Changing the rear passenger hub and CV axle on the '05 highlander 4 cyl and lost today's battle trying to remove the CV from the transmission, as well as a fused backing plate to the hub. This video hasn't gotten a lot of views yet, but it is given me hope that tomorrow I'll beat the hub issue. Thank you, stranger friend.
Thank you so much for this. I'll be trying it tomorrow on my Camry. I thought I was going to need to take it to a shop to have it removed or spend $100-200 for new backing plates. I'll let you know how it works.
It worked. I chose bolts that were too long and they got bent, so I had to go get shorter bolts. 4 inches is just about right. Thank you thank you thank you. I was going to have to spend $800 for new backing plates or $600 for a local shop to get them out with their hydraulic press. $10 worth of bolts and nuts and I'll be working on reassembly tomorrow.
Well, shucks…makes my 4” stone chisel and lump hammer look primitive, and you don’t make a chisel-shaped dent in the edge of the bearing hub flange either. I have concluded, that 10 years of rust, is as good as a silver-soldered joint (just a step below brazing). Good job.
The easiest way to stop the bolt from gouging the backing plate real bad would be to spin the nut instead. It still left a small dent but not nearly so bad.
In this case the hub and bearing are integrated as this is the rear of the vehicle. I think it is possible to replace the bearing on its own but most people opt to replace the entire hub as it's not much more expensive than the bearing on its own.
@@orbitaaltube In your case in the video I saw you still used the old hub, did you hammer it back in? Did you use a steel cover to protect it from damaging? I can't imagine other ways to put it back in other than hammering. Thanks
It's just a bolt on part once the backing plate is separated from the hub/bearing assembly. When reassembling once you put the four bolts in at the back it will tighten it all back up again.
2019 I replaced the hub assembly and the backing plate on a 2009 Toyota Camry le.it was so hard to separate from each other.i tried your technique ,other technique heat up plate but unable to separate,after couple days tried i gave up and I ordered new backing plate from Toyota dealer and it was around $350 just plate .
Bro I just bought new backing plates and don’t mind damaging my old ones for this but mine were 220 for both on toyota parts overstock, fuck dealerships
In Europe we have a service called autodoc where such parts are available online. Not sure where the best source would be in the US (if you are quoting dollars).
@SE45CX your replacing the bearing not the backing plate so it doesn't matter to use the old bearing for leverage . Why would you care about taking off the backing plate if you are not going to change the 110$ bearing ?
Easier said than done, but for a cheap crappy quality built backing plate from day one. I say just repair it adding sheet metal, by either riveting on or gluing ,make aa template from the exact one, ,cut some ventilation slots as before. primer , undercoat and you just saved $300.00 on parts ,and a headache ,from removing a perfectly good hub bearing assembly.
They are 40bucks a piece aftermarket for this vehicle. These backing plates are also not just sheet metal as they are structural to support the brake carrier and the steel is thicker in places because of that.
It's all because of the rust here in Ireland. The new one is easy to put on because when you tighten up the bolts that hold the rear hub on it compresses it back in place.
@@orbitaaltube Quebecer here(French Canadian) , been there done that..... With temperatures sometimes dropping at minimums around - 35°C, they keep spraying salt on roads. No wonder why my car looks like it's out of the junkyard.... Here we use 10lb sledgehammers to remove starter motors.

Just smashed me thumb trying to separate the backing plate from the hub. Should have watched this first, great tip!
Yea they are a pig to separate, the Haynes manual says to use a hammer but it just doesn't work for cars with rust. Bolt works best.

you are welcome hopefully it helped you get the job done.
My backing/emergency brake mounting are rusted to beat the band and this is the only video I found for doing this on a Toyota.

This trick worked great on a fwd toyota sienna replacing rear hub with some changes. Thanks much and all the best
You are welcome glad it was useful to you. I had seen other videos on UA-cam but none that showed how to knock out the lug stud.

Great video! Great explanation! Helped alot!
Thanks for sharing this great method!
You are welcome!
Thanks, this worked really well!
You are welcome. Shared knowledge is good knowledge.
Very helpful with old hubs!
Thanks for your comment

Yes good point. Thanks for your comment.
How did you get the hub back to the bearing? it would be perfect if you include this step in the video.

Hi folks, 2013 Avensis and this part is very rusty, can this cause squeezing noise? It’s that rusty I can put my hand through it. Thanks folks

Yea it pays to shop around
Where did you buy the backing plate??? I'm looking around but not trying to spend $200 for each plate. any help would be Awesome!!

Yea looking for something in the US.... Thank you anyways for the response I appreciate it ! Great Video !!!
Did you complete this job already? What kind of car do you have?
My dad told me to tell you you're a genius and that if you were here, he'd make love to you, to show you his appreciation
This made me laugh. Lol.
Can this warp the hub though? Or else compromise the bearing?
Have done about 5000miles since this was done and both bearings are still fine.
You're right, he exactly shows how to ruin your wheel bearing.
@SE45CX your replacing the bearing not the backing plate so it doesn't matter to use the old bearing for leverage .
Why would you care about taking off the backing plate if you are not going to change the 110$ bearing ?
Surprised your not using an impact gun

@@orbitaaltube Lol, Toyota dealers wanted these backer plates for $300, and this is at a discounted rate. So, that is so terrible of them :(
just curious what year Corolla did you do this to?
In Ireland and UK it's the E12 model which would be from 2002 to 2006.
@@orbitaaltube ok great, thank you
Thanks
You are welcome
Thanks a ton ya fuckin Mick!
You are welcome and me names not Mick just for record. 😂
My hero!
you are welcome
You could rotate the flange 180 deg. then 90 deg. every few turns and that would draw the hub off evenly.
ANYBODY NO WHERE TO GET BACKING PLATE FOR 2008 TOYOTA PRIUS IN IRELAND
Put the vin of your car into this site and find the Toyota part number. Then search for the Toyota part number online. toyota.epc-data.com/

This guy might also be able to help. Based in the north.
Thanks !!
No problem!
Just leave them off
Leave what off?
Why are backplates that hard to remove? Will the new one be hard to put in place?
