Review on πŸ”§ Asm Hub Wheel by Kyle Hoes

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Looks like a good product so far

Cannot say more about the product than what other reviews have said. Tip: If you don't have the special tools needed for this project, you should check with your local auto parts store to see if they rent them. You'll need a 36mm socket, a pick (for removing the axle nut), a 173lb-ft torque wrench and a hub puller if you want to make things a little easier. I'd also recommend getting a PB Blaster if you don't have one - the three screws holding the assembly together are difficult to loosen. It would be nice to use a breaker for them as well. I can't comment on other cars, but on my 2000 Alero I was able to get the job done without a hub puller. The trick is to thread the old axle nut onto the end of the axle (NOT all the way) and tap it with a hammer. This should push the axle inward and dislodge it from the hub assembly. This should also give you some extra clearance to get to the three bolts behind the hub assembly. Attempting to easily remove the assembly without first moving the axle or without using a hub puller could damage the CV joint.
