oh sorry it is plymouth lol

well im pretty sure this is the problem the van has 188,000 miles on it and it makes a humming noise but when the wheel is turned to the left it doent make any noise.

Answer 1

Pontiac makes a minivan?

ADDED:
It's a complete hub assembly. +/- $80.00 each.
and just unbolts from the rear axle.

ADDED:
Rear drum.
Remove the wheel.
Remove the brake drum.
Remove the bolts from the BACK side of the axle.
It may be a pain in the @$$ to slide out as it probably rusted it's self in the axle tube.

Then reverse the procedure.

Answer 2

pontiac doesn't and never will make a voyager get the right van and e mail me. well put the van on jacks never seen a rear wheel bearing go out but i guess it is possible put in gear see if you can duplicate noise otherwise it a hit or miss noise does travel front remove tire unbolt 2 bolts that hold caliper on support caliper with coat hanger or bungy cord remove rotor take 3 bolts out hammer out if reat just onbolt wheel bearing be sure to use bigger hole to remove bolts and on front you will need to remove axle nuts

Answer 3

use a couple of channel locks.....pull the circular cap within the core take out the cotter pin and put off the nut....jacked up of path supply the wheel a faucet out comes the outer wheel bearing take rotor off use a protracted go with the flow and punch our rear wheel bearong and seal.....get new seal and bearings percent with wheel bearing grease ...there are 2 races the bearing rides on...it is simpl;e to take away however ask wherein you purchase the bearings as they're a suite....pu all of it again in combination reverse right torque on th nut ...away you pass......convenient and no press required

Answer 4

Are you absolutely sure it's a bearing ?? Very unusual for a vehicle this new. What is the problem before you get in over your head ? If you have a bearing out it will be leaking rear end lubricant. If you have a brake cylinder leaking it will be brake fluid. Find out which you are leaking. NEVER replace any part till you know the problem

Answer 5

1st off you're gonna need to buy the whole hub assembly not just the bearing. that will cost around 85ish

is it disc or drum brakes? probably disc. so:
1st: take off your tire
2nd: remove your brake caliper assembly (theres two bolts holding your caliper together on the back side one on top one on bottom and if i remember right its an allen bit)
3rd: remove your brake rotor
4th: remove your drive axle nut
5th: the hub is held into the housing by three tabs each with a bolt in it, the front part of the hub (that you can spin) itself has three holes in it, THERE IS ONLY ONE HOLE OUT OF THE THREE THAT THE BOLT WILL COME OUT OF ITS CALLED THE "PEEKHOLE"!!! so you will need to spin the front part of the hub so it lines up with the bolts each time you take one out
6th: slide the hub out of its housing (make sure your whole rear end is level it will make removing the hub easier and not doing so could damage the splines on your axle, etc...
7th: put your new hub back on and redo all this crap

oh make sure to be careful with your brake caliper assembly when your ready to put your caliper back on your going to need to depress the plunger back inside the caliper with a 3 inch "c clamp" also make sure you dont be too rough with the caliper because you dont want to mess up the sensor position.

hope this helps, sorry for the length
