well i have a 2007 hhr ls and i have about 70000 miles on it and i need to replace a wheel bearing on the drivers side ,so my question is ,is it pressed on the spindle or has a castle nut with a cotter pin ? i know the wheel bearing is a sealed case thanks ...

 

I don't think you can get just the wheel bearing you have to replace the whole wheel hub assembly.

 

I just had my Drivers Side Hub Assembly replaced this morning, it was covered under the 100k mile drive train warranty
My 2007 has 47500 miles on it. Yours should be covered.

 

I think you have to remove the entire steering knuckle and use a large hydraulic press to get the bearing out.

 

That is good to know, thanks for the info.

 

The hub assembly is not pressed on. There is another hhr forum that shows pictures of the hub being replacement and looks very easy to do.
While the wheel is on ground, loosen the large nut on the axle, Then jack it up, remove the caliber and rotor, unhook the ABS connector if you have it, remove the axle nut all the way and then the 3 bolts that hold the hub assembly, tap the hub assy with a hammer until it slides out and the install the new one.

 

thanks for everones input but if it cover by the dealer then i would save some bucks thanks again..

 

Gotta luv some warranty.....

 

Well, I have a 2006 and it seems that they purposely shortened the warranty!!Every problem I've had with "Betsy" has been out of pocket. About 2 months ago I replaced the shifter, now it's the Hub Assembly. Atleast that is what I'm thinking from the information I have read.

 

Yeah, the newer versions have a lot more warranty on them. I had to do the passenger side bearing assembly. GM wanted nearly 500CDN for it here, so I got it from the US for 140CDN.
