Hub Assemble Replacement

RE: Hub Assemble Replacement
Blazer repair school. Thanks for the compliment.
The anti-sieze is a good idea, and I totally forgot about it. Anti-siezewhere the cv axles splines slide into the hub assemble, and put anti-sieze onthe hub assemble bolts (3), and the lug studs (5).
I also like the idea of greasing up the rubber o-ring.
One other thing is die-electric grease on the ABS sensor harness.
Excellent tips guys.
I don't see anything wrong with sticking the whole thread in DIY, or just the first one with a link to this thread for the tips recommended and any Q&A. Swart, I leave it in your hands. What ever you think is best. Let me know if I need to modify anything. Or copy and paste as you see fit.
I think my next one will be on how I flushed my coolant system. Did that on Sunday during half time. Or should I do it on replacing aheadlight bulb?One of mine burnt out last night.
Edit: I went back and added the tips to the original post.

Can't tell you how helpful this was. Got the job done in under three hours and I'm not a mechanic in no way. I'm a computer programmer... don't know a thing in the world about vehicles. The post was great.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I have been so busy lately it isn't even funny. I have had the whole week between Christmas and New Years off work, but I haven't stopped working on my house at any one point. To make matters worse, I have a ton of stuff to finish up before I go back to work tomorrow and I picked up some kind of stomach bug that started causing all sorts of issues Saturday and still lingers... Fun fun! LOL Oh well, I'll survive.

Sorry to see that the Flu bug is catching up to you. I understand being over loaded. It's no fun.
DOH, dont remind me of house work. I have a load of Renovations still left to do on mine. And that does not include the Holliday clean up SHHEEESH I even have crap from the neighbors party all over my yard.

RE: Hub Assemble Replacement
Does anyone know of a goodauto parts storein Ontario, Canada where they sell the hub replacement assembly like the model shown for this thread? I would like to go with that Timken unit but I'm unsure if there's an Autozone around. Near me is a Canadian Tire and Car Quest and I don't want to buy one from a dealership because I'm sure they are around 300-400 dollars. Any info appreciated on price and location.

RE: Hub Assemble Replacement
On the Auto Zone website, they say that Canadian customers can call 800-288-6966 to place an order.
It may be worth calling to see how bad the shipping cost would be.
I just replaced both of mine with new Timkens from auto zone, and they were a little different than the ones in this post. The 96 model has a different ABS design, so a new sensor is not included. I am guessing that is why they were cheaper... $134 each.

Call CarQuest too. TIMKEN is the manufacture and they have more then one distriburtor. I got mine from a midwest chain called Blain's Farm & Fleet. Its a farmers type store. They sell clothes, shoes, toys, housewares, autoparts, farm supplies like fencing, live stock feed, live chicks, guns & ammo, fishing stuff, bikes, trailers, sheds,parts for tractors, car stereos, tires, welders, tools, etc.
