Is it a PITA? What's the total cost to replace one side usually? Any specialty tools required?

Easy stuff. It's just 3 bolts to get the assembly off.... Well and the axle nut. Look up the part on napa and you'll see what I mean

my dad did my sisters impalas back in the day, and IIRC... it was pretty easily... seriously man... nothing is tough on these cars lol.

did you get one yet?

Just whatever size socket you need to get the axle nut off. After that its just one electrical connector and three bolts that connect the hub to the spindle.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Oh and I had to replace both fronts before 100k.

I've got 3 more to look at tonight, one is looking like a good possibility as long as the guy doesnt have his head up his ass on the price.

Needs wheel bearings and exhaust. 144k. Ad says make an offer...

CAI box is covered in performance stickers and ZZPerformance badge is right across the rad support...

I think I'm gonna offer $2500.

easy...let me know if you want someone to come with...im not doin anything after like 630 tonight.

How about the trans in these things. PITA to swap? Whats a junkyard trans cost?

No idea what to look at to chew the guy down on price, but with mods and whatever, I'm concerned on the trans...

let alone the obvious bearings and whatever...

A no brainer, but check under the blower snout and in that area for coolant and ask when/if the intake gaskets have been replaced and by whom.

 

[Kbrown]

right on... i think you are on track tho... but yeah... tranny's just used junkyard 4t65hd's are like 500ish id say...

A no brainer, but check under the blower snout and in that area for coolant and ask when/if the intake gaskets have been replaced and by whom.

i would prolly do the lim gaskets, coolant elbows, valve cover gaskets, coolant o rings, and injector o rings, just for piece of mind... which is like 100$ worth of parts... but then you are golden.

or you can buy my gtp! it has a rebuild tranny on it with a nice shift kit, 40k on the lower end(not the original bottom end, if you want the story i can tell you) basic 3.5 set up (headers, intake, tstat, you now the usual with a tune), and then 81k on the body and has never seen a winter. but im probably asking a little much then what you are looking to spend. but hey if you did buy mine you wouldnt have to worry about anything!!! ohh and there isnt ANY rust on the body to my knowing. asking 6200 OBO.

ohh and it also has new speakers all around with a 7 inch flip up touch screen dvd player. and good tires on it too lots of life left.
