Holy f-nuggets these axle nuts were tight even with. 3ft breaker bar I had to struggle to break them looseView attachment 368817

Isn't torque spec like 180 ft lb

Plus with no caps those threads get rusty. Kroil or PB Blaster beforehand is your friend

if anybody has the torque specs handy i need
3 hub bolts torque
axle nut torque (i think it's 165 or 185 not sure)
front brake caliper bracket torque (i think it's 180?)

Wasn't talking about wheel center caps, but the caps that cover the axle/nut

When I replaced the hubs on my 2011 I bought caps and installed them to help protect that area. Then the damn thing was totalled a month later, lol

How hard is it to change out the power steering hose, the forward most one that runs from the back of the reservoir to the rack?

Mine is looking corroded in the area where it transitions from hard tube to rubber.

It's not super pleasant but doable. The biggest ***** for me was getting the hose to seal at the rack. Buy gm seals. They are much better than the pos seals that come with the hoses. Mine leaked. Used gm the next round and so far so good. I believe I bought gates brand hoses.

26100863 is the part number for the gm seals

I was probably going to get the GM hose. If it doesn't come with seals now I know what part # to look for.

I think this is the hose in question....

Good deal. Grab at least two seals, maybe 3 so you have a spare. I tore one the first round
