Wheel Bearings- 07 chev 1/2 ton?

[Jinx]

Hey guys,
How bad are doing the front wheel bearings on 2007 1/2 ton Suburban?

Any specialty tools?

Does it make sense to do both sides at the same time?

Looks like I need to do one...

Thanks in advance,

Piece of cake. You will need a socket large enough for the axle nut. 35 or 36mm. Not really any need to do them both unless you have a decent amount of miles on it. Then do them both and be done with it. Buy quality bearings. Timken is OE for GM

Perfect. Thank you!

autozone have a loaner socket?

I'm in Taylorsville if you want to borrow my 36mm socket you can

Check your PMs.

You might also need a torx bit for the caliper bolts. Probably t50 or t55

It is always good to finally meet the other fellas addicted to RME. Let me know how it goes and if you need anything else

Easy job.

Definitely needed a breaker bar,

probably an hour and half start to finish and that was never playing with one before. Next time probably half that.
