Chevrolet 84459703 Front Wheel Bearing (W/ Brg & Whl Spd Sen)

The hub assembly can be removed from the axle tube by using a special socket to remove the adjusting nut and pulling the hub assembly straight off the axle tube.

The old bearing can be extracted from the housing using a bearing puller and slide hammer.

After adjusting the bearings, the key and retaining ring should be installed.

Install the driveaxle/hub nut and tighten it to the torque specifications.

The first step is to remove the axleshaft and oil seal.

Install the driveaxle/hub nut and tighten it to the torque specifications.

The new bearing can be installed using a bearing installer or a piece of pipe against the outer race.

1. Install the bearing with the square shoulder facing in, using a bearing driver or a socket with an outside diameter slightly smaller than that of the bearing. 2. Install a new seal and deflector, lubricating the lips of the seal with multi-purpose grease. 3. Carefully drive in the axle shaft with a soft-face hammer. 4. Fill the differential with the proper lubricant. 5. Install the driveaxle and differential carrier splash shield. 6. Install the wheel and lug nuts. 7. Lower the vehicle. 8. Tighten the lug nuts to the proper torque specifications. 9. Check for proper operation.

Install the wheel, lower the vehicle, and tighten the lug nuts to the torque specifications.

Install the bearing with the square shoulder facing in, using a bearing driver or a socket with an outside diameter slightly smaller than that of the bearing.

The hub assembly should be placed on the axle tube during installation.

Before reinstalling the axleshaft and lowering the vehicle, it should be ensured that there is no play in the hub assembly.

To remove and install components in the front differential for AWD systems, follow these steps:Remove the stabilizer bar link and, if applicable, the front shock absorber.

To remove and install components in the front differential for 4WD systems, follow these steps: Remove the bolts securing the axle tube to the differential carrier and the nuts attaching the tube to its support bracket. Carefully remove the output shaft tube, ensuring no components fall out. Mount the tube in a vise and remove the internal components. Measure and remove the axleshaft bearing using a slide hammer and bearing remover attachment. For installation, install the bearing to the original depth using a bearing driver or socket, then install a new seal and deflector, lubricating the seal lips with grease. Carefully drive in the axleshaft, followed by the internal components. Apply RTV sealant to the tube-to-differential housing mating surface, and install the tube assembly, tightening bolts and nuts to specified torques. Reinstall the driveaxle, front axle shift motor, and fill the differential with lubricant.

The initial steps to remove and install components in the front differential of selectable 4WD systems are as follows: Loosen the wheel lug nuts. Raise the vehicle securely on jackstands. Remove the right front wheel. Remove the differential carrier splash shield if equipped. Drain the lubricant from the front differential. For 4WD systems, unbolt the right driveaxle from the axleshaft flange and support it out of the way. Remove the front axle shift motor and, if applicable, disconnect the front stabilizer link or remove the front shock absorber/coil spring assembly. On 2500/3500 models, remove the front axle bracket bolts and slide the bracket forward for additional clearance. Support the differential carrier with a floor jack and a block of wood.

It should be ensured that the new bearing is tapped in fully.

To remove and install components in the front differential for AWD systems, follow these steps: Remove the stabilizer bar link and, if applicable, the front shock absorber. Unbolt the right driveaxle from the axleshaft flange, supporting it properly. Support the differential carrier with a floor jack and a block of wood. Remove nuts attaching the axle shaft to its support bracket and the bolts securing the axle shaft flange to the differential carrier. Use a brass punch and hammer to separate the axle shaft from the differential case side gear. Remove the inner axle shaft assembly and axle shaft. Replace the inner seal and bearing with a special tool, then apply RTV sealant to the differential sealing surface and install the inner axle shaft housing assembly. Install the axle shaft to the support bracket and align the splines with the differential side gear. Tap the axle shaft with a mallet until the ring (clip) aligns with the groove in the differential case side gear. Install the axle shaft to the inner flange and tighten the bolts. Reinstall the stabilizer link, fill the differential with lubricant, install the differential carrier splash shield, and finally, install the wheel and lug nuts. Lower the vehicle, tighten the lug nuts, and check for proper operation.

After adjusting the bearings, the key and retaining ring should be installed.

Remove the hub retaining bolts from the steering knuckle and remove the disc shield.

After removing the hub assembly, the oil seal should be discarded.

After discarding the oil seal, all components should be cleaned and inspected for wear or damage.

After adjusting the bearings, the key and retaining ring should be installed.
