OK If you have manual locking hubs, one could be acting up. Jack the rear wheels off the ground and block the front wheels. Be sure you have the trucks back axel supported, not just on jacks! Then, with a person in the drivers seat, put it in gear. The 'driver' will turn the steering from lock to lock, while you check [from outside the truck, not under]] for the shaft at the front wheels that is spinning. This is the prob ! Frankster016

SOURCE: noisy front wheel bearing

Yes the bearings can be changed on this truck. The bearing races will need to be removed from the rotor to do this use a punch and hammer once the rotor is removed. You will need inner bearing and race, outer bearing and race, and a seal, plus grease to pack the bearings. The hub on these trucks is the rotor. Please rate.

Remove caliper and nut to axle should come of with a little help of a rubber hammer. Knock bolts out from the front and drive new ones in from the back. You can use a lugnut with the flat side down to help pull them in and a hammer to help. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: chey aveo front hub bearing what is this?

yes front wheen drives have hub bearings. Most of them need the hubs to be pressed apart to replace them. the hub bearing supports the end of the CV drive shaft closest to the wheel. hope that helps.

SOURCE: cannot get the hub off to replace rotors

the rotors should be on the hub behind the wheel... you will have to remove the brake caliper and it should just pull off... may be a few clips on the wheel stud

Front rotor will not tighten down

Nothing. The rotor is held on by being sandwiched between the wheel and the hub. You slide it (the brake rotor) over the studs and mount the caliper over the rotor. Then fasten the caliper to its attach points. When you mount the tire/wheel and tighten the lugnuts this prevents the rotor from coming off. Get yourself to the local library, and checkout the automotive repair manual for your make and model of car. Run through the steps for removing/replacing the brake rotor. Verify you did all the steps correctly!! Good luck.

Do you have to take the hub off on a brake job for a avalanche 2003 4 wheel drive

To do a brake job front or rear there is no need to remove the "hubs" the front and rear rotors or rear drums are knock offs. if they are stuck to the hub a couple of gentle hits with a hammer will usually free them up. If you are replacing the rotors than whack away as hard as you would like.

When buying rotors for a 95 Bronco 4X4 should the rotors be seperate from the hub or should they be attached as one piece? Im getting mixed info from part stores.

The reason you're getting mixed info from parts stores is because it comes both ways.
Look at the following to determine which one you have, 4 wheel disc brakes (floating front rotors) or rear drum brake model (except 4 wheel disc brakes):
Brake Disc (Rotor) REMOVAL & INSTALLATION Except F-Super Duty with 4-Wheel Disc Brakes Fig. 1: Secure the caliper so there is no tension on the brake hose 88289p22.jpg
  1. Jack up the front of the truck and support it with jackstands. Remove the front wheel.
  2. Remove the caliper assembly and support it on the frame with a piece of wire (or something equally secure) without disconnecting the brake fluid hose.
  3. Remove the hub and rotor assembly.
  4. Install the rotor in the reverse order of removal, and adjust the wheel bearing as outlined in Section 1.
F-Super Duty with 4-Wheel Disc Brakes The hub and rotor are individual pieces, allowing the rotor to be replaced independently. The front and rear rotors are the same and are attached with 10 bolts and washers. The bolts are tightened a little at a time, in a crisscross fashion, to an ultimate torque of 74–89 ft. lbs. (100–121 Nm). prev.gif next.gif

2003 Avalanche--front brakes make a pulsating/grinding sound when applied while on wet pavement. Doesn't stop vehicle very well. I replaced the wheel/hub bearing assembly on both sides and the rotors and...

Not to question your ability, if you listen from the drivers seat while driving, just do yourself a favor, check the rear brakes, funny how sound travels and tricks the mind

Abs Is engaging irratically on 2002 avalanche

Did you bleed the system after doing the brakes? and since you din't say abs light I assume you mean the brakes are acting erratically. If you bleed the breaks first after that try it and if it still does it make sure you have the correct rotors and pads.

CHanging out the front hub assembly on a 1992 Jeep Cherokee 4wd

Below is a link to the front rotor and all components on a 4WD Jeep Cherokee.

http://www.chiltonlibrary.com/content/images/8674/images/86749g36.pdf

4-Wheel Drive
  1. Loosen the lug nuts on the front wheels.
  2. Raise and support the vehicle safely.
  3. Remove the front wheels.
  4. Remove the calipers, but don't disconnect the brake lines. Suspend the calipers out of the way.
  5. Remove the rotor.
  6. Installation is the reverse of removal. Tighten wheel lug nuts to 75 ft. lbs. (101 Nm).
Best of luck!

Remove the front disc rotor

The rotor and hub assembly are held together by the studs,you must first remove the 4-wheel drive hub assembly,then the wheel bearing nuts,and pull the hub and rotor off as a unit. Next lay it(back down) on a piece of wood, using a drift punch drive the studs out. Turn it over ,lay it(face down) on a block of wood, line the new stud splines up with the grooves in the hub and drive them in with the punch and reassemble. A set of dentist style picks will be helpful with the clip in the 4wd hub and a 4 lug 4wd nut wrench will be needed.
