Now I got a bad hub bearing in my 02 burb

[blackbeaSSt]

I got lucky and did the o2 sensor myself to the tune of $65 when the mechanics wanted darn near $300. This hub bearing seems to be a little out of my league though. Same mechanics are wanting about $385 out the door for this job.

Anybody in or around Anderson, SC that will do it for the low-low

edit: and of course cline was dead on a month ago when i asked about these things:

Here some other things that seem to wear out "regularly"....
Front wheel bearings (hub assembly).
Parking brake shoes &/or rear rotors.
Intermediate steering shaft.
Intake manifold gaskets.
Water pump gaskets.
Fuel pump.
Fuel pressure regulator.

That price is high in my opinion, $7500 to $8000 is more reasonable.

how in the crap my mechanic missed that i don't know. i was able to move the tire back and forth about 3-4 inches. guess he won't be my mechanic anymore!

If you can do brake pads, you can do a hub. 45 min maybe a hour the first time with hand tools. Especially if its a 2wd. 4wd will take you about 15 min more.

nah im in no way mechanically inclined! im still shocked i replaced the o2 sensor with no problems. and when dealing with brakes i'd rather not have youtube as a source of info to try it myself! im sure my wife (who drives this 90% of the time) concurs

Well if you can't find someone and decided to takle it yourself, I can walk you through it. The hub should run you $150-$200

i just told them to go ahead and do it. i work 8-5 and then have a 2 year old and a preggo wife at home so no time to play mechanic! but thanks for the offer usm! if anything else goes wrong i'll know where to turn to get help for sure!

pull the caliper off and hang it to the side, take off the rotor, unplug the sensor for the hub, remove the 3 bolts that hold the hub on, pry off the hub. took about an hour and im far from a mechanic lol.

let us know how it turned out, at least you could be ready for the passenger side!
