Post How disassembly bearing at fr. wheel hub
I searched here and no one here write-up disassembly and assembly on the bearing at front wheel hubs of 2001 Camaro.


Do I need special tool to remove that?


What kind of tool it could remove that out?

You cant rebuild them, you need to replace it.

yup they are a sealed unit, replace only when they are worn out.
There is a guy on frrax that is selling a few rebuildable units but they are pricey.

Get a bearing press and destroy them, you'll find out why they're not rebuildable.
And if you did get it apart, where would you get the bearings?

lol, why do you think they BOLT on, they were designed as a replaceable unit, because too many dopey mechanics or diy'rs did not know how to correctly install wheel bearings and there were lots of failures...
