Replacing the right wheel bearing how do u remove that hub do u need a special tool for it

Front wheel drive?if so which i think it is you need to remove the whole hub assy then use a universal hub seperator to remove the bearing then press a new bearing in. some vehicles such as ford festiva need a special tool to adjust a shim thickness which is imperative. I would sugest you get a 2nd hand hub assy with a good bearing in it & just replace the whole assy :-)

The front wheel bearing for your Impala is an integrated wheel hub/bearing/ABS.
The whole thing gets replaced. It should look like the one off my Bonneville; Bearing.

Remove wheel/tire. Remove brakes. Remove rotor. Remove axle nut. Press-out axle shaft*. Unplug ABS connector. Remove 3 bearing bolts.
*To press out axle, you may need a special tool from an auto parts store.
Don't forget to put the heat sheild back on during reassembly, and the axle nut need to be very tight.

Replacing the front wheel bearing/hubs can be a big job for the inexperianced. Briefly...
Remove tire/wheel
Remove brake caliper assembly, do not remove brake line.
Remove caliper bracket.
Remove brake rotor.
Unplug ABS sensor.
Remove the large axle nut.
Press axle out of bearing (may need special tool)
Remove the 3 bearing bolts and remove bearing.

If you are asking how to do this ... I first need to say this is not a job for the untrained. You will have to have special tools and skills to efffect this repair.

If you do have the specifications (get from the public library) and the special tools (at a minimum - torque wrench, pliers, screw driver, hammer, floor jack, jack stands), and the right parts, you still need to get the special grease (and be ready to pack the bearings) before you even jack the truck up.

If done incorrectly, the consequences are pretty grim, ranging from a wheel lock up to loss of a wheel and colateral damage. Don't enter into this project lightly.
