  • Today we are doing some much needed maintenance and upgrades on my wifes daily driver, her 1996 Toyota 4Runner. I discovered her wheel bearings where TOAST when replacing the tie rods!

    You would be surprised how easy it is to install bearings by freezing the bearing and heating up the spindle. I just did my rear axle bearings and I put my bearings in my freezer and used a heat gun to heat up my axle housing. I was able to push the bearings in by hand.

      Rear works great this way! I've done it lots. These fronts not so much

      The rear is always a loose fit in the housing on a 3rd gen, and no amount of heat or freezing will help the retainers, ABS reluctor, or bearing slip on the rear axle shaft, just brut force. To bad you didn’t show how to press the bearing, inner and outer seal and snap ring. I’ll be doing this job at home soon, expensive OEM parts

    Wheel spacers are probably why the bearing went bad.
