Need help...C4 rear hub replacement
Hello All,
After learning the Chevy dealership wanted to charge me over $1500 to replace rear hub bearings/ parts included I figured this is one of those " what one man can do so can another" jobs. Basically I am going to watch all the you tube videos and read my manual. But first I want to ask you all a few things.
What is torque setting on hub but 164 or 200 lbs. I am hearing and reading conflicting reports?
Should pack or just slightly lube hub/spindle cavity with high temp grease before installing new hub?
I am going to purchase thru Rock Auto..looking to pay 50 each hub..are there any recommendations or stay away from?
Last of all..I am not a pro mechnic but capable..are there any tips to make it a quick and painless job?
Any info is greatly appreciated!
