2009 Buick Lucerne Wheel Bearing Parts and Q&A

• Q: How to replace the front wheel bearing and hub on 2009 Buick Lucerne?

  A: Your first step for hub bearing replacement includes lifting the vehicle for support while removing the tire and wheel. Use a screwdriver or drift punch to clean dirt off the drive axle threads before inserting it into the caliper and rotor space to stop their movement. Disconnect the abs system wheel speed sensor first and loosen the drive axle nut with the brake rotor. Then detach the gear from the dust shield and disconnect its electrical connector. Take off Wheel Bearing/hub retaining bolts with this detail that hub and bearing must be replaced together. Afterward unfasten Wheel Bearing/hub from Steering Knuckle including dust shield. Apply j 28733-b tool to split hub and bearing from drive axle while removing all rust and foreign elements from knuckle mounting face and space before fitting the bearing. Rephrase: clear off the protective plastic material carefully from all parts but keep the abs sensor wire away from contact with the knuckle or hub assembly. Place the dust shield correctly and gently to prevent damage to the bearing lip seal and bolted areas on the knuckle before applying a thin layer of grease to the Steering Knuckle opening. Put the Wheel Bearing/hub unit with dust shield onto the Steering Knuckle and secure it using bolts at 130 nm (96 lb ft). Install the new axle nut first to install the Wheel Bearing assembly before you attach the ABS Wheel Speed Sensor Connector and secure it to the dust shield. Position the brake rotor before using a drift punch to stop it from spinning. Then secure the drive axle nut at 160 nm (118 lb ft). Put on the tire after lowering the vehicle.
