I am currently trying to replace the wheel bearing on my 07 Aveo. I have the axle nut removed as well as the caliper and can disengage the control arm and Tie rod when I need to, however I am having difficulty removing the Hub and rotor to gain access to the wheel bearing. How do I do this? I have also stripped one of the screws on the rotor.
My question is, do I need to remove the rotor in order to take the Hub off? Also, am I missing any steps to do this repair properly?
Thank you
i havnt had the hub of my aveo yet but heres a video should be same procedure,you need to mak sure you have found all 3 bolts that hold it in place.How To Install Replace Front Wheel Hub Bearing GM Front Wheel Drive PART 1 1AAuto.com - YouTube good luck

drill out the tripped screw, the rotor will come off. you need the axle out of the hub to get to the bearing.
the hub does not have the 3 bolt gm design, it is strictly pressed bearings and a c clip.
get the spindle off, then take out the bearings.
Tried everything, drilled out the screws and nothing the rotor is still attached and i cannot get to the wheel bearing.
I cant remove the brake rotor at all from the assembly, and therefore cannot get to the assembly
Ok finally removed the rotor! But it appears that the hub assembly is pressed onto the spindle arm, rented a hub puller to remove hopefully this works, if anyone else has suggestions please let me know!!
