I like how this particular job was done on a rusty, less than pristine set up. It’s easier to work on a vehicle when it’s components are in great condition. This vid shows how easily it can be done even if you run into rust. Great job! Keep it up!
@@johnbragg2014 so you're familiar with NY rust?! Got a question for you! A couple years ago, I bought a 2015 Tacoma off of Carvana. It showed that it came from NY (I'm in Colorado where we use mag-chloride vs salt). I took it to my mechanic and they looked it over and said its definitely got rust, but nothing horrible. I decided to stick with it and got underneath and coated some vital areas with marine oil to guard against further rusting. Well fast forward to about 2 weeks ago and I took the truck into the same mechanic about front brake work. (They already replaced the rear drums a year ago along with the left rear wheel bearing.) They called me and said my calipers were seized up and I needed rotors, pads and calipers. Plus, the right rear wheel bearing was making tons of noise and needed replacement. Once all of that work was done, now that the right rear wheel was quiet, they realized the front left wheel bearing was making noise as well. I've got that works scheduled. When I went to pick it up, he showed me the wheel bearing and how rotted out one side of it was (the channel where the bearings were). And the calipers looked like the ones in this video! My question for you is, assuming you are from NY or that area, how do you guys deal with cars out there? Is life expectancy just short out there for most cars? Or do you guys have to take specific preventive measures every few months? Or do most cars actually survive this crazy level of rusting?
@@JimmyFlim I may not be John Bragg, but I do know that rust. Much like NY, road salt is the common application for winter roads in PA. Likewise, I know a few things about Tacoma trucks, having owned six of various generations / two of which received full frame replacements via Toyota. FWIW - I've held a PA inspection mechanic certification (exceeding 20 years) and find the oxy / acetylene torch (applying heat) to be requirement more often than not to prevent breakage during repairs here. The short version, keeping your vehicle hosed out every spring will significantly improve its longevity. Removing wheels and brake complements annually to flush hard to reach areas is a must do in this zip code, as well as accessing the undercarriage to irrigate frame rails and cross-members. The body panels are no different, remove tail lights to wash inner bedsides until the water runs clear. Repeat this procedure for the door sills, rocker panels, cab mounts, radiator supports and inner fender wheels. There is a program offered by Toyota that applies to northern sold Tacoma trucks, specifically a dealership installed frame rust preventative, with (plastic) diverters - at no charge. I would expect that your VIN will be all that's necessary to have this performed at your local dealership. Without it, a frame failure is not covered... take a minute and look into that for your area. Side note - I grew up here, and will not buy a used vehicle that has lived north of Harrisburg. The salt induced rust belt starts there and moves north. Hope this helps.
I clicked on this video fully expecting a nice, clean, pretty new looking truck being worked on. I am happy to see somebody actually showing what it's going to look like in the real world. Great video just a great help!!

You think this is bad? You should see the trucks that have spent their whole life up here in the rust belt. Give it eh 5-10 years from brand new depending on how good it’s taken care of and rockers & cab corners are non existent. Wheels wells, non existent. Usually at this point half the frame is about to crumble right in front of your eyes. Holes in the bumpers. Can hardly set anything in the bed without it falling right through to the ground. And replacing ANYTHING period usually requires a torch, but ALWAYS requires a LOT of patience😊 Check out South main auto here on UA-cam, he has a bunch of great examples of this in his videos from over the years working in NY. And you might learn something new, the man is a genius when it comes to automotive diagnostics.
@@kcscustom9759 LoL I was thinking the same thing. I live in the mountains of Western Pennsylvania and this truck in the video looks way better than my 2014 Tacoma. I try very hard to keep my truck washed too, especially through the winter.
i always learn something new from your video. like obviously the content at hand but also the subtle techniques like you took apart the wheel bearing while it was on the truck instead of trying to figure out a good way to hold the knuckle when it was off the truck to apply torque to the wheel bearing bolts! i've learned so much from your videos. thank you!
+Kevin Kay Thank you! We love empowering our customers and showing how to perform DIY auto repairs with our high-quality auto parts. 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
Always amazed at how much rust these Tacoma can accumulate and yet still run and get you from a to b. Love my taco! Thankfully it has far less rust than this old beast
Thanks for posting the what the axle nut socket size is ! I 'm gonna replace both my front bearings next week and needed to know what size socket i needed. First time i've done this myself ..fingers crossed
While a good general video on how to remove and replace the bearing, TRQ could’ve and should’ve mentioned the remaining steps required to do the job correctly: 1. There is an O-ring on the back of the bearing that needs to be replaced (and really should just be part of their bearing kit, but isn’t). 2. The seal on the back side of the steering knuckle needs to be replaced. 3. The CV axle seal (Toyota pn 90304-A0001) also needs to be replaced, esp, if the drivetrain is rusty (ex, by being driven in areas that salt their roads). Failure to do these replacements will allow dirt and salt into the bearing and cause premature wear of the bearing. Do yourselves the favor and complete the job. Happy driving.
Thank you brother for this video. would have never got this job done without it. make sure you replace the whole hub and bearing assembly when doing this job had to take my large sledge hammer to it to get it free. didnt look to pretty after it was out
+@paulmiller9640 Thank you! We love empowering our customers and showing how to perform DIY auto repairs with our high-quality auto parts. 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
I bought TRQ bearing assemblies for my Tacoma and only watched this because there is a large O ring that goes in a groove on the housing. The o ring you gave me is smaller than the groove so it doesn’t fit in the groove. I was hoping you would say it will get pushed into the groove by the taper in the knuckle but you didn’t even install it!! Now I’m totally confused as to how I get this ring to fit. I’ll probably just reuse the old one with some silicone.
Random question but what year was yours? When I took mine off it had a oring on it. So I am just going to replace it with the ring that comes with my new part.
I know this is an old video and this may sounds dumb but why shouldn’t you use something magnetic to help clean out the area before putting new hub on?
Do you guys have this part but for the 5 lug models of the same gen tacomas? I've been really struggling to find the wheel bearing/hub assembly for my 5 lug
36mm socket ? or 35MM socket? another video said 35mm ..I need to purchase one. Also what MM size are the lugs ? my wheel wrench that came with the bottle jack does not fit on my lugs ?? weird. I have never done this kind of work and need all the help I can get, BTW your video is like a dream come true. Thanks.
I just bought a 2011 taco trd and i was baffled when i heard wheel lug nut torque is only 83 foot pound…. And the caliper bolts were 80 foot pound… acle nut at 173 makes sence to me tough
That guy really needs to blast his control arms and frame with some fluid film to kill that rust and prevent it from getting worse. Truck must be from the Northeast. Great video though!
+Duval Penny The part in this video fits your application, and the install should be the same or similar. Buy this part on 1AAuto.com: 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
Would you have the part number for that bearing? Have a 2007 4 wheel drive v6... thank you... if it is already posted somewhere in these comments I apologize.
You make it look to easy. That 17mm bolt removal off the hubs is a tough cookie to loosen. Especially without leverage. I needed a sledge hammer over a mallet..
All is fun until that hub/bearing is seized to the knuckle and you need torches to get the thing off. Glad to see someone else working on rusty vehicles.
I have a 07 tacoma base model 2.7L, had the front bearing replaced and now there's a abs check light on. Scanner read front left abs sensor reading 0mph while rolling at 15mph. Could the mechanic damaged the sensor in any way even though it looks OK? Or what are your thoughts
I know this is two years ago but if anyone has this issue or if you are still running with a abs check light (no judgement) it is very possible that the mechanic could have damaged the sensor and/or cable. Any time unintended stress or stretching bending or tangling is induced it can damage the cable communicating the information the abs sensor is reading and cause you to have a abs fault code.
Just one very important note for those of you who own a torque wrench: Just one click with it, not click and click again. That changes the torque value. (it makes the bolt too tight). Hand should only grip the handle. If you use two hands and one of them is off the handle, again that changes the torque value. No cheater bars either!
it clicks and then it means you stop. Therefore, you can click 1,000 more times, but if you stop when it clicks, you're always at the torque spec. The problem is people hear the click and kinda keep torqueing for another second later before they stop.
Not bad. That look way too easy.. Wish mine went that well on pass side. Try about 8 years daily driving even on salty roads & 31 miles daily muddy off roads about 175,000. I beat on mine for on & off 2 days. Finally it broke loose. Now facing doing it again with new axle shafts, bearings & rotors both wheels. Do it. Try do it right. Myself I think Toyota parts last long than Joe down on corner El Cheapo auto parts. And not that more expensive for the quality.

"couple of loving bonks" then out comes the baby sledge
My wheel bearing replacement kit came with an O-ring seal for the back of the bearing with some thin garter spring things. How do I replace those??
The 4 hub bolts on my 2011 were 16mm. FYI Great video and TY from VT. And dust cover? Mine was totally gone from rust, TG the center was still there.
great video, quick, straight to the point and no BS.
Thank you so much, this video was a huge help that led to the success of me replacing my hub assembly.
Thanks for making a realistic video showing the rust. Great vid thanks!
I like the way he is explaining the entire process.
The best video. Full and detailed explanation, furthermore with step by step graphics. Thanks so much.
Absolutely great video. I have a NOT-A-Mechanic question. Is it ok to hit the drum that hard?

Great video. Done on a real truck. Not some pristine show piece worked on in a hermetically sealed McLaren factory!
"Real truck" recovered from the bottom of the north sea??
Im doing cvs spindles uppers and bearings on my 08.
How many bonks do you think itll take?
Just had a wheel bearing go out on a work truck or ours took it to Toyota as per the bosses request. They quoted me 1600 bucks 😂. That looks easy!
Hello there! Can you guys do a vid. For changing the axles axle fluids? Thanks
Is the axle nut a 36mm or 35mm? I've heard other people use a 35mm imstead of a 36mm like in this video.
Dude. Just completed my bearings. I'll buy you lunch when your on honolulu
Can you guys do a similar video for the 5-lug Tacomas?
Who makes the copper never seize you're using and where did you get it? thanks.
I know this is an old video and this may sounds dumb but why shouldn’t you use something magnetic to help clean out the area before putting new hub on?
Does it have to do with the wheel speed sensors?

HOLY MOLY look at that CORROSION. Great job Toyota.
I think that truck has seen a bit of saltwater
Yeah cause corrosion in a wheel well is definitely the manufacturers fault and most certainly not the owners negligence and lack of maintenance

Geez, did this Tacoma drive across the Atlantic before needing wheel bearings?
Thank you you save me 1000 bucks, the quote from my mechanic smh

My favorite torque spec is a couple bonks

Man if he considers that dust shield is in good shape, I sure would hate to see what he thinks poor shape is!
Is it possible to swap out from 5 stud to 6 stud to be able to go from 15 inch hub wheels to 17" which make the truck look a little bigger and taller.
