I have, You’ll need a press, its not that hard, but be careful not to split the wheel bearing when you’re assembling it
How long did it take you?
What kind of wheel bearing did u use?
I don’t remember how long it took, my locking ring was rusted and was real hard to get out of my knuckle.. I used a OEM Toyota wheel bearing
I took the knuckle off , bought the new bearing and took it to a mechanic shop. They removed the old bearing and pressed in the new one for $20 bucks..
The knuckle is the hub assembly right?
My friend and I did mine with no press bit of smarts and elbow grease got it done. My bearing was shot x
The knuckle is number 2 ..
Thanks man
Use a universal front wheel drive bearing installation tool. You can rent one at AutoZone.
You don’t need a press.
i use a bfh and a large socket
This is the breaker bar that I tried to use to remove my wheel bearing retaining nut just earlier today… Second wrench I broke trying to get it loose… I just took it to the shop…
You mean the knuckle retaining nut?
Nope the 32mm wheel bearing retaining nut…
Maybe that’s what it’s called, I dunno… I’m tired of breaking my tools messing with it… Not coming off by my hand…
Well… Sw20 correct? It’s a 30mm axle nut… And should have a cotter pin through the main shaft end. New bearing needs to be pressed in, but it’s overall a pretty easy task. Costed me $70 for the wheel bearing and the press-in
SW22 here, and mine is 32mm. I’ve had the passenger side off a couple of times for alternator replacements, but this one doesn’t want to budge…
… What year? Mine is 93 on stock everything…
You need penetrating lube man.
^ yes but we’re working on cars here
91 Turbo
You need liquid wrench man.
Revision non sexy.
Ohhh it’s turbo… My bad, I got the gaspy N/A
Wow how are you guys replacing wheel bearings without the proper tools? I replace about 30 per year at http://primemr2.com/ and it takes a lot of effort with my 20 ton press and clamshell bearing puller.
I take mine to get pressed at a shop, the rest I do with my crappy tools, determination, a couple skinned knuckles, and a lot of cussing ?
We have to be mechanically inclined to save money for go fast goodies LOL
Will the gen 3 hubs fit a 91
This is how I do it.
