Front Hub Question

Can you replace the bearing in the front hubs, or do you have to replace the whole hub? Car is a 97 Z28 6-speed

Sealed hub. Replace the whole thing.

Re: Front Hub Question

I have to replace the 2 front assemblies on my 95z28, is that easy to do? Do I need anything special to get the old ones off/put the new ones on?

Thanks!

Robert

Re: Front Hub Question

Hub assemblies are easy to swap, remove the brake caliper, remove the brake disk, disconnect the ABS sensor connector and unbolt the hub.

You'll need to install wheel studs onto the new hub.
