Default 1995 vette Front wheel hub replacing

Hello guys

I don't know if already there's a thread about this, but today i've replaced front hubs so i thought to share with you my work

Work is pretty symple need j
ust 21mm socket for caliper bolts,
15mm socket and 15mm box end wrench for hub bolts,
Torque whrench
Ratchet whrench
Some degreaser, (white spirit, nitro thin er or acetone)

The most of time i've lost was been to knuckle and alu parts very very dirt.

So ok this is what you will find, once you get out tire and put car on floor jack and jack stand, remove two caliper 21mm bolts and rotor...

At this point we have need to remove hub. Hub held in by four 15mm bolts (15mm is not properly the perfect size i think a fractional whrench would be better than 15mm should be 13/16 anyway 15mm worked too)

Before unscrew bolts, remove abs sensor bracket is required, 15mm here too. Disconnect abs connector and put it out of the way

15mm Box-end whrench inner side of the hub, and 15 socket throught hub hole, is the right way i think

This pic is already new hub on.... Anyway is possible to put racket with socket even in different ways...

There are three holes on hub.. The bigger one is to get out bolts, and to insert in socket
