Mr.
It seems like you do quite a bit with GM vehicles. This Buick's design is very similar, if not exactly, like my 2008 Impala. Do you have a video doing a complete parking/E brake repair on these types of vehicles?
Edit: Actually, after watching the video, where was the parking brake? Usually, the parking brake shoe sits inside the rear rotor.

Ugh, antiseize. I just helped my friend buy a used car, we put it on a lift to look it over, rear brakes were done recently, but they used antiseize on EVERYTHING. Slide pins? Check. Hardware? Check. It was so much of it, some started touching the rotor. Entire rear brake assembly looked like Tin Man got nasty with it.

At the 3: 50 - 4: 00 mark. One of the bolt heads snapped off on my SS Impala. Will a regular bolt extractor do the job being that it has to go through the whole in the hub (concerned it might not fit for extraction bit? If not how else can I get this assembly off with a broken bolt. Thanks!

Just wanted to post to possibly save others time, aggravation, and money. I made a mistake and went to the salvage yard for these hubs. They gave me the whole spindle assembly. Next to impossible to get these hubs out. Used a slide hammer, but no luck. Just buy yourself some new ones.

Hey dude, you should do a traveling road show like This Old House does. You could start by coming to Massachusetts and replacing the rear wheel bearings in my Silverado. I can't pay you much but there's a good ice cream place near me. You can have two scoops if you do both sides.

Thanks so much for this video. Being from upstate NY the videos I watched on how to replace a rear hub all showed the hub coming out no problem. Your trick to hammer it till it spins did the trick on my rear 2014 upstate impala limited. I would have been stuck without this video.

can't believe i thought i could do this in my driveway with a slide hammer. broke the hub in half and the shit is just welded to the knuckle. been smashing it for two days. guess it's time for a compressor and pissed off neighbors.

Eric, i know this R&R of rear wheel bearing hub was from a while ago
but i wonder did you torq the mounting hub bearing bolts to spec? i may have missed that?
maybe your impact drive has an adjustable torq range?

After watching many of your videos I know one thing for absolute certain. I am sure glad I live in Texas where corrosion isn't a problem like it is up North, screw salted roads every damn year.

I use Anti Seize on everything I put together and take apart unless I need thread locker where only required, Grease the hell out of anything and everything I can to keep the rusties away
