I am changing wheel bearing on 2005 Impala. Stuck on getting cv joint clamp off. Any suggestions?

Ok, first of all, why are you taking the CV joint clamp off? You don%26#039;t have to touch it to remove a bearing.





Normal way to remove a wheel bearing on the front of a GM car:





Remove tire


Remove caliper and bracket


Hang caliper and bracket from something other than the brake hose


Remove the rotor


Remove the axle nut


Disconnect ABS connector


Remove 3 bolts holding wheel bearing to spindle


Remove bearing assy





Install new bearing assy


Install 3 bolts and tighten evenly


Install axle nut and torque to spec (usually 160 ft/lbs)


Connect ABS connector


Install rotor


Install brake caliper and bracket


Install wheel and torque bolts to 100 ft/lbs


Test drive|||Use some diagonals and cut it.|||you have to cut it,go to the parts store and get a new zip-lock clamp,its real simple to use,good luck
