Mine is 2wd, 2002 model. Not sure what challenges I will face in the near future, but I hope it's as easy as taking the old one out and putting the new one in

2wd is simple no CV shaft and I still have no clue what was pressed out unless he did CV shaft rebuilds (???)

I'm relieved to know that this is simple, if you say so. If your question is for me about cv shaft rebuild, I did not rebuild them....only working with wheel bearing.
-Thanks again Repairdog!

That CV shaft was for the post above and 4wd.
2wd removal is same as the posts above except no CV shaft to pull out.

For Repairdog: I was just curious if I am going to need "a large 6" 2 jaw puller" for my 02 2wd blazer, in order to replace my wheel bearing/hub assembly; or is this strictly for 4wd only?
- Thanks

No, 2wd need an 18mm box end wrench that is not a standard one in most sets (socket also not standard) for the 3 bolts and the caliper bracket. Plus the jack and jack stands.

Repairdog, first let me say thanks for all your advice. Secondly, I successfully replaced my driver side hub assembly/wheel bearing. All bolts came off with ease(luckily). Once I replaced it, I went for a test drive, and it's so damn smooth and quiet- it's like driving a different car.
-Furthermore, I've discovered through research that this wheel bearing is the worst design ever made on this vehicle. One of the most common things to go on Blazers, unfortunately. I am so happy it's finally fixed! THANKS AGAIN....

Good to hear - but all vehicles are going to the 1 piece hubs for fast assembly and no service required till they fail.

I heard about that....When I was doing a little research about blazer wheel bearings on different forums, all anyone had to say about it was, "they're only good for about 50,000 miles and they're soo damn expensive to fix, I'm going to sell my blazer because of this." Very dissapointing to hear in my opinion, because I dig my blazer....I sure hope other parts of the blazer aren't lacking the quality that the bearing is.$$$$$$$$$$

Of the 4 Blazers I have the most went at close to 120,000 but after that many buy the cheapo Chinese ones that do fail. Timken and BCA seem to last well.
