SIMON LC Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Has anybody changed a rear wheel bearing and if so what sort of a job is it?Any special tools required? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I have done it twice now Normal socket/tool kit plus ball joint splitters to remove the hub from the car. Also need knwledge of how it all 'fits' 15 - 20 ton press and a farily large amount of skill to push old bearing out and press new one in Normally remove hub and take it to toyota or other place with said press and knowledge myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 A simple fly press should do it, it's the shock rather than the tonnage IMO. I tried to remove one a few years back using a 75tonne press and it didn't want to know, put it on the fly press and gave it a whack abd it popped out.

Digsy Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I tried to do mine but gave up. The three ball joints you need to split are all different sizes. I ended up buying two different splitters and an angle grinder to modify them to fit. I got two apart but the final onw would not budge. I ended up getting a complete 2nd hand hub assembly and taking it to a garage. They took all morning and ended up damaging their own ball joint splitter - thankfully not so badly as to stop them doing the job. Seems to be one of those jobs that either goes smoothly or becomes a right pig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymdee Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I had one of mine replaced recently along with new rear disks and pads. Charged 2.5 hours labour for the whole lot, which I thought was reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
