L series front wheel bearing
 

Couple of questions for 2002 L200
Renewing front wheel bearings.

1, Do I need to take it to a shop to "Un-Press" the bearing and press a new one in after I take the hub off or can I rent one of those bearing press tool sets they rent at autozone,discount auto parts etc ?
2, Anyone know the Torque setting on the bearing?

Thanks
Billy.

Kinda easy, find video on you tube. Did you find the parts yet?

I have done bearings on cars before but for some reason there has been a lot of chatter that one has to have them pressed on and off by a shop on this Saturn car !
Yes I have the new bearings.
Keeping the cost low I did not go the route of new hub and bearing just bearings. .
I have searched this site and have not seen anything pertaining to my questions.

Well if that's the chatter your hearing or reading.

No clue if do it yourself bearing kit will work. You're eating into your cost savings if you buy one -- and you're no further along if it doesn't work.

My personal opinion seeing that you already bought the bearing is to pull the hub and pay someone to unpress/press and be done with it. I know you are trying to keep costs down but time is money and the money you save pulling the hub yourself justifies (to me anyway) paying for a bearing pressing by someone with the right equipment.

Just my opinion.

Any one know the torque setting on these bearing? Or where I can find it?

Should be in any decent haynes or similar manual.

Also, I think a few forum members haw access to alldata---maybe they can look it up for you.

Found this on the net for 2001 L300:

I bear NO responsibility for its accuracy or lack thereof

_________

Axle nut sequence.
1) tighten to 100 ft lbs.
2) Loosen nut until it can be turned by hand.
3) Tighten to 15 ft lbs.
4) Tighten an additional 90 degrees

The first (tight) torque is to seat the bearings, despite the resistance of the lubricants. The 15 ft-lbs is to get a snug fit, then 90 degrees more to keep everything from rattling around.

,and I don't look up crap for people when they could do it all on their own. Yet to see an introdution or signature. Guess that mean's he does not want to be a member of this site.
