jfg22557 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I get mine from FredBeans, $160 shipped for the assembly and axle nut. They've always done right by me for all my OEM parts. May just be a thing with the local dealers in my area, but they're always a fair amount more for just about everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 For OEM parts, I mention to the parts manager that I was planning to get it for $xxx.xx from an online source (and have printed proof with me), but I'd rather do business local. Each time they've matched or undercut the online price. Typically end-up paying less than online+shipping, even with taxes (unless high-dollar item), then on-line, with no taxes and shipping, is likely the best deal. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sideways the Seven Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Done! Whole process took about 2 hours, including replacing the axle seal. Didn't need a slide hammer or hub puller -Brandon 2007 Chevrolet Suburban LT3 1981 Chevrolet C10 LWB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhawk222 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Any tips on getting the axle seal out fellas???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideways the Seven Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Yep, just replied to the PM, but I used a hook pick and went around the inside edge of the seal where it meets the diff. I was able to get it out without damaging it at all. Apparently, I pushed it in too far the first time and it didn't seal properly Sent from my SGH-T699 using Tapatalk 2 -Brandon 2007 Chevrolet Suburban LT3 1981 Chevrolet C10 LWB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhawk222 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 All done....so far no leaks, noises or any other unwanted problems. Discovered the problem was a bad driver side axle. I'll update in a few days after some miles are driven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maniaxzero Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 is it ok to re-use old axle nut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated bucko3the7man Posted October 16, 2013 I Donated Share Posted October 16, 2013 No. Get a new one, the threads are messed up on the old one because it is bent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideways the Seven Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 +1. I reused my 2nd one because it was a day old, but I'd recommend replacing it.

Sideways the Seven Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Makes sense, and for $7, why not? I plan on replacing mine once I figure out whether or not I'm going to rebuild, I was just eager to get everything back together. -Brandon 2007 Chevrolet Suburban LT3 1981 Chevrolet C10 LWB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maniaxzero Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Thanks for the insight. Went to dealer to pick up axle nut. Not many dealers have it in stock. Got my driver's side wheel bearing done today. Couldnt break axle nut loose with a breaker bar and 3 ft extension from my jack handle. Ended up going to harbor freight to buy the 32mm impact socket and zipped it right off. As for the rotor, took quite a few bangs with my 4LB hammer I bought from harbor freight and it came right off. As for the 4 14mm wheel hub bolts, they're pain in the ass. Wasnt hard to break open with breaker bar but because of rust it took forever to back out the bolts, luckily i found a way to sneak my impact gun in there and cut down the labor and time tremendously. Then separating the wheelbearing/hub from the steering knuckle wasnt too bad. The 4LB hammer really came in handy but I wanted to try out the $9.99 air hammer I picked up from harbor freight, that made the job even easier. Long story short, PB Blaster, air tools and big hammer really saved the day. Otherwise, god knows how long it would've taken me. The humming noise was reduced but i still hear it, I guess I have to tackle the passenger side next week when the bearing comes in the mail.

I Donated bucko3the7man Posted October 19, 2013 I Donated Share Posted October 19, 2013 You might have a rear that's bad. There was a service bulletin on the rear wheel bearings for these cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maniaxzero Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 You might have a rear that's bad. There was a service bulletin on the rear wheel bearings for these cars Thanks for the suggestion but I already had both rear bearings replaced at the subaru dealer last year. Took advantage of the 8 years/100k miles warranty extension they had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maniaxzero Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Tried to do the passenger side bearing yesterday and snapped the bottom caliper bracket bolt in half =( http://i.imgur.com/vUDUJ7r.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/6j6WHkG.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05LGTLtd Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 ^That sucks. I changed my right side half shaft and front wheel hub this weekend. Car feels/sounds much better now. I suspected the bearing but couldn't tell for sure until I pulled the axle and brake caliper and turned it. Slight scraping noise, so ordered a new bearing. Ball joint was a b!tch, but other than that pretty straight forward. All I need now is a hill holder and a center passing light... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
