Front wheel bearing hub assembly replacement, it was rusted to drive shaft, used heat, hammer and gear puller to remove. Reassembled, car want move in any gear. Would this be,a drive shaft assembly or transmission problem? Any suggestions on places to start? Thanks, hhr ss kazoo 5spd.

 

I've moved your post to it's own thread, kazoo, hopefully you'll get more attention here.

You replaced 1 hub(which side?)? Do you have LSD(limited slip differential, G85 code)? Might be relevant info.

 

I suggest tracking your steps back , could it be a bolt too long?
Could it be a brake rotor, you know how some use a screw driver to hold the rotor whilst they torque the axle nut.
Just suggestions, without seeing the car

 

Can you push the car in neutral? What is happening when you hit the gas? Since it's a stick is it just revving or stalling when you let the clutch out?

Give us all the info you have.

 

Done that!!!!!

 

Me too! Let them learn from my mistakes!

 

So just for my own info, would proper procedure be to torque the axle nut wither with the wheel on the ground or at least have the opposite wheel on the ground? Ive never had to replace a Hub/Axle.... Yet

 

Tire on the ground is best, but some use the screwdriver in the rotor trick

 

My book says the screwdriver/drift is correct. I've done it both ways, don't have a preference.

 

I prefer this.
