i am new to the site and have a question for yall.

i need to repack the front bearings on the drivers side, i've been looking through my haynes manual and cant find how to do it. any suggestions?

thanks
Cory Burnett.

 

What year is the truck?

 

its a 03 silverado 1500.

had to make a new account.

 

2 wheel drive or 4 wheel? i know the 4wd's are sealed bearings nothing you can do to them but replace them, for that year i don't know if the 2wd is tapered bearing or sealed. ether way if you have noise or play in the bearing they need to be replaced.

 

2wd, i have a mix between a squeal and a grinding noise. everytime i pull off the tire to look, when i put it back on it stops for about 10-15 mins then right back to making noise. i dont want to break down and pay somebody to fix it, but i am at my wits end.

i just got done with a 2000 mile trip, and it has gotten alot worse since i have been here.

 

It's a sealed unit, and must be replaced. Some come off easy, but most I've seen are a pain to remove.

 

i noticed that it aint gunna be easy when i had the tire off the other day. i am going to be working in a parking lot also, its gunna be a fun day.

 

just got it done, thanks for the help!

 

Were they seized on or come off easy when you took out the bolts ?

 

i just took off the bolts to the assembly and hit it with a hammer a couple of times and it popped off.
