Replacing a wheel bearing on a Chevrolet Aveo

Some motorists are faced with the fact that a rumble appears in the front and the Chevrolet Aveo steering wheel is uneven. To do this, it is necessary to diagnose the wheel bearings, which could wear out and become unusable. If the wheel bearing fails, there will be play in the upper wheels, which, as a result, can lead to uneven wear of the tires of the car.

Replacement process

Before proceeding directly to replacing the wheel bearing on a Chevrolet Aveo car, you need to stock up on certain tools. And so the following tools will be needed: a hammer, a set of wrenches, a large powerful head for 34, needle-nosed pliers, a mallet, a handle and a vise. When all this is available, you can proceed directly to the process of replacing the wheel bearing:

Of course, to replace the wheel bearing yourself, you will need a pit or overpass, since the car will need to be jacked up, and access from below is desirable.

We remove the cap from the car, and we disassemble the wheel itself directly. Before doing this, do not forget to jack up the car and place wedges under the rear wheels.

It should be understood that this operation is usually carried out with a press if the repair is carried out in a car service. If there is a press in the garage, then it is better to remove the bearing cage along with it, but if there is no press, then we clamp the hub in a vice and, using a specially prepared cage, remove it from the seat. It should be understood that the operation must be carried out carefully so as not to damage the hub.
