Garrett8 Posted October 23, 2006 Report Posted October 23, 2006 i think i have a hub assemply on my 92 z34 going out, how hard are they to change or would i be better off going and having a shop do it? Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted October 23, 2006 Report Posted October 23, 2006 The rear hubs are very easy. Its just 4 bolts. The fronts arnt too awful bad. I would think youd be able to do this yourself. Quote
5speedz34 Posted October 23, 2006 Report Posted October 23, 2006 They aren't hard. The hardest part of the front is getting the CV shaft and balljoint disconnected. Quote
Garrett8 Posted October 23, 2006 Author Report Posted October 23, 2006 good to know, im taking it to a shop tomorrow so they can tell me what is wrong then i shall do it myself, i love working at an autoparts store though, all my parts are cheap lol Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted October 23, 2006 Report Posted October 23, 2006 haha yeah I hear that! NAPA saved me about $80 on the strut tools I bought. Quote
Robby1870 Posted October 23, 2006 Report Posted October 23, 2006 I always hate getting at the bolts on the front hubs. Always lots of dirt and they just arent really in a good spot. Quote
jdcutty Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 I dont know what you guys are talkin about. I had mine out and in in 45 minutes. It may have helped that the old one came out in two pieces though. Quote
intern8tion9l Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 i also got mine swapped quite quickly. you're gunna need some leverage to get the axle nut off the front though Quote

patgizz Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 tony, it's absolutely unnecessary to remove the balljoint or CV. all you do is remove the spindle nut and then the 4 bolts from behind that go into the hub from the knuckle. then pop the hub out while tapping the spindle in with a wood block. then lube up the splines with anti-sieze, and slide the new hub on and you're done.

My grand prix had the hub come out kinda easy I did one on the regal bout a month ago, only thing I can add to pats post is powerwash the back of the knuckle w/ a good degreaser first, then PB blast the bolts and let that soak for a little bit.
