It depends on the hourly rate. It may take them around 1 1/2 hours/side.
How much does it cost for someone at a shop to replace it?
It should as long as it has enough torque.
would a cordless impact wrench remove the nut
On the 2003 durango it has 14mm on the back of the wheel bearing and has a 34mm axle nut.
It may depend on the year of the vehicle.
dose all the models have them… i dont seem to find them. i found the one on the back in the deferential but i dont seem to find the ones in the front.
The plugs should be on the backside of the hub for them to plug into.
where are the abs sensor located on a 2002 dodge dakota 4.7 2wd? im looking every were and i dont seem to find it on my truck…
Thank you for checking out our auto repair channel on YouTube.
Excellent video!
My driver side hub needs to be replaced but i’ll probably to the passenger side too, I know where i’ll be getting them from!
It should be the same size as the one shown in our video. Sometimes manufacturers do change the size of the bolt used between model years. We try to provide as much accurate (tool size) information as possible. Thank you for checking out our auto repair videos. Have a great day!
That should be fine as long as there isn’t a whole lot of force used on the pry bar. You may also want to check your ball joints to see if they are okay. Hope this helps you out.
Will it wreck your studs if you use the pry bar as a way to keep the axle from spinning while loosening or tightening the bolts? I have a 1991 Plymouth Laser and it makes a knocking noise only when i turn my wheel all the way to the right, as soon as i depress the clutch it stops. Not exactly sure if its the wheel hub bearing or not? please help, thank you!
Great video! I have a ’98 Dakota up in the air right now and the 32mm socket does not seem to fit. Too small…nut is in good shape, not rounded, so the 32mm socket 9 for my 1998 Dodge Dakota SLT) should fit …but it doesn’t… Is this normal? I’ll logic it up to 34mm and let you know if that works, because if its a 34mm socket, 1AAutoparts might want to review the “Tools needed” page. Or I got a real strange front end. Thanks, You guys are very good and I appreciate the video! keep it up.
Thank you for checking us out Jimmy. Have a great weekend!
@1aauto….THANKS for your help….I have 4 wheel disc brakes, just called the local Dodge dealership where the truck was purchased & provided them with the last 8 of the VIN just to confirm……I JUST ORDERED THE HUBS from your website….107.95….WOW…..THANK YOU!!!!! ~ Jimmy
If you remove the rear wheel off of the vehicle, you should be able to see if it has rear disks or drum brakes. Usually you can even see them through the spokes or holes in the wheel.
@1aauto….WOW, just briefly looked up my part on your website….AWESOME PRICES!!! How can I determine if I have 4 wheel disc brakes? I don’t see any wires to ANY of the brake calipers….FRONT or REAR….but it does have ABS. Also with my noise I have had my brake light AND abs light come on twice, does that help pin point any problems??? THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your help!!! I will be ordering parts from you when I can determine what is needed. TAKE CARE
If the front makes kind of a roaring noise above 30 MPH It might be the hub. The tolerances on some of these new hubs are so tight, that you can’t always see if there’s play by moving the tire back and forth. This same thing happened on my 04 Grand Cherokee. Once I actually took the hub off I was able to move it with my hand. Hope this helps you out. We sell hubs on our website 1aauto,com If that ends up being the issue.
Ok….THANKS for monitoring your video and replying so promptly to all the questions!! THANKS for your advice and expertise. Could it be the axle? Do I have to remove the axle on the Dakota Quad Cab or does the hub just slide off? THANKS A BUNCH!!!! Jimmy
It may be the hub, or you may also want to take a look at the suspension pieces to see if anything is broke or worn out.
Oh yea….the reason I know something is going bad: I can also hear the rumbling noise going back a dirt road, however that blacktop produces a louder rumble, is this something to be concerned about? I have 4 wheel disc brakes. I have felt the rim and backside area from the side that appears to be making the noise and it isn’t even Warm after driving down the highway around 50 mph
GREAT! Sometimes these things can be a bit stubborn. Glad to hear you made out OK. Have a great day.
YES I DID IT..Thank You for yall’s help and the Video is really good,I ended up taking the knuckle all the way out and put the 3 bolts back in and tighten them down and then back them out about 2-3 turns I put a small metal plate 1/4″thick over all the bolt heads, and put face down on table and a few good slugs with the mini sledge, It came right off…
The truck has been in the north allot from NY to Alaska,the only thing holding it was rust and lots of it.
Thanks for your help & Vid
