket and impact gun, remove the lower ball joint nut. Using an air hammer with a pointed end, hammer end of shaft INWARD, until shaft moves freely on the hub. Using a pitman arm puller, separate the ball joint from the lower arm. Using the same 15mm impact socket, remove the three bolts that secure the hub to the steering knuckle. Using the air hammer, chisel the hub and bearing assembly from the steering knuckle. Installation is reverse of removal. Hope this helps.How to replace front end bearings in 2000 FORD TAURUS?
Do you remove the steering knuckle from the car? I am having difficulty removing the hub from the steering knuckle.
you need the whole hub for this car. remove the tire the release the axle bolt. remove the brakes the caliper and the rotor. after that you will see 3 or 4 nuts or bolts behind the rotor loosen them and knock on the axle towark the car. then you have to remove the whole assembly. you got to know what you are doing.How to replace front end bearings in 2000 FORD TAURUS?
most of the other answers are right on, however, depending on where in the country you live, you could have a bunch of corrosion between the steel hub and the aluminum steering knuckle, i did one a few weeks ago and it busted my a$$ and didn't want to come apart, i used a slide hammer with a hub adapter(places like pepboys have them you could borrow) and after some swinging and cursing it came outHow to replace front end bearings in 2000 FORD TAURUS?
I recommend replacing the hub and bearing assembly as one unit. In most cases when replacing just the bearing, the hub is usually scored by the old bearing and then once its installed your right back at square one with the same problem. Its not a job for amateurs and if not properly installed, you could get hurt while driving. Try to get someone with some automotive repair background to coach you if you insist on doing the job yourself. Its not worth trying to save money if you do the job wrong.
Good luck!How to replace front end bearings in 2000 FORD TAURUS?
okay sparky..well its easier than you think..you will need a manual on how to do it like a haynes you can get them at autozone or even at a book store..and then get your parts and jack up the front end and remove the tires and have you ever done the brakes on the front end..you will have to remove all that stuff and the rotor as well..then romove the coter pin and caskel nut and then remove the hub and if the bolts dont come with the new one you will have to remove the old ones or get new ones...and once you put in the new bolts place the hub on too the spindell axel and replace the nut and pin and do the brakes..and then the put the tires back on..and lower the car and dont forget to tighten every thing..I never have done this before but I have seen it done on tv..good luck...no spell check..this time..

What is Wrong Here, Hard to find problem?
'00 Ford Contour SE 4 cylinder, 2.0 Engine Front Wheel Drive.
I have a problem where my car vibrates on the freeways and if l'm just driving on the streets, I can hear a low grinding sound... I was told I needed the sway bar links, transmission mounts %26amp; Motor mounts and lower control arms replaced. I have just replaced The Transmission %26amp; engine mounts last year. The sway bar links are covered with grease and the round ends have exposed metal. They said the rubber parts on the lower control arms where worn out. I posted pictures here so you can see the area's I'm talking about. The control arms look like they are lifted or seperated when the car is on the ground, is this how it suppose to look? the transmission is a little too close to the frame, is that normal? It's alot because I tried to get different views. I have changed the cv half shaft, wheel bearing, brake pads %26amp; rotors, and tires, on the side were the vibrating is coming from, but the problems continue. Could these two parts be what is causing the 2 problems if not what could it be? Thanks.

If those bushings are toasted on the control arms, you need new arms. Those bushings can't be replaced. They are an integral part of the arm. The sway bar link would not be the problem. Someone trying to squeeze more money out of you. Also, replace the entire shaft and on both sides. Not just the half shaft.What is Wrong Here, Hard to find problem?
If those bushings are worn that could definitely lead to a uneven/rough ride... and either way wouldn't hurt to replace them, specifically the control arms.What is Wrong Here, Hard to find problem?

the trans-axle is usually about 1/4 inch from frame, just make sure it doesn't rub, could have bad hub bearingWhat is Wrong Here in Ford Car?
The %26quot;gear%26quot; is the ABS brake sensor wheel. That is used to read whether the wheel is turning or the brakes locked up in a skid. That is most liely not your problem unless you feel the brakes pulsing. Take it to a mechanic at this point. Look at how much you spent for no reason.

How to Remove rear wheel from 1994chevy cavalier?
Right - simple enough as I've changed many a flat tire on most every make - done brake jobs etc
However - this beast will not come loose. It seems stuck or rusted on what I figure is a bearing cap.
Used lots of screwloose - wire brush and some force. To no avail.
There is no manual or special tool in the kit.
Word of mouth is it is a common problem.
Oh yeah, not my car, as common maintenence would have likely have prevented all this.How to Remove rear wheel from 1994chevy cavalier?
here's what i've had to do many times. loosen the lugnuts out about 2 turns then drive it down your driveway a little and pull the parking brake (since that only stops the back wheels. don't go to fast. just 2-3 miles an hour (a medium role) do it a few times in forward and reverse untill it breaks loose.
yes, this has the potential to damage threads and is used as a last resort when a rubber mallet dosn't work (which i have found useless in the past.) if the lugnuts are only loosened a little and you don't drive it round the block, and just drive it a few feet up and down a driveway you will do no damage.How to Remove rear wheel from 1994chevy cavalier?
I cant believe that guys said drive the car with the lugs loose. idiot. that can **** up the threads on the wheel studs. If your rim is rusted to the hub just get a rubber hammer and hit the side of the tire or rim. Should knock it right off.

here's what i've had to do many times. loosen the lugnuts out about 2 turns then drive it down your driveway a little and pull the parking brake (since that only stops the back wheels. don't go to fast. just 2-3 miles an hour (a medium role) do it a few times in forward and reverse untill it breaks loose.
yes, this has the potential to damage threads and is used as a last resort when a rubber mallet dosn't work (which i have found useless in the past.) if the lugnuts are only loosened a little and you don't drive it round the block, and just drive it a few feet up and down a driveway you will do no damage.How to Remove rear wheel from 1994chevy cavalier?
I cant believe that guys said drive the car with the lugs loose. idiot. that can **** up the threads on the wheel studs. If your rim is rusted to the hub just get a rubber hammer and hit the side of the tire or rim. Should knock it right off.
Low Noise and electrical problem on Ford car?
' 00 Ford Contour SE. Front wheel drive My car has a low grinding noise any time I drive on the street or freeway. It only happens when I'm driving %26amp; not when parked in idle. The noise comes from one side of the car. It sounds like its metal grinding on metal but its not that loud. Its coming from under the pedals on the left side of the car. I have changed the wheel bearings %26amp; Cv shaft that goes from the wheel to the transmission. I was told it could be the hub assembly, is that true,can a worn out or damaged hub assembly cause the noise? Since i replaced the wheel bearing and left the hub assembly there, do i now have to replace the wheel bearing too? what can it be? maybe the tie rod end?

Car is shaking and steering wheel feels loose...?
I have a 99 Hyundai Accent 5 speed. It is just under 91K miles. I bought it in September. I recently started noticing a shake and the steering wheel felt a little loose, but I just figured it was the tires, so I replaced 2 of the tires, and then went on a road trip (Virginia Beach to Central PA)..I still felt the shaking so I figured it needed balanced. So I took it to get it balanced and changed another tire in the process. But the shaking is still happening..it's at it worst when I hit about 60. I'll have my hands on the steering wheel trying to go straight, but it's like weaving slightly back and forth, with it leaning more toward the right. I started noticing it got really bad on my way home from PA and has gotten progressively worse since then. I've been looking on here and it seems like it's the wheel bearing or the ball joint. And it's weird how it shakes, because it's almost like it goes in a circle..It vibrates for 2 seconds, stops for 2 seconds, vibrates for 2 seconds, etc. I don't want to take it to the shop because my brother can fix what ever it is, it's just the fact that I don't want to drive this car to his house if it's something that could cause me to get in an accident, so could someone tell me what it possibly could be?? Thank you so much!Car is shaking and steering wheel feels loose...?
Sound like a power steering rack problems . Have it checked along with you tie rod ends .Car is shaking and steering wheel feels loose...?
get an alignment and have the components of the front end inspected....ball joints and tie rod ends to wear out .......
even a bent brake rotor can cause problems.Car is shaking and steering wheel feels loose...?
It could be the ball joints or the wheel bearing the best thing to do is have it taken to a shop and have them just do an inspection, not only will that narrow down the problem but it may also be more than just one problem. when they check it out they can tell u everything wrong with the car, so ur brother can fix it for u. To have them do a complete inspection will cost about a 100$ depending on where you go, but can save u some time and hassle later, and also you can know what needs to be done on the car rather than just waiting untill something else breaks.

Rear wheel took a hit and now squeaks quite loud when I'm driving, except when brake is applied.?
I have a front wheel drive Mitsubishi 380. No too long ago the rear left wheel hit a curb quite hard. The wheel itself survived but now there is a loud squeaking noise coming from the rear wheel. The noise gets quite loud and only lessens as I apply the brakes. Even while driving slowly the squeaking occurs. Also, if I havent driven the car overnight or for a few hours it takes a bit of time for the squeaking to start. I have had a full wheel alignment done and they could not see what was causing the noise. From what I know it's most likely a damaged wheel bearing that is causing the problem but can anyone else suggest what else it could be and how much roughly repair would cost? I have also have the brake pads changed as I thought it couldbe contributing to the squeaking recently but the noise it still there just as before.

How can i tell wether or not my t-bird has?
i have a 96 t bird. i already changed the wheel hub assembly on the driver side. the passenger side wheel hub assembly look pretty new. my question is how can you tell which suspension you have? it could be either sport or standard. the passenger side humbs badly and the wheel hub bearing is going out. what could cause a new hub assembly to go bad? could it be just the spindle is wrong for the suspension?How can i tell wether or not my t-bird has?
the dealer or internet can tell you by the vin if there are wires going to the struts or a interior switch to adjust it is sport but that would have nothing to do with wheel bearings if they are correct for the vehicle and went bad it is because they were either to tight, to loose, or not greased properly

Are my bearing bad? Are they hard to change?
Hi, i just purchased a 1999 cbr600 f4 a few weeks ago and i rode it for the first time last weekend. I noticed that the back wheel felt a little sloppy (like it wobbled a little bit) so i got off the bike and i could just move the tire a little bit with my hand.
Do the bearings in the rear wheel need to be replaced or is it safe to ride on it like this? Could it be something else? If they do need to be replaced could you help me as to how i would go about doing that. Thanks!Are my bearing bad? Are they hard to change?

It is definitely NOT safe to ride in its current condition. You need to check and correct the cause of the problem: It could be the wheel bearings, or the swing-arm bearings. I'm assuming that the rear axle is properly tightened. First, you need the service manual for your year/model of bike. There are too many steps and too many specifics (i.e. torque values for reassembly) to learn it all online.Are my bearing bad? Are they hard to change?
Be careful! I wouldn't ride it in this condition if I were you and if you absolutely HAVE to ride very slowly. Sounds like you have either a loose swing arm / rear triangle or your axel just needs to be tightened.
Get this checked out asap or if u feel competent enough try to make sure everything is tight back there.
Good luck with the fix :)Are my bearing bad? Are they hard to change?
Bearings are the likely culprit, it need not be just the wheel bearings though, it could also be the swingarm bearings.
If you can notice a problem when riding they are probably completely shot and are not safe to ride with.
But first check the easy bits, tyre pressure, chain adjustment, fasteners tightened (to the correct torque).how to communicate with your spouse web design company

I need help with purchasing a 2004 Impreza, please answer some questions.?
Im thining about buying a 2004 impreza, here are the specs:
1. No liens on the car.
2. 2nd owner at 106,000kms There was an under $5000, claim was under the amount where the details had to be given out.
3. never raced the car.
4. Canadian car, bought in Prince George
5. No clutch change, no slip in the clutch. user was super easy on clutches
6. The only issue: wheel bearing that was replaced by subaru under warranty.
7. The paint isnt 100%. Being a northern car for most of its life the paint it a bit worn up front. Few tiny dings from poor parking lot care of other people.
I have a few questions to any impreza owners:
1) when should the clutch most likely need a change?
2) how much would a clutch and fly wheel change cost approx?
3) What size tires does it take? and how much approximately would tires cost?
THANKS MUCH IS APPRECIATED!I need help with purchasing a 2004 Impreza, please answer some questions.?
You should also consider that such a car may be expensive to insure. Check your insurance rates before buying one, for example here - carquotes.sinfree.netI need help with purchasing a 2004 Impreza, please answer some questions.?

A clutch can last anywhere from 50,000 miles to well over 100,000 miles depending on how it was used. The base clutch change here in the US runs about $700. Tire size on those were 205/55/16 and decent ones in that size can be found here in the US for about 60 to 80 a piece. One hing to note. Fast wheel bearing wear can be caused by very aggressive driving or aftermarket wheels with too low an offset. So I doubt 3 is true. I mean it's the 2nd owner so how do they know?

Changing rear hub bearing/problem with ABS? 2?
I don't know how this thing works (Yahoo Answers..), I want to reply, but how !?
Thanks Phillip for the quick respond.
You think the mechanic did it by visual inspection and turning the wheel or rotor to find out that the problem was with bearing? (it took 陆 hour, they called me that, they found the problem).
So, those screw, I don檛 know is just one or two screws holding the ABS, if it is taken out by drilling, then ABS sensor is free to come out? I am trying to find out the Honda technician is looking at easy out, by replacing them, and charging me C$500 for both ABSs rear wheel, adding $400 for bearings, labour incl. plus taxes.
Do you think, I can trust them, or any other mechanic can do it?
Thanks,
PDChanging rear hub bearing/problem with ABS? 2?
From what I can make out of your problem......1: the mechanic says the rear wheel bearings are bad . (is it just one bearing or both sides?)
2: he wants to change out the ABS sensors to;......( why does he want to change the ABS sensors?)
3: there is no reason to change the ABS sensors just because you are changing wheel bearings ; and if only one bearing is bad why does he want to change out both sides?
I think you should get another shop to check it out and then make a decision at that time .

How to change 02 f-150 front wheel bearings?
i noticed a kind of humming noise coming from the front of the truck, my gut reaction is its the bearings going out. if i remember correctly its a pretty straight forward process.
1. remove wheel
2. remove caliper
3. remove the bearing cap
4. remove the spindle nut
5. remove rotor and replace bearings
pretty sure thats the sum of it, but do any you need any special tools? its been a while since i've done any bearing work and now i at college at my tool arsenal is basically limited to a 100 or so piece craftsman set.How to change 02 f-150 front wheel bearings?
You'll need a brass punch.
The oil seals %26amp; bearings come out easy enough but use the brass punch to knock out the races. The new bearings will come with new races.
An arbor press is best to press in the new races but you can use the brass punch and carefully tap them in making sure they go in straight and evenly as you gently tap all around them in. Take your time and make sure the races are bottomed out. Pack bearing grease into the bearings before installing them.
Hope this helps.How to change 02 f-150 front wheel bearings?

The bearing itself should not be too expensive, but I recommend calling around to check several shops and see what they charge per hour of labor. Also, keep track of the time the car is being worked on, some shops will try to charge you book time, which means they look in a book, it tells them the amount of time the job normally takes, then charge you that price, whether or not it was a shorter time. But if it is a longer time, they will charge you for the actual time. This is a common practice, but you don't have to take it, time them as the work, you already know their rate per hour for labor, and don't let them charge you more than the time they worked.How much it will cost?
In response to your question. There is a published manual with the alloted time, parts prices may vary depending on shop mark up and quality. If you call around they should be able to give you definite quotes.
In response to Fank T. I don't understand why so many people on this site try to slap maechanics around. I am an HONEST shop owner and mechanic. Book time is book time and that is what you charge the customer. If I do it faster, wich is usually, that is to my benefit. It is because I know what I am doing, and I haave spent the money on the proper tools to do the job correctly. If it takes me longer, that is my problem. Customer still gets charged book time. If I can't make money, then I need to find a new career.
All of the shop owners I know operate like this. I wouldn't associate with one that didn't. I understand you can get robbed very easily. But find someone your comfortable with and you should be ok. Most of us are just trying to make an HONEST dollar.

I put a new front wheel bearing on my car, now i'm getting 1/2 the MPG i was. Could i have tightened it too mu?
Nothing else changed on the car. as soon as i was done with the bearing, the car went from getting almost 300 miles a tank to 200. So from 30mpg to 20mpg. I'm thinking it's gotta be the problem. But i don't know how this could be. You can't tighten a bearing too much being that it's pressed in, it's a fixed piece. I'm wondering if it's a bum bearing. am i wrong?I put a new front wheel bearing on my car, now i%26039;m getting 1/2 the MPG i was. Could i have tightened it too mu?
Anything is possible but not this...........
If it were too tight it would heat your wheel / hub / caliper changing color and burn-out the bearing causing ..smoke.......dripping greese....not cause a decrease in MPGI put a new front wheel bearing on my car, now i%26039;m getting 1/2 the MPG i was. Could i have tightened it too mu?
what kind of car. if it,s the kind of bearing that you adjust then it,s possible that you could have gotten it too tight. if it is then you will burn the bearing up. if the bearing is pressed into the hub then it,s factory pressed.I put a new front wheel bearing on my car, now i%26039;m getting 1/2 the MPG i was.

Wheel bearing repair messing up brakes?
Hi. I have an 03 Oldsmobile Alero. Yesterday at the local garage I had my front drivers side wheel bearing replaced. Yesterday when I was driving the couple of miles home I noticed something was different. It was steering great but the breaks seemed %26quot;loose%26quot;. I pressed them and they didnt seem as %26quot;tight%26quot; as usual. I drove it about twenty miles today and the breaks are just completely jacked up. They were barely even catchin, they were 10 times more delayed. Just wondering...what could have messed them up.. the pads were recently changed and the rouders rotated..so just wondering what could the mechanic have done to mess things up. and how much would parts cost. thank you.Wheel bearing repair messing up brakes?
when the mechanic took the front apart to replace the bearing he would have had to remove the brake calipers from the rotors. Most of the time they don't have to be taken off completely but can be laid aside. If it was completely removed he may not have bled the brakes after reinstalling. If not taken off he may have damaged the brake line when setting it aside. If the brakes are soft and getting worse I would assume there is air in the system. Either take it back and demand it be fixed (free) or take it to another mechanic to have the brake system checked.Wheel bearing repair messing up brakes?
You need to have it looked at immediately. The brakes could go completely out. It sounds like they done something wrong when they had it apart.Wheel bearing repair messing up brakes?

Wheel bearing? 2000 Impala?
So, my car has been vibrating really badly when I turn my steering wheel to the left whenever I'm driving around a curve and it does it whenever I'm speeding up too. I took it to the dealership today to get my oil changed and they said my passenger side outer tie rod was bad and so was my driver sider hub bearing. I replaced the tie rod today (the outer one) and the clicking noise I hear when I turn my wheel has decreased but not completely gone and it still vibrates whenever I turn. How badly is my wheel bearing wore out? How long will it last? I'm supposed to get it done Thurs but I'm scared it's something more than the wheel bearing. Help!Wheel bearing? 2000 Impala?
Ok, first off I'd be a bit skeptical about a wheel bearing for 60 bucks. The wheel bearing for your car is a whole hub assembly, so unless they are going to press the bearing out and press in a new one (about an hour labor with a hydraulic press so $20 to put it on seems cheap now) that sounds like a cheap assembly. Depending on the braking systems of your car (4 wheel ABS or 2 wheel ABS) the hubs cost about $168 from NAPA. As far as the problems is concerned, if the problem was with the drivers side bearing then you would notice it turning to the right; all the weight shifts to the opposite side when turning. Like others to answer, I would have them check the tulip (CV) joints in the CV shaft on the passengers side. As far as safety is concerned, if the bearing does seize up while you are driving that can cause the car to pull in the direction of the seizure so if you are not ready for it you can swerve pretty bad in that direction. I've seen bad bearing last for 2 days after making noise and I've seen them last for 6 months...it's really a crap shoot.Wheel bearing? 2000 Impala?

This happened to my 2003 Impala last year.

It's hard to say...the ball bearings in these American cars suck...my friend has a Cavalier and has had bearings go bad in two different front wheels. The first time he drove around in it like that for a month or two, lol, then it got real bad (loud). So it can last a while but it depends on how bad it is, the position, everything. Let it go too long and you will really **** it up so just be careful, drive it slow, and you should def last til Thursday.

Dear Paseo-
You are going to be in for a big suprise. That is not an easy job.
Those bearings are pressed into the hub assembly, and will require you to completely reove the hubs from the car. This is going to include removal of the brake calipers, CV shafts, Struts, (disconnected from the hub at the top), the ball joint removed from the bottom. And the steering end links to your Rack and Pinion.
Now that is not the interesting part. You then get to reinstall all of that, then head down to an alignment shop and have your wheels re-aligned.
The new bearings are not super expensive, but they will require being pressed into the hub after the old ones are removed. Its not the parts that are the expensive part, its the labor, plus the alignment.
A word of caution. Remember the front suspension is under spring tension, so if you don't have the proper strut compressor, things are going to get a little exciting.
I would recommend that you let a shop that is properly equipped deal with this job. Should one of those springs cut loose while you are working under there, you might have a little extra Iron in your diet you weren't counting on.
%26quot;Frodo of the Nine Fingered and the Sp-ring of Doom.%26quot;
I have a close friend who lost his finger to such an accident, and I had to rush him to the ER. Needless to say, after that event, I let the shops handle that work.
I hope I helped you out!
Good LuckCan anyone tell me how to change my front wheel bearings for my 93 toyota paseo?detailed if poss.?
Quite a straight forward job and if you are equipped with power tools should be over by 2 hours.
Cost about $200 to change both bearings and include replacement charge.

Your biggest obstacle is going to be the shop press. You are not going to have one and it would cost you more than the value of your car to get one.
You will need a 30 mm socket and appropriate drive tool to remove the axle nut, a 17 mm socket to remove the brake caliper assy from the steering knuckle, also the strut bolts that hold it to the knuckle are the same size, dikes to pull the cotter pin from the tie rod fastener. After the tie rod fastener is off this is where the hammer comes in. A few sharp blows to the part of the knuckle where the tie rod goes into will pop the tie rod out. Be careful to not hit the tie rod end threads or else you are going for a new one. Then 3 bolts hold the lower control arm to the knuckle 14 or 17 mm. Take that out and you are almost there.
This is the part where you may want to go to a shop before hand and ask them if they would install the bearings for you. If you can find a taker, you are in business. They will put your bearings in for you and all you will have to do is re-assemble the thing.
You will not be able to remove the bearings on your own. They are easily pressed in and out, so let the shop do this unless you know someone who has access to a press and could do you a favor. There is a seal kit you will need for each bearing that are a little difficult to install with out the proper tools and a seal driver kit can set you back some dough.
If you want to have a shop do it, should be in the ballpark of 3.5-4 labor hours and about 100-120 bucks for parts to do both sides.
There is also the issue of the actual hub being worn which is a possibility. The hub is actually the part that has your wheel studs on it. If the bearings are excessively worn you may need to replace one or both of these.These will run you about 100 dollars each new if needed.Can anyone tell me how to change my front wheel bearings for my 93 toyota paseo?detailed if poss.?
all the people are right ,you need a shop with a press to do it. I usually strip it down and take it to the shop to let them press it and they usually only charge about 25 to do it. Front wheel drive bearings are just to hard to get out without a press.

trying to change the front wheel bearing. got the brake disc and caliper off and am now stuck.cant get into bearing, seems to be a rotor thing in the way , how do u get this off, tried hitting it with hammer but no luck. any ideasFord fiesta mk3 n reg?
I'd seriously consider getting a garage to do it because you sound like you don't have a clue and i wouldn't want the wheel to fall off and kill you or someone else.
To do it properly you need to undo the driveshaft nut, the bottom balljoint ect and completely remove the whole hub assembly to work on it at a bench.

Wheel bearing?
How much does it cost to change wheel bearings if you go to a shop, is it expensive or is it better to change it your self.Wheel bearing?
That depends entirely on the car you have! Most older cars that are rear wheel drive have very inexpensive bearings in them. Many new cars and trucks have the wheel bearing as part of the front hub so parts and labor could be VERY expensive in some cases. BUT EITHER way the price is different on every make and model of car.Wheel bearing?
If you don't know how to do it, you're better off getting aa shop to do it. You can easily ruin new wheel bearings if you don't make sure the bearing races are good, and the new ones are tightened correctly. Replacing bearing races is a little more complicated than the bearings themselves.

Disc or drum rear brakes? Really not much harder than doing a front wheel bearing on an old rear drive car, remember them? Remove the drum or caliper and rotor, remove dust cap, remove nut{might be easier to pry off cap and bust nut loose with car still on ground}. The hub/bearing assy should come off, may need puller. Reverse steps with new hub and tighten to torque spec. think its 185 ftlbs. Use a new nut included with hub.self employment road to riches horses

I don't think that the brakes would be holding the drum on.
Many times the drum is simply held there because of rust, and the fact that it has been there for a long time. Take a rubber hammer or a hammer and a shoe, and try to hit the drum to knock it loose.

I need to get my front wheel bearing fixed..who do i trust?

but my girlfriend took her car there i guess and she had a tranny leak, and all they did was do a flush and refill it, and she said that they were stupid for not even noticing the leak cause even she could see it... and they also did a diagnostics on her car and didnt tell her her timing belt was bad, or battery was nearly dust.
shes telling me to go to her mechanic. but i dont know what to do. it seems like theres always someone who hates a shop, and someone who likes a shop. is replacing a bearing so difficult that i could be screwed if i go to the place i usually go to? i just want it done right cause its gonna cost me 300 dollars.
thing is tho she drives a 200 jetta, i drive a 95 camry. so im sure my car is much simplier to work on..I need to get my front wheel bearing fixed..who do i trust?
if you trust this guy, then go to him......
definitely find a mechanic you can trust, and take your car there for everything... a good mechanic will keep records on your car,and warn you of problems that are developing....I need to get my front wheel bearing fixed..who do i trust?
go to a toyota specialist or even the dealership, they should know how to deal with their own model carsI need to get my front wheel bearing fixed..who do i trust?
do you know someone who is handy with cars? bearings are cheap and fairly easy to replace.

Lose Wheel Bearing Question?
Hello,
I was recently told I have a lose wheel bearing, and it is very important for it to be fixed asap. I was quoted ~$160 for it, $100 for labor and $60 for parts. Is this reasonable? And is there any way to check myself if it is lose? The mechanics had also said I needed a alignment, but changed their minds when I informed them I had one 2 months ago when they recommended it. They also told me my car had to have a %26quot;high mileage%26quot; oil, and the oil change was $45 which seemed high. Because my car has odd sized tires, I just spent $160 dollars on a new tire (including labor) today and last december. Because of this I want want to know how dangerous/real this new wheel bearing problem might be, to be sure I'm not wasting money I don't have. Thanks!Lose Wheel Bearing Question?
Jack up the tire that has a bad wheel bearing. When the wheel is off of the ground, wiggle it back and forth to see if there is any looseness. If there is looseness, then your wheel bearing is probably bad. That price is pretty accurate too.Lose Wheel Bearing Question?
Without knowing what kind of car it is I can't really guess on the price. You sound a little skeptical of your mechanic, maybe you should look around and get a second opinion. I couldn't tell you the difference between high mileage oil and low mileage oil but I can tell you that oil costs alot more than it used to. It has tripled in five years. But I'm sure your car does not need high mileage oil. Oil's job is to get dirty. It just gets dirty quicker when your car is older. change your oil sooner.Lose Wheel Bearing Question?
well, depending on where your mechainic is but it sounds like there trying to upsell you.. first if you had a lose wheel bearing you would feel a vibration, and you would hear a nose coming from the wheel area.. but it mostly sounds like your mechanic is trying to upsell your car,.. And im very surpised that its only 160.00 to do a wheel bearing.Lose Wheel Bearing Question?
$160 for a new bearing installed is a gift do it now.
high mileage oil? this is a lie, just use 10w40 oil with basic filter and change every 2500 miles
different tires are ok as long as the front match each other. on the rear it is ok if they do not matchLose Wheel Bearing Question?

does your drum have two little holes in it near the center? if so, you need to find correct bolts and slowly turn in it and drum slowly move outward. if you don t have two holes then you have to back off self adjuster from rear of the brakes then pull drum off.thin hair Mini Crib Bedding Sets

Is my wheel bearing going bad?
i think my 98 tahoe might have a bad wheel bearing. there is a sort of clicking noise coming from the front drivers side wheel that varies in speed in accordance to how fast im going. i just noticed it about 2 weeks ago and was wondering if someone could find this part for me online? ive looked for it but the prices vary from $6 to $120 and that just doesnt seem right. its a 1998 chevy tahoe LT with 4 wheel drive. also how long do i have to change it and what could happen if i dont?Is my wheel bearing going bad?
Could be a bearing, but I would also check the U-joints at the wheel..as well as several other things...before you spend money on parts you don't need...get someone to check it..usaully they will do it for free..than get a second opinion..

How do you change the front wheels bearings on a 2004 Grand Prix ?
I've changed the front wheel bearings on my front drive rabbit but wonder if it isn't easier on a GP. Are the bearings attached via a flange around the perimeter of the bearing ? Do they need to be pressed out and new ones pressed in ?
Thanks,How do you change the front wheels bearings on a 2004 Grand Prix ?
Its a sealed hub/bearing assembly. The entire hub is replaced as a unit.
Remove the wheel and tire, remove the brake caliper and rotor, remove the CV axle nut, disconnect the ABS sensor wire, un-bolt the hub assembly from the back, attach slide hammer to front of hub assembly and whack away. Disconnecting the ball joint may give you more room to play. Installation is of course the reverse (without the slide hammer).

No they do not need pressed, they are a sealed bearing unit. There are retaining bolts around a flange, I believe there are three of them. Once you buy the bearings at the parts store you will see what I am talking about. It's an entire hub assembly with the bearing and lugs, etc. Take your caliper, caliper bracket, rotor, and axle nut off. The axle will will slide out of the splined hub, and then you simply unbolt it and unplug ABS if applicable. Its not hard to do at all, I've done a lot of them at work, I'm a mechanic. Good Luck!How do you change the front wheels bearings on a 2004 Grand Prix ?
You'll need to take the rotor and caliper off to be sure. If there are fasteners, then you're in business, otherwise the knuckles will have to be pulled off and the old bearing pressed out at a machine shop.

How Do I Fix The Grinding/squeaking from right wheel?
I own a 2004 monte carlo LS (3.4). I recently changed the wheel and hub bearing, when i went to put the caliper back on the pads fell off so when i assembled everything i compressed the brake and cleaned and reasembled the pads, caliper, and rotors. Now when I drive I can hear a sorta grinding/ squealing that follows the rotation of the wheel exactly regardless of speed. The noise is still there when I brake and turn left or right. Any Ideas?How Do I Fix The Grinding/squeaking from right wheel?
Remove the wheel you worked on and check to make sure nothing is rubbing that you touched. Clean and reset anything you can get to. Check the bearing too, make sure nothing came off or loose. May just be something simple.
good luck.......How Do I Fix The Grinding/squeaking from right wheel?
there needs to be a little grease between the caliper and brake pad backer (The metal to metal contact)
You said you cleaned the caliper and pad, you may have wiped that away.
The vibration created from the brake pad and rotor contact transfers to the brake pad backer-caliper contact and squeaks or grinds
