We have had my wife's '04 Avalanche 1500 for quite a few years, heard a noise which sounds like the front wheel bearings, was not sure so I did not investigate so I could see what happens? Thought it might be the front brake pads, but have changed the rotors/pads twice and that did not change the sound. Also, when I am braking the noise stays the same, so I would venture to say that the noise is not associated with the brakes. The noise is not loud, had to point it out to my wife, but being mechanical I do hear it.
Before I jump into it, I am looking to see what it takes to pull the front hubs wondering if buying new hubs is feasible/cost effective or if I should just look into replacing the front wheel bearings? Never done a 4 wheel drive before, done many rear wheel drive just having to pull the rotor off, replace the wheel bearings/seals, cheap job that way and it takes about 2 hours.
I am looking for either a written procedure or a good video on pulling the front hubs, either replacing them of just doing the front wheel bearings?
