Re: Front Wheel Hub Assembly 2000 Blazer 2WD

Is it possible to replace the entire wheel assembly, ie, rotor, caliper, hub, from say a 4WD Blazer, as those bearings are replaceable and not near as pricey?

Any ideas???
I read the instructions in Chiltons and it referred to repacking or replacing the bearings themselves. It never said anything about having to replace the entire hub assembly. I went to NAPA and got two outer bearings, two inner bearings, two new seals, and grease for $50. Everything I've been reading on this forum indicates I'll be in for a big surprise if I try to disassemble the hub to replace the bearings. Is this the case? I have a 99 2WD LT.
