Follow these steps carefully
On level ground, crack the wheel lug nuts loose on the Cadillac XT5. Chock the opposite wheels, jack at the approved lift point, and support with jack stands. Remove the wheel. Wear gloves and eye protection.
Remove the brake caliper and hang it with a hook/wire — do not let it dangle by the hose. Remove the caliper bracket and rotor. On FWD/AWD, remove the axle nut and separate the axle from the hub if it passes through the bearing; support the axle so the inner joint is not strained.
Unbolt ABS wheel-speed sensor and any dust shields. Separate the tie-rod end and/or ball joint(s) only as required for hub/knuckle access on this design. Mark camber/alignment eccentrics if present.
Remove the hub-face bolts (or press the bearing from the knuckle if it is a pressed-in design). Tap the hub loose with a soft mallet if stuck — never hammer the ABS ring or bearing race directly. Compare the new hub/bearing to the old unit.
Clean the knuckle bore/mounting face. Install the new hub assembly or press the new bearing squarely with the correct drivers — apply force only on the proper race. Torque hub bolts/axle nut to the specified values (axle nuts are often one-time stretch bolts).
Reinstall rotor, bracket, and caliper; torque fasteners to spec. Reconnect ABS sensor and suspension links. Refit the wheel, lower the vehicle, and torque lugs in a star pattern. Pump the brakes firm before moving. Road-test and listen for growl/hum; get an alignment if ball joints or tie rods were separated.
Test your repair before closing everything up. If something doesn't work right, double-check your steps.
