I have done brakes and calipers many times. Going the few extra steps to replace the bearings was not hard at all. Following the video made it easy. I used blue pit bearings to get the bearings already put together….which was an easy process to order…took 4 days to receive. Hardest part was figuring out I needed a 35mm socket for the axle nut…I used a 36. Thanks and good luck!
I don't drive threw water and only got 100k out of my driver side bearing , no play but was howling bad , Toyota is not what it once was , I suspect my pass side will be soon too.
Oooh man, I just can't stop being amazed with your videos, the lord bless you for such level of clear and detailed explanation!!! Thank you so much for sharing your GREAT knowledge!!!
Clear, thorough and concise explanation on how to change out the hub bearing assembly. I can't comment on the aftermarket assemblies for the FJ Cruiser, but I can comment on a particular hub bearing aftermarket assembly for my 2008 Camry. Four years ago, all four assemblies required changing. We went with Moog hub bearing assemblies. At that time, I believe these were Korean imports. So far, 40K in, no problems. I do understand that Moog outsources their assemblies to 16 different companies, so I would not be surprised if quality varied according to where the assemblies were manufactured. There may be others worth looking at, such as Timken. But stay away from the no-name Chinesium brands, cheaper than these two. Those unknown brands are sure to be trouble.
Great tip on checking the part. I had an 86 BMW 325es that I needed to replace the front spoiler. The parts guy was giving me the wrong spoiler because that’s what the computer told him. I argued with no avail. I went another dealer and the old timer in the parts department knew exactly what I needed. He looked in a paper binder and it listed the right part. He told me that it wasn’t in the computer.
Like you, I live in the rustbelt. On my 2009 Prius, the wheel bearing assembly was seized so bad that I had to remove the knuckle and take it to a machine shop that had a shop press. It took lots of heat and over 20 tons to get it out. A slide hammer was useless. It is amazing how corroded/seized those can get.
If you undo the lower bolts from the knuckle to lower control arm you can pull the CV axle out and change the inner seal to protect the bearing from dirt and water. The inner seal is just as important to change as the outer seal.
The steering knuckle has a dust seal on its inner side, facing the CV axle correct? But is there a seal of some sort on the outside of the knuckle, against the wheel bearing that needs to be replaced also ?
agreed major step missed and you can buy a national seal 710573 that is same seal and fraction of the cost of an oem 90316-A001 , also there is a seal on the CV axle itself that can be replaced (forget part # off hand ) , it mates with the above mentioned seal , it is imperative that these be inspected and replaced if even questionable if you want the most service life from new bering , I always do the 710573 seal regardless as its easy if your into job that far anyways and they are inexpensive , pulled many apart where the spring from the seal was just floating around in there , always pack that groove with grease to help hold spring in there .
Very nice and straight forward. Appreciate staying on track and covering just what needs to be covered and nothing more. Great camera angles and presentation. I don't even own a Toyota, I just like seeing different ways guys do things...I'll subscribe now
Wish could upvote this video 100 times! Looks like the setup on the FJ is identical to the Hilux/Fortuner pickup/SUV of which i have several in Thailand en Australia. Many thanks. Reallly super clear !
My 06 4runner has 385,000 km on the original wheel bearing. One rear just failed. I just bought new Koyo bearings which are the same as the OEM. Can't wait to get them in.
I've done them when the old hub was 100% seized to the knuckle. I had to remove the whole knuckle and hammer it out from the back. I put the hub in the freezer and use a hydraulic press. The first time I did it, I was surprised at how easy it went together.
As an a SE and Ford master technician I enjoy watching your videos. I am curious as to why you never use any type of lubricant or penetrating spray when you disassemble or reassemble a project. Curiosity does have the better of me. Thank you for what you do in peace be with you.
Please post a video on how to maximize your MPG in any vehicle…it would go super-mega-viral!!! Gas is $3.99 here in Monument, Colorado…$32 to fill up my Prius (used to be $18-19)
We always reused the old hub (pressed it out and cut off the old race). Also used O rings to keep the bolts in place, and a dirty great hydraulic press to clag it all together.
Hello Neil I agree with what you suggested about the reusing of the original hub.. Can a good machine shop make an honest evaluation on reusing the hub and separating it from the old bearing?
Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. CCN! I put another 5 hours on the '09 Tacoma last Tuesday, delivering it to Glacier Undercoating in Kalispell, MT. Guy was happy as we visited outdoors (great weather!) and I told him I removed the spare before I left so it's in the bed. Since he didn't have to do that, he directed me into the shop and the lift, and he said he'd shoot it that evening and he'd call to let me know when to pick it up in the morning. Wow! I was expecting to spend the next day exploring downtown, but instead I found a small print list of area Uber drivers on the hotel's bulletin board, and was able to get a ride out, arriving just as Guy had parked the truck in the driveway. It was clean so didn't need the hot water pressure wash and cleaning I was prepared for ($100 since people would ask). We briefed on the future care for the NH Oil Undercoating treatment, I received an invoice (optional, $275 treatment), handed him 3 hundreds (keep the change, I'm happy) and gave them a 2022 Hot Wheels 2020 Tacoma (for grandkids or?). My sister complimented that new undercoating when I arrived after the next morning's drive south via Flathead Lake cherry orchards and Missoula to spend five hours at the ranch helping a neighbor move three bulls to their new home just up the road, remove electric fencers, wire, posts and other tasks to prepare for the new owners walk through next week (and closing the following day, we hope). Friday morning, the two of us got down there early, walked the place and sprinkled some of Dad's and Mom's ashes in places they'd appreciated. One era comes to a close and a new era begins there. Your blessing at the end of each video is a great uplift!
dog bone adapter would make torquing those with a torque wrench easy. DIY option? Grab a big scrap nut, bigger the better. Slot one face of the nut so that your box end wrench handle lays into the slot, and back cut the slot so applying torque locks the wrench into the slot. Put a socket on your torque wrench and assemble your DIY adapter such that the box end wrench is 90 degrees to the torque wrench. Now you can accurately torque any bolt that you couldn't get to before.
I did this exact job to my Fj on a parking lot and I swear the most difficult part was putting the center cap back on. Taking it off, no problems, but putting it back was a pain because it kept popping out on the opposite side that I was trying to tap it on. Eventually I got it but it took a while….more than I like to admit.
What I do on every car that has caps, I take them off the night before the job and stick them in the freezer. They shrink about a thousandth and makes them significantly easier to reinstall.
I did this on my 2011 Tacoma, months after installing the TRD Pro suspension. The Toyota truck front wheel bearings sort of get worn in to their current ride height. As soon as it's changed, the angle of the axel to the wheel bearing is also changed, and the bearing starts wearing to the new angle, and develops the typical wheel bearing noise. My bearings didn't have any of the typical behaviors with the loose feel or the marbles in a glass sound once it was off. It was still tight, but had that terrible roaring noise in the cabin. Just plan on doing bearings if you do any kind of front height adjustment especially if the truck is above 75k miles.
Toyota engineering is usually so good that it's surprising that they didn't put an access hole in the hub for the bolts. Old Fords had this hole in the rear axle flanges. A little hint is to put the hub in the freezer overnight and put the bearing in the oven at 170 degrees for a few hours. Makes the pressing easier.
Those Toyota bearing components look superb pieces of engineering. Watching the process of replacing those bearings, and remembering that this man works repairing cars , at a Toyota main dealers , if I hear a bearing wearing, I shall take it to a Toyota garage, pay up and look big .
23:57 YES! A video on how to drill out broken bolts. You would think with as many bolts and screws as I have broken that I would be better at dealing with it, but NOPE.
I always recommend finding the OEM supplier and buying the bearing directly from them. That is what I did for my Honda did some research on NTN which supplies OEM wheel bearings, turns out they own a company called BCA who manufactures OEM wheel bearings in the states for aftermarket sale. $50 vs $100 markup to buy it from Honda instead of the manufacturer.
I just did this on a Tacoma, and here's a tip: When using an air hammer or a punch and hammer on the end of the axle to break it free from the hub splines, be very careful because that force will cause the hole for the cotter pin to bulge at that spot and not let the cotter pin go all the way through. I had to drill it out when I thought I was almost done, what a pain. A hub puller might be a better option?
My 2015 1.3L Yaris XP150 90,000m needed both rear wheel bearings,heard it was common before i even purchased it. £150 for it to be done,not bad really,parts,labour.
Excellent vid. Would have liked to see replacing the rear CV/knuckle seal and a mention of the importance of seating and torquing the axle nut. This is a common issue and most people don’t have 200ft-lbs torque wrenches lying around.
I have come across high quality aftermarket pre-assembled hubs. This reduces the time to replace the bearing to about 45 minutes. The bearing I replaced is still in service 2 owners later.
Here's another place where Chevy (GM) excels. For GM light trucks using a similar style bearing, the bolts go in from the back, and the OEM bearing us supplied all put together ź no need for ordering hub, bearing, and seal separately. The tone wheel pickup is also included. Also, aftermarket parts from AC Delco (which can be considered OEM), SKF, and Moog are just as good or better than the OEM at 1/2 to 1/3 the OEM cost.
Except a toyota oem bearing will last 10x longer than any oem GM. Having those bolts on the front side of the bearing gives better access for DIYers that don't have to get beneath. Another thing Toyota excels at.
You forgot NSK Japan. They are also a supplier. MOST KOYO stuff here in the USA is COUNTERFEIT!!! KOYO has a very short list of authorized dealers and they are the most likely to be fake. Be careful!
Recent subscriber to your UA-cam channel! Great informative videos well explained and been watching as many as I can. Having worked on Lexus and Toyotas years ago this was a great refresher to watch before replacing 4Runner front bearings tomorrow for a client that takes great care of his clean daily driver here in the Northeast.
Great video AMD! I JUST saw an FJ same color while grocery shopping. Chatted w/woman on how nice it is. Husband maintains it well! I'd like to see how u tackle (stubborn) bearings on an a car because I live in the rust belt & pointers on preventative maint assembly. 👍
I would like to have your take on a slight problem I'm having with my 17 Camry. Everytime I take off to work on cold mornings it would miss shift from 4th to 5th, the rpm would go up by like 500-800 and then shift, once and never again till the next cold start. Funny thing is, I use to have a 14 model that I bought brand new that does the exact opposite. Same problem but random gears on super hot days after takeing a long road trip for example. Fluid have been checked and changed on both when due but that didn't fix it. Thank you for taking the time to share your expertise, really appreciate it!
Love all your Great videos👍Straight to the point, very informative and helpful. If you could please provide the viewers with the Toyota part numbers being replaced. Thank you
Thanks for the DIY video on the front bearings. Do you have a video on rear hub bearnings for Toyota SUV; any of 4Runner, FJ Cruiser, Tacoma, Land Cruiser, or Tundra etc? How do you diagnose and distinguish between the bad rear hub bearing or bad rear hub inner bearings? I have 2013 Toyota Prado 150 and it makes a noise similar to an offroad AT/MT tire noise when it speeds up on highway. I suspect that it is one of the rear wheel bearing. Can the problem be other inner bearings located more inlet of the rear hub bearings?
After watching this I hope my mechanic
*"Lives Forever"* ❗️❕️♻️❕️❗️
Just had all four original bearings replaced on my 08 4runner with 240k miles. Best vehicles on the road.
And they're all made in Japan as far as I know. Very reliable and with badic maintenance will easily reach 500,000 miles
Dahaaaaam looks like i have at least 100k to reach 240k

thank you for showing us how to do it, what not to do, what to watch out for, watch for orientation...all you do!
Toyota OEM bearings are built solid! Unless you go thru deep water often these last over 150k miles easy! Thanks for sharing 👍
Not for my 2015 Yaris 1.3L XP150 with 90,000m, heard it was common on those. All four have been done since new.

I went with aftermarket bearings for my GS350 because the oem cost 3 times more. It’s been 2 years since I replaced it. It’s still good.
Video tutorial so good I feel like I can not just DIY it on my 4Runner - I will actually enjoy doing it. Ah the gotchas of really good YT videos.

I just did this on a Tacoma, and here's a tip: When using an air hammer or a punch and hammer on the end of the axle to break it free from the hub splines, be very careful because that force will cause the hole for the cotter pin to bulge at that spot and not let the cotter pin go all the way through. I had to drill it out when I thought I was almost done, what a pain. A hub puller might be a better option?

If I ever get an FJ I will drive from NYC so you can service it😅
Another nice video. 👌
Most Toyota bearings are made by Koyo or Timken if the vehicle is made in the USA. Stay with the OEM bearings. Don't go aftermarket.
I would normally agree but I’ve had a bad Koyo. If you’re not wheeling the good quality aftermarkets with lifetime warrantys will work just fine.
I've had no issues with pre-pressed bolt on bearings
You forgot NSK Japan. They are also a supplier. MOST KOYO stuff here in the USA is COUNTERFEIT!!! KOYO has a very short list of authorized dealers and they are the most likely to be fake. Be careful!
I suppose anything with 60k or lifetime should do.

Do you have a video on rear hub bearnings for Toyota SUV; any of 4Runner, FJ Cruiser, Tacoma, Land Cruiser, or Tundra etc? How do you diagnose and distinguish between the bad rear hub bearing or bad rear hub inner bearings?
I have 2013 Toyota Prado 150 and it makes a noise similar to an offroad AT/MT tire noise when it speeds up on highway. I suspect that it is one of the rear wheel bearing. Can the problem be other inner bearings located more inlet of the rear hub bearings?
