To remove the front suspension on all models except 2010 and later models with RPO GNB, first loose the driveaxle/hub nut as well as the wheel lug nuts, afterwards lift up the car at its front until it is supported by jackstands. Remove the wheel and, if equipped, disconnect and detach ABS wheel-speed sensor electrical connector. Remove driveaxle/hub nut and brake caliper, caliper mounting bracket, and brake disc from hub. Next take off the hub/bearing assembly mounting bolts from behind steering knuckle throw them away. If necessary use a puller to draw hub and bearing assembly off in case driveaxle splines stick in hub. For installation see to it that both inner mount surface of steering knuckle and driveaxle splines are smooth without burrs or nicks here apply multi-purpose grease on driveshaft axles then push the bearing assembly down fully along into steering knuckle up to when you feel it seating properly after what tighten new set of these ones securing this assembly to steering knuckle by specified torque values. Connect wheel speed sensor harness connector where applicable fasten it at its bracket then insert but do not completely tighten drive shaft axle nut now add brake rotor caliper support bracket or even caliper making sure fasteners meet torque specifications provided herein above again bolt on wheel as well as lug nuts lower vehicle taking out jack stands finally make sure that you tighten properly rear end axle nut together with tire fastening bolts onto recommended torque values for 2010 and later models having RPO GNB front suspensions follow identical initial action items such as loosening drive shaft axle nut plus lug nuts supporting automobile using jackstands only lift these jack stands by jacking beam without resting your vehicle's beams onto them remove tyre before pulling out front suspension yoke itself coupled with steering knuckle from their places here unscrew ahead primarily used to keep wheels turning out further thus attaching those onto knuckle fasten with new ones tightening these by given torque specs hence insert steering yoke as well as front link into their actual position.
