does my 01 durango have ABS in front tires too? need hub bearing replace, help
I'd assume that there's an axle nut of some sort that has to be removed, but i don't have firsthand knowledge of the RWD Durango's, sorry!
I think most of the other posts in this thread also assumed that you had 4WD. Perhaps someone with 2WD can jump in here?
Sharps is right on the ABS sensor, just pull the wheel and look for a sensor wire going to the hub. It's quick and painless. You'll also be able to get a firsthand look at the bolts you'll need to remove and see if you have the correct tools before starting.

Not sure I would agree with the anti-sieze on those bolts. I believe they come from the factory with the blue type locktite and that is why they are a bear to remove. The locktite prevents the bolts from backing out and losing a wheel. Not that you would lose the wheel but then all you have holding the wheel is the nut on the cv axle and the brake caliper bracket/rotor if memory serves. I would definetly not use the red locktite. Good luck.

ya that video im finding out is for 4x4 and not 2wd durango, mine will be completely different i dont have to take the axel out, and i dont have back screws either.
from what someone posted in that videos replies they wrote "for 2wd durango ill need a 36mm socket to get the hub nut off, i guess that is why this 33mm is to small for the hub nut they included with this new bearing, and he also said a 7mm allen wrench to get the breaks off instead of t47
