befor i change or boltedm wanting to know if they are pressed inHow to change wheel bearings on chevy 1500 2004?
Nick, the wheel bearings on your Chevy truck are not serviceable. They are part of the hub assembly. I am sure someone, somewhere does sale the bearing alone. But most parts houses include it as part of the hub kit. It comes as an assembly which includes the hub, wheel studs and anti lock brake sensor.
Replacing it is actually easy. You raise the vehicle and support it with jack stands. Remove the tire. Remove the brake caliper and retainer and support it so the weight isn't on the brake hose. If it is 4 wheel drive you need to remove the nut from the axle. Unplug the anti lock wheel speed sensor. Then on the back of the steering knuckle remove the 3 bolts holding on the hub. They will be extremely tight all the way out because they have thread locking compound.
Before installing the new one, clean the entire mounting area on the steering knuckle with a wire brush so the new one mounts flat. Use thread locking compound on the bolts. It may come with new bolts.
