Greetings Mark!



 RW>> I don't know if you're aware, but Chevy started to use sealed

 RW>> set of bearings, you replace the entire spindle. It's a bolt on

 MH> Yes, the wheel bearings on both my Monte Carlo and Durango are all
 MH> one sealed unit.  The main difference being that the Monte Carlo
 MH> front and rear bearings have speed sensors in them for the ABS
 MH> system.

As does my Silverado.

That's odd. The Silverado has removable speed sensors. Of course, you have
to remove the rotors and caliper to get to them.

 MH> My most recent repair was replacing the tires on the Harley.  A
 MH> friend of mine brought over his bike jack and showed me how to remove
 MH> the wheels - which included having to remove the muffler.

That's always a joy to do. Mine would require the same removal.

 MH> I got had ordered new tires, got them mounted and balanced at the
 MH> local Harley shop and then last week, but the new ones back on the
 MH> bike.  Not a super easy task, espcially when working alone on the
 MH> rear tire.

I'd have the bike shop do all of the work. I'll just ride it, thank you
very much.


    Have a day!
