2000 Bonneville SLE Front Hub Replacement
I have a 2000 Bonneville SLE and I believe that the right front Hub Bearing is bad.
The car makes a humming noise that starts at about 40 MPH and increases in volume with increased speed. I was wondering how hard it is to replace the hub assembly. I replace a front hub assembly on a 1990 Chevy Corsica years ago and that was a piece of cake. I was wondering if it is basically the same procedure or is there something special that must be done when replacing one a 2000 Bonneville. Some instructions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I am not certain if the 2000 is the same as the 95 but the 95 was a real peace of cake. Take off wheel, Caliper, and Rotor. Disconnect ABS speed sensor wire, unbolt four bolts holding bearing housing and you are done.

Yeah, That was the same general procedure as the Chevy and it was very simple.
I just wasn't sure if there was any special tools involved

Re: 2000 Bonneville SLE Front Hub Replacement
Just don't use an impact wrench on your Bonne, as the hub has an ABS sensor in it and the hammering acion of the impact wrench can ruin them. Torque the axle nut to spec by hand.

Re: 2000 Bonneville SLE Front Hub Replacement
Do the bolts holding the hub assembly on the steering knuckle require a special socket (Torx) etc, or it a bolt with a regular head on it??
