I have decided that my front passenger wheel bearing needs to be replaced on my 98 cavalier 2.2L. After reading this site and other references I have found that the procedure is as follows:
- Loosen lug nuts and loosen/remove 30 mm cv axle nut
- Jack car up on stands and engage e-brake
- Remove wheel
- Remove brake caliper and rotors
- Remove the 3 T-55 bolts
- Use slide hammer to get hub assembly off of axle
- Place seal into back of hub and bolt back onto axle
If I have something wrong please let me know.
Also, I have heard different opinions about whether or not it is necessary to detach the controll arm from the ball joint. Could someone comment on this?
