replace wheel bearing 2000 silverado 2500 4x4 6.0

[Buckmark]

Like woodchuck said it will come with new studs.
Complete hub unit, it will have new studs, abs sensor and harness already installed so just unplug and plug in there.
No pressing required but the old unit might be a little stubborn to get off, a little muscle/persuasion might be needed
Hub to knuckle bolts 133ftlbs
Axle nut 177ftlbs
Caliper pin bolts 80ftlbs.
Defiantly buy a good unit, GM, or the Moog ones are pretty good.
I have not seen any of the good quality ones with a lifetime warranty like jackelope mentioned but he may know something i don't (usually the cheapy ones boost the lifetime warranty).
Not super hard job to do at home

When they go bad, you'll know it. Humming type noise, it will get louder when you turn one way or the other with the weight of the truck shifting. I wouldn't bother replacing them if they're not making noise unless it happens to be apart for something else...you never know what you're going to get. The aftermarket ones are just as bad or worse than the GM ones.

That was how it worked for me .....

I can't confirm or deny...my buddy was a Chevy dealer service advisor. He told me if I bought my hubs from GM dealer, they'd have a lifetime warranty on them. I never tried to buy them.

Nope, you get new wheel studs with a new hub unit, rotor slips on and off.
