I have a 06 cayon and the bearing in the left hand
Well, I guess it comes down to what you are calling a "spindle". The hub and bearing assembly comes out of the steering knukle. Yes, the hub and wheel studs are part of the bearing assembly. It doesn't really have a "spindle" in the old-fashioned sense. Assuming that your Canyon is a 4X4, the hub and bearing assembly comes of like this:
Raise and support the vehicle. Remove the tire and wheel assmbly. Remove the brake caliper assembly and brake pads. Remove the Caliper Bracket from the steering knuckle. Remove the disc brake rotor. Remove the large nut from the end of the drive axle. Disconnect the electrical connector for the wheel speed sensor. Push the drive axle inward to gain access to, and remove the 3 bolts securing the bearing and hub assembly on the inside of the steering knuckle. Beat the S**T out of the bearing and hub assembly to make it come loose from the steering knuckle. (They ommitted this step in the service manual - LOL!)
Reverse steps to install. (it shouldn't be necessary to beat the new bearing though :) )
My 2005 gmc canyon has an eratic idle problem and
P0300 random misfire, P0506 Idle control lower than expected, 8207,6505,9300 these are GM codes will the use P0300 and P0506. Here is the solution GM canyon and colorado are plaque with camshaft solenoid plugging up,weather you maintance the vehicle like a religion or you dont the camshaft postion solenoid gets plug and causes rough idle every where. Here is your fix there are time I have succesfully cleaned the out with a carburator cleaner or engine cleaner and reenstalled and it worked, there are time I ran I with a engine oil flush and It worked, you gor 2 options take it out and clean it out,and put it back in(clean the oil ports of the solenoid).or run a engine oil flush with a oil change. Now why did this happen and what are the camshaft postion for.It for emmission it took place of the EGR has nothing to do with performance just emmission and headaches
Can you change a 2005
yes, the filter is on the frame rail on the left side (driver side)at about the back of the drivers seat
I drove through 12-15 inches
It sounds like you need to replace some U joints. When U joints start making noise it is too late for grease to fix the problem, the damage is already done. To be sure get under the truck and move the driveshaft at each joint. Try to move it up and down and from side to side. If there is any movement in the driveshaft and none in the yoke, the joint is bad. You should also try turning it to check for movement. Do this with each joint because it is quite possible that move than one joint is bad.
Don't put off fixing this because you run a real danger of having one of those U joints failing and the driveshaft falling. When you order new ones make sure they come with grease fittings. Once a month 10 minutes with a grease gun will save you a lot of money and extra work over the life of the truck. Hope this helps.
Spark Plugs, I have a
Which engine?
Both of them will have what is called coil over ignition. There will be individual coils over each spark plug. The coils will be bolted to the center of the valve cover. Unplug the coils, unbolt them from the valve cover, and remove them. You will then be able to access the spark plugs.
Make sure you use the correct spark plug (a/c delco). I’m happy to assist further over the phone at

Abs light turned on after replacing brakes, how do
did you replace the pads only or the pads and rotors.either way if you pushed the calipers back without opening the bleeder screws its possible that you may have push some debris into the abs system causing the system not to work when it went through its test.you can try to bleed the brake system to flush out the debris.flush the 4 wheels until the brake fluid is clean and not discolored.don`t let the master cylinder run low of brake fluid.this may fix the problem.if you replaced the rotors make sure that you received rotors for an abs system as i have gotten some that the abs ring was missing from the factory.look on the back of the rotors to see if you can see the ring.it will be attached to the rotor and has teeth on it.you should be able to do this without pulling the rotors off.if there is no ring then you received the wrong rotors or defective rotors.also make sure the abs sensors at the rings is there and not bent or damaged from replacing the brakes and that the wire plug connector is connected and not damaged.if this checks out good then you should have the code pulled to see what direction it sends you to diagnose the problem as it could be a sensor that has stopped working.
I own a 2005 GMC Canyon Five CYL and the cruise
Start with the simple and check the fuses and the Stop lamp switch. Check your brake lights, if they're not working, the cruise won't work either. If they're not working, check the fuse for them, if the fuse is fine, then take it into the dealer, there's been a recall issued on the brake switch, so it should get fixed for free.
Cruise Control Disengaged
The powertrain control module (PCM) disengages the cruise control operation based on the signals from the following switches:
* The stop lamp switch
* The TCC brake/cruise release switch
* The clutch release switch, if equipped
* The cruise control On/Off switch
The TCC brake/cruise release switch and the stop lamp switch are mounted on the brake pedal bracket. When the brake pedal is applied, the normally closed TCC brake/cruise release switch opens and the normally open stop lamp switch closes. The PCM detects a low signal voltage on the TCC brake/cruise release switch signal circuit and a high signal voltage on the stop lamp switch signal circuit. When the clutch pedal is applied, the normally closed clutch release switch opens and the PCM detects zero voltage on the CCP switch signal circuit. The vehicle speed stored in the memory of the PCM will be erased when the cruise control On/Off button is turned OFF, or the ignition switch is turned OFF.
The Cruise Control System will disengage when the PCM detects that a driver override function has been active for approximately 60 seconds .
When the Cruise Control System is disengaged, the PCM sends a class 2 message to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) in order to deactivate the cruise control indicator.
Cruise Control Inhibited
The powertrain control module (PCM) inhibits the cruise control operation when any of the following conditions exist:
* A cruise control related DTC has been set.
* The vehicle speed is less than 40.2 km/h (25 mph) .
* The vehicle is in PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, or 1st gear.
* The engine RPM is too low.
* The engine RPM is too high, with fuel cut off.
* The vehicle speed is too high, with fuel cut off.
* The system voltage is not between 9 volts and 16 volts .
* The Traction Control System (TCS) is active for more than 2 seconds .
Thank you for using Fixya and start with replacing the stop lamp switch. Even though the brake light work, it;s been known for that switch to cause your issue. that's way there was a recall for it.
Removing no 1 spark plug
Start by taking the intake apart. Loosen (8MM) the clamp to the MAF
sensor and the clamp to the throttle body (8MM). Take the air line off
the front of the resonator (one that goes to the pressure regulator).
Two 10mm bolts hold the resonator on (passenger side- next to the air
intake ducting), take them off. Disconnect the MAF sensor connector.
Remove
air ducting with resonator. [There will be another line connected to
the resonator in back, it goes to the valve cover vent. Make sure not to
lose it!! It is 1/2 rubber line.]
10mm socket will loosen the
ignition coil that sits on top the spark plugs. You may want to
unplug the coils. Once that is
unscrewed, you can pull that straight up and off out of the cylinder
Get your 5/8 spark plug socket, connect the 5" extension and 3"
extension to it and send it down to get a hold of the plug. [I
recommended a breaker bar because some are on there REALLY
tight!!] Attach your socket and loosen the
spark plug and pull it out.
2005 GMC Canyon - service engine light came on -
Sounds as if your alternator is not charging the battery. The battery is the main source of your engine "spark". the alternator is across the leads to supply charging to bring your battery up to the 13.2 volts that is available. Of course the alternator will run your auto if it is producing voltage, i.e. jump start, or push start. It takes a certain voltage to run your computer which monitors the battery and if that voltage is not sufficent to produce the timed spark, (battery runs down), then the vehicle will not fire on all cylindars.
No power windows or
Hello there!, You might have moisture in the switch, You should buy a can of wd-40 if you do not have it already and then remove the switch from the door, turn it over and spray the wd-40 inside the switch you will want to make sure that the spray gets down inside real well. Turn it back over and spray in around the top side as well. Then work each switch both directions several times. After this wipe everything dry with a clean cloth and replace it. If it is a moisture problem this will fix it. wd-40 is a water displacer for electronics. if this does not fix the problem you will need to replace it.
( The switch is removed by using a flat tip screw driver to release the clips or plastic tabs located on the plastic trim around the switch set itself ). Hope this helps.
I have an engine misfire
The most common cause for a misfire is a bad igntion coil - each cylinder has a coil. I would find a different repair shop.
What is the procedure for
the light was on for a reason, the computer has stored a code and this is why light is on. did the issue get fixed? you can go to a dealer or a local auto parts like auto zone and have them do a code read and they can also cancel engine light.
My check engine light came
Try to clean the throttle body out. Its not getting enough air going through. The five cylinders create a lot of carbon build up. Is your check engine light on?
Some thing is killing my
The first thing to do is to make sure the battery is good, have it tested and make sure its good and holds a charge, the next thing to make sure the battery is good is to disconnect the negitive battery terminal and let truck sit the amount of time is would take to drain the battery, this is overnite in most cases but im not sure about yours, next after it sits the amount of time then connect battery and it should start, if it doesnt then the battery is no good, also when the battery is tested have the charging system checked to make sure the alternator is charging the battery, after the battery checks out good and the alternator then the next step is to look all over the truck for any light on, like glove box or a light on the rear view mirrror, i will say that this truck is designed to shut down all power left on in side truck after i think 15min, i think you may find a bad battery is the problem but still check for any light on look closely front and rear for any lights. this is where i would start, the next thing would be a draw meter on the battery while you start to disconnect fuses from the box until the draw meter shows no draw anymore then you would see what system the fuse you pulled runs and then check that systems components, but lets start with the batt, and alternator and for any lights left on. hope this is helpful. good luck...
