For the shade tree mechanics like me:
I had to buy a very short 15mm socket to get a socket on the 15s, and the only one that was short enough was 3/8 drive & with that a 3inch 3/8 wobble extension. A 15mm box wrench would not give me enough leverage to break the 15s free. In particular the top 15m, m bolt was the worst to get a socket on. Also moving the steering wheel from one side to the other depending on which bolt i was working with helped a lot. I also considered cutting off the bottom of the bolt that interfered with loosening the top bolt, I didn't do that but it would've made it a lot easier.
This video was very helpful, but not everyone has kick ass tools like the guy in the video.

Nice instructions, saved me a visit to the auto mechanic.

Damn bro, this really helped me a lot.
I'm still working on knocking out the hub right now. I'm working on this just outside my house in my parking lot. Jack stands breaker bar and other basic tools.
Is there another way to get the hub off is all I have is a regular hammer. I dont have a 5lb. Hammer with me.

0:16 Is log nuts 22mm as you say or 21mm? On mine (GMC Yukon Denali XL) 22mm is loose and a bit large, and 21mm looks just the fit.
0:25 Cliper's bolts are13mm not T type and the pad holder ( 1:31) is 18mm

How long did it take to do all that...?

[joserodolforizo]

How much should I pay for this job, only one side ? Please

[stevencovington]

What noises will let me know the hub needs replacing? I hear a slight howl from the front drivers side.

[commanderhare]

how long does it take to do with basic tools?

[trapboyjack]

Is there any difference between this or a 2 wheel drive Yukon?

[martinhavrilak]

You did everything correct except you did not Loosen the bleeder on the caliper. You forced all that nasty Rusty brake fluid Into the Proportion valve As well as into The traction control And the anti lock system . I understand that bleeders break, But he really should have talked him into new calipers.

[kyleblanco]

How do you get the hub to lock so I can break loose the 36mm nut off

[leongallegos]

My torque wrench only goes up to 150 pounds how do I know it at 177 lbs. I just have to buy a new wrench?

[williamzavodney]

why would not he have put some silicone lube on the slider bolts ?

[Fuknorthcarolina]

What's the axle nut torque specs?
