Bout to try this tomorrow. I dont want to remove the ball joint or the two strut bolts. Hope i get an easy one.

A bucket or metal wire hanger is useful for holding the caliper

What is that vibration tool, a hammer? Maybe I can leave it for the wife once I'm done with the bearings.

[@rc4211]

Thanks for the video. It would have been nice to see the work you did on the back of the steering knuckle as well. What was the power tool you used to remove the bearing assembly from the knuckle? Also, how did you unstake the axle nut prior to turning it off?

[@LewsSpeedShop]

I used a impact wrench to remove the axle nut, and a air hammer to remove the wheel bearing

What about the abs sensor 10 mm bolt everyone else takes off?

[@omasis19]

What. Were the symptoms my friend?

[@dieromig]

I have problems with the Bearing Dust Deflector 43246-47010. I think the deflector is causing noise with the axle. Is it possible to drive without the shield? I can't seem to put it back correctly.

Putting the rusted shield back on? Must be something you're going to sell. But thanks for the bearing info.

Is this a pressed in wheel bearing replacement? If so, is this harder than a traditional replacement?

[@LewsSpeedShop]

No.

[@luross2057]

What torque did you use? I got a clicking noise while driving at 160lbs. Stop making noise once used 225lbs. A lot of rest drive before the sound stop at 225lbs

[@LewsSpeedShop]

The repair manual said 159 ft. lbs.

[@luross2057]

@@LewsSpeedShop thanks for the response yes Toyota said to use 159. The Sounds coming from the axles on both side stop at 225. Starting at 159 I added 10 lb of torque until the sound stop

[@jameshartman1309]

Did you go with a OEM bearing? What is the part number and brand of bearing if not OEM?

[@LewsSpeedShop]

The owner just got a bearing from the local Autozone. Sorry I don't have the part number

[@Cldfsn0200]

What was socket size of the big main bolt?

[@limitmania4755]

30mm 12 point

[@sbklvs]

What size is the axle socket please?

[@LewsSpeedShop]

32 mm
