Hey guys,
Been a while since I've reached out but I lost my '04 TB LS in a bad accident. Loved that truck, put lots of money into her. Well, I recently purchased another one, an '03 TB LTZ, it is nice with a few extra amenities but wow she needs her factory suspension parts, wheel hubs, and u-joint replaced and the muffler pipe is rattling every time I put her in reverse from a loose or failing mount fastener. People ask why I bought her with all those problems, my answer is simple: once I finish replacing all her parts myself, no one will appreciate that truck more than I will. So anyway here's my question. Is the procedure for replacing the rear wheel hubs the same as replacing the fronts? I look for videos and all I keep finding are videos on replacing the axle bearing rings (a helluva project, btw). I plan to replace all 4 hubs together. I'd replaced the front wheel bearing assembly on my old truck so I pretty much remember all the steps to that, I just want to know if it's the same in doing the rears. Thanks guys and happy holidays.
