Hub Assembly Replacement

Left my previous thread go as I have now determined the issue...

I have to replace the hub assembly which appears to be easy enough.
I am wondering if anyone has done this before, the one thing I fear could give me issues is getting the CV shaft end out of the hub assembly after removing the large nut... Is this pressed in or should it slide out easily?

thanks,
Robby

the shaft will just push in . should be able to get the bolts out from the back of hub with out taking the whole thing off

That's great! It was really the only thing that worried me since I don't have a puller or anything special to use to extract the shaft from the hub...

Thanks,

Usually the shaft just pops right out of the hub, but sometimes it is a bit stuck. The quick and easy way to deal with that if you don't have a puller is to put the nut back on the shaft to protect the axle threads, put a piece of wood over the nut, and tap the wood with a hammer. Overall, it's a pretty easy job.

Would anyone happen to have the torque specs for the axle nut for this vehicle?

Tight. Just stand on and bounce on the ratchet.

:) Actually I don't recommend that, if it is torqued to high you risk early damage to the bearing and not enough well that speaks for itself...

I found some for an '06' so I am going to use this as a guideline:
- 3 bolts that hold the hub in place: 96 ft/lbs
- Axle/Spindle nut: 118 ft/lbs
- Caliper bolts: 137 ft/lbs

Thanks,
