Unless you've replaced a wheel hub bearing yourself, chances are you've never actually seen one. The wheel hub bearing is buried deep inside the wheel assembly of your Silverado, and it plays a big role in safety, but primarily handling and road-worthiness. Bearings allow other parts spin or rotate freely, so enduring large amounts of friction and heat is part of their job. But even parts designed for this kind of job eventually wear out. Keep in mind that in the Silverado, the bearing is sealed in the spindle assembly, and the whole part may be replaced. Once the lubricant wears out due to mileage or abuse, they can start grinding and vibrating.

Single-row deep groove ball bearings are the most common type of rolling bearings. These shielded (2Z or ZZ) bearings from NSK are fitted with two metal dust shields to prevent the ingress of dirt and foreign matter into the bearing housing. NSK’s range of bearings are available in a variety of metric sizes with varying inside and outside diameters to ensure the perfect fit. Found in a wide range of applications in many industries, NSK’s bearings are ideal for machinery in printing, medical, manufacturing and agricultural as well as applications such as wind turbines for renewable energy collection.

The hub is the piece to which the caliper was attached to and which has the main lugs where the wheel is mounted. The hub is held in place by three 15mm bolts; use the 15mm socket and ratchet to remove these. You will most likely need the breaker bar at this point as well. Once the three bolts are removed, unclip the ABS wiring sensor, and you can now pull off the hub assembly.
