Anyone have a how to on changing out front wheel bearings in a '94 Camaro? The guys at Les Schwab say that they are getting bad. I don't hear anything yet, but I figured I'd better see if I could find out how to change them out myself as it will save me about $400 in labor and thier parts. What a joke, these guys won't put on any parts that are not purchased through them, but they are charging $150 more than the local parts store, plus labor. In any case if anyone has the info let me know, if not I will make sure to provide an illustrated guide after I figure it out. Can't be that bad right?

You cannot change just the bearings. You'll need to get new hub assemblies.
Remove the brake calpiers and rotors
Unplug the ABS connectors on the backs of the hubs
remove 4 bolts holding hub to spindle
remove hub
install is the reverse.Tracy

Originally posted by Master of StiksOh, thats right it's a sealed bearing. It lasts longer, but is more of a pain to change out. Alright, thanks guys.Rob B 95Z A4 Tech Page (Part numbers / locations, how to's, schematics, DTC's...) Home Page - shbox.com

Originally posted by alenstein..Yeah but lets not forget it costs little more due to the sensor inside. I think GM wants $160 for each.Rob B 95Z A4 Tech Page (Part numbers / locations, how to's, schematics, DTC's...) Home Page - shbox.com

Not to hijack this post, but does anyone know if they offer this bearing without ABS?? I'm deleting my ABS but I want to change my hub bearings while I have the whole front end apart (Major OVerhaul to the bird) If they offered a cheaper non ABS alternative I would be very pleased.1995 Pontiac Formula Firebird 383 Stroker 11.5:1 compression, ASM Thottle body, Custom Grind Comp Cam, MSD ignition, BMR strut, k-member, Upper and Lower control arms, rear control arms, and still a work in progress.
