2008 aveo 5 rear hub and bearing

[mortman]

I was wondering if anyone knew how the rear hub/bearing/drum went together on my 2008. I have read that on the older models the bearing was part of the drum. I have a bad noise coming from the left rear and believe it is the bearing. I did a little looking but wanted to be sure before I pull the wheel and get into it.

Thank you it went just that easy except when I got to the caulking nut. and realized I didn't have the right socket for the nut so off to the parts store.

Hey Mortman, just curious, what size socket was it?

It was an 1-1/4. Picked it up at Autozone for 8.99 in a deep, not impact but that's ok I don't think I need an impact for it.
