Check that the rear axle is not leaking oil on the brakes!
If the brakes are clean and no oil then check the brake check valve near the master cylinder
Remove the tire. Remove the caliper and caliper bracket and hang aside. Remove the rotor. Remove the axle nut. Unplug the harness and remove it from the plastic holders. Turn the knuckle as necessary to remove the bolts securing the hub to the knuckle. Pushing on the axle outter joint will ease the process of removing the bolts. You may or may not have to hammer on the bearing to remove it from the knuckle. To install it reverse the procedure.
Needs rear axle seals which requires removal of the rear axles. Shafts must be inspected to make sure the surface the seal rides on does not have wear.
They are fitted very securely into the axle. It will come out as it is just splined onto the output shaft. The secret is equal pressure to the rear of the hub. Because of the close tolerances, it cant just be pulled from one spot on the hub as that jams the opposite side. Tap around the rear of the hub with a hammer in a circular pattern or use a 3 jaw puller to exert equal pressure.
These axles have weak axle bearing mounts. Follow the grease trail and you will be able to see which one cracked. I fix this with an older year model axle.
do not replace only the bearing. replace hub assembly. remove rim/tire , remove caliper, mounting plate, rotor. . un bolt hub assembly, unplug abs. remove front axle nut if 4x4. you may need to rent the axle nut remove kit and hub puller. pull out hub. drive axle reward out of hub. install new part. do not torque hub over 90lbs. check with parts sell for spec
well you need to pull rear cover and pull rotors or drums off and there are two clips in side the diff but you need to pull the center shaft out AND PUSH THE SHAFT IN WORD AND REMOVE TWO CLIPS AXLE WILL SLIDE OUT
You are going to have to pry it over the axle on one side of the park brake shoe assembly with either a pry bar or screwdriver. then just pop the new one back over the axle in the same way. Hope this helps
GM has an issue with dash clusters since 2002 and the company will not admit to it. We pay $250 each time to swap out the clusters. Let me know what city you are in and I will find you a company locally that replaces clusters.
Mark your drive shaft coincidenly with the rear axle and tranny. Remove drive shaft. Press out the old u joints and press in the new. You will need a torch for heat and a lot of patience. Have fun!
