2001 Sierra Brakes Lock up after replacing Wheel hub assembly HELP!

[elguadas]

Hello all,

I replaced the the left front wheel bearing assembly on my nephew's 2001 Sierra 4.8 liter; the procedure was very simple and found no problems taking out the old one a installing the new part. I doubled checked my work and everything is where is supposed to go, including reconnecting the ABS wire.

The problem started the day after; the brakes locked up each time when coming to a stop, they would somewhat unlock by depressing the pedal an pressing on it again. I asked him to disconnect the negative battery cable for at least an hour and then reconnect it. My nephew took it for a test drive and now tells me the problem only happens at the first stop, no problem after that.

I would like to help him fix this problem asap since he is leaving for college this Friday.

Cheers,

Jorge

Might want to check if there are any ABS codes stored. The new hub could be bad electronically.

The Silverado forum gets more traffic so you might want to post over there as well.
