Front Wheel Bearings & Brakes Replacement | 1989 - 1995 Toyota Pickup/Hilux RWD

Baby Yota is my 1992 RWD Toyota Pickup & he is in need of some new front wheel bearings. Since the bearings need to be separated to replace the brake rotors, I'm going to replace the brake rotor as well. And since I'm replacing the brake rotors, I'm going to replace the brake pads as well.

I'm not a mechanic and I don't really have any special tools so take my advice with a grain of salt. That being said, I've been driving around on these new wheel bearings and brakes for a while without any issues.
The process will be different on an older or newer truck and it will be different on the 4WD models. Again, this is a RWD 1989 - 1995 Toyota Pickup or Toyota Hilux video.

What’s the nut size on the wheel bearing? Doing this tomorrow and wanna torque it with a wrench since I don’t have good intuition on torque ratings

@bradleybarringer 3 жыл бұрын

Sorry just saw your reply, I believe it is a 54mm nut for the wheel bearing. Pretty large haha!

@joshmuldonian5039 3 жыл бұрын

Literally hand tight only. Over tightening even once will destroy the bearings. Hand tight, spin rotor back and forth as you tighten and back off. Repeat several times. Tighten hand tight and put the Cotterpin in place to prevent the nut from backing out. I cannot stress enough do not go beyond hand tight.

Hey friend - I just was working on my 1989 2wd sr5, and the main axle nut was 30mm.

Rather than loosening the bleeder valve on the caliper, I believe you can just take the cap off your brake fluid reservoir when compressing the piston. Great and helpful video though my friend, going to do brakes on my 1990 soon. Thanks for the video 👍

I used a mechanical puller to press the caliper open too, it becomes just as good as a purpose caliper spreader tool.

Found this super helpful, I'm in the middle of doing the brakes on my 1990. Also if you've got a pair of crutches lying around with no use and no impact, they work great as leverage bars for loosening up those tight nuts and bolts or even for torquing where ever you're able to fit it of course

Tip: when separating the hub from the rotor just lay it flat on the back of rotor and use a pry bar between the stud and rotor and tap adjacent side with a hammer it will pop loose then swap sides with the hammer and pry bar it comes apart easily without causing any damage, good luck everyone

thx bro, like to point out (which you show) the caliper slide pins come out first, then you can get to the caliper bracket. Kind of unique setup...thought I might have to take the lines loose but I dont. Bucket to hold the caliper is a nice tip too, thanks

@flinch622 7 ай бұрын

Torque spec on the rotor bolts is 47ft-lb. Guide pins are 65, and caliper mount ["torque plate"] bolts are 80. If you change hoses, torque to caliper at 22ft-lb [and beware of re-using copper crush washers].

Thanks, man - you just saved me several hours by sharing your experience changing the front end brakes and bearings. I was not planning on doing the bearings - just the brakes - but seeing how the bearings and brakes are integrated - it kinda seems like I should take advantage while I'm pulling the wheel assembly apart. Can you confirm those 5 bolts attaching the rotor to the bearing housing are 14mm? I'm asking because I think mine might be larger - sort of thinking someone put the wrong bolts in. One tip I might humbly add: if your bolts are stubborn, an overnight soak in PB blaster can make a world of difference. Also - a tip if you are doing this the 1st time: pull off both tires, but keep one side intact while you do the other, so if you can't recall exactly how everything went together, you can use the untouched side as a guide.

update: I checked, and they are indeed 14mm bolts.

If you install new bearings you need to drive the vehicle for a few miles and re check the bearing adjustment. If the races and rollers are in good shape no need for replacement. Yours looked good from what I saw?

@bradleybarringer 2 жыл бұрын

Good advice! Also ya mine were probably good but they're like $3 each and I don't actually know the last time they were replaced so I changed them since I had the hub off 👍

@tempura7690 3 жыл бұрын

I have to same truck, I was wondering how I can take off the wheel bearing hub assembly to change my broken wheel stud since the new one cannot fit while the hub is attached to the rotor. Do you think I can take off the five bolts holding it to the rotor and wack off the assembly? Or do I have to take off the nut for the wheel bearing. Best

@bradleybarringer 3 жыл бұрын

I don't think you'll be able to get the wheel stud out unless you take the hub off at the bearing. The rotor is between the hub and spindle so even if you took the bolts out you wouldn't really be able to access the backside of the hub. You might be able to squeeze the old bolt out from between the two when separated but you'll never be able to press the new stud in while assembled.

@richardgieser6122 Жыл бұрын

@@bradleybarringerIf you can get the new stud in position you should be able to "press" the new stud in place by simply putting on the lug nut {without the wheel} and tightening it with just normal socket wrench force, I did this about 30 years ago on a Dodge as best as I can remember. Washers may be needed to pull the stud all the way up to get past the unthreaded shoulder on the stud.

Nice project truck. I saw your radio video, no AC? Where do you live? My aging 1994 needs various work. I bought in ‘98 and it recently became my primary vehicle again. Changed radio right away. Did changing the bearings make much difference? I need to do brakes and rotors and debating a bearing change.

@bradleybarringer 2 жыл бұрын

Sounds like a cool truck! I would recommend doing the bearings if you're already doing the rotors. For me it made a big difference because mine were worn and loud. But they're pretty cheap and not too difficult to replace and you'll have to remove the hub from the spindle to change the rotors either way. So for a little extra work you don't have to mess with it for a long time.

hi, for your toyota hilux, did you convert drum brakes to disc? or is it original discs?

@bradleybarringer 2 жыл бұрын

I have original discs on the front and original drums on the rear. Hoping to upgrade at some point though!

@richardgieser6122 Жыл бұрын

Speaking of the front brakes, I have a '74 Hilux that came with drums and I found '75 Hilux spindle assemblies at a wrecking yard and calipers that bolted right up, no change to the master cylinder and they seem to be working fine for several years now, work better and much easier to service than the original '74 dual wheel cylinder drums.
