06 vibe rear hubs

Post by dpetepiece »

I think I need to replace at least one rear hub on my 2wd 2006 Vibe with antilock brakes.
Besides buying the hub assembly and removing the rear brake drum and shoes is there any other cautions I should be aware of?

The only thing I could think of is that it may be a good idea to do both rear hubs and to make sure you buy the approrate hub/hubs with abs sensor. Im sure more people will chime in on this. :D

removing a hub sounds kind of hard. Personally, that may be a thing I'd have a mechanic do but, if you can do it goodluck with that.

depending on the type of roads you drive on; i would diagnose which bearing is failing and replace only that bearing.
