Aloha, I just wanted to reach out and thank you, big time Magalo’s. I know ya apologized for low energy and what not… but you, yes you saved me. I must have watched 15 to 20 how to’s on rebuilding Axles and Hub Bearings … and not one of them EVER mentioned the O-Ring that goes on the back of the Hub bearing. (And I had mine already put together on the Spindle) Luckily for me, I caught your Tips before finishing up and dropping the Taco off the jacks. Can’t thank you enough, you are the MAN ALOHA

Working on my 2012 TRD Tacoma. This was very helpful! I bought new front wheel bearings and seals from my dealer assuming it was the whole hub assembly. Now I am putting the bearings in months later to find the dealer did not sell me the entire assembly and now I have to pull the bearings apart. My parts guy did not give me a new o-ring seal, so you really saved me a lot of grief. It totally makes sense to replace that o-ring after going through the work of rebuilding the bearing and seals. Thanks a bunch for taking the time to record, edit, and share this video. Greatly appreciated and incredibly helpful! 5/21/2023 Edited comment for anybody looking to do this. Man this is a lot of work and you need a lot of special tools. One thing the video does not show is having to pack the new bearing with wheel bearing grease. The new Toyota front wheel bearing for my 12 TRD 4x4 Taco will come apart by hand before it's installed. I notice there was only light layer of assembly grease on both bearings and did not think anything of it. After I got home and was able to research more I found that I was supposed to pack the Toyota bearing with grease before pressing it together. This totally makes sense as there was just a smear of light grease in the new bearing when I pressed it back together. I ran out of time and only did one side. Thankfully I did not do both, because now I have to redo the first because it's not packed with grease and will end up failing. I am writing this comment hoping to save the next person the expense of having to buy another bearing and redo the job again.

Great video! I loved that you didn’t spend a lot of time jawing but gave great instruction and good video coverage. You cleared up a few of my questions including how to install back seal. Thanks!

Thanks for actually showing the full installation including gaskets and seals unlike most of the other videos showing this process. Big UPS!

This is helpful and very informative. One of very few tutorial video that mentions turning the other wheel to assist with removing the axle from spindle. This is also one of the few video that actually re-assembles the OEM wheel bearing and hub assembly instead of installing an aftermarket that comes in one piece. I think you missed the torque specs on the LCA bolts but otherwise this is the most complete video I was looking for. I’d recommend updating your title for more hits (OEM wheel bearing assembly).

You just saved me so much time trying to get that race off the flange. Thanks.

Finally! A good video on changing the bearing and not the hub assembly!

Excellent video, best well informed step by step, great job,

Very helpful Well explained

This is the video I've been looking for very helpful!

Dude, these are great! Thanks.

For anyone watching that doesn’t want to spend $700 on a hub press kit as depicted, HF sells a MADDOX Front wheel drive bearing remover/install kit for about $119. Great video btw!

Perfectly helpful!

Great video thanks for making it.

Good job

bien bien j'adore

That hub puller looks to be very helpful. You think I can just replace the dust seal only, where the outer cv axle mates with the knuckle? Thank you

great video

This is a great video. Thank you for posting, but you didn’t show the reconnection of the bolts in the lower control arm. Is that very straightforward or is there any special trick to it? I’m about to go into that step and trying to avoid any big trouble.

This is a great video! Thank you! I was replacing my CV axle and after I got it out of the bearing assembly I noticed the bad bearing seal, the one that backs against the outer CV joint/boot. My bearing seems fine, is there a way to replace the seal from the back (inner side) of the assembly? Or should I just extend my project and go ahead and replace the bearing assembly anyway?

Dig the screw driver trick. Better then the stud Riff Haha. 👍🏻

Just came across your channel. You have some cool videos man. Thumbs up.

can u make a vedio for a 4×2 toy tacoma, bearing it self install

Great how to video! I’m about to do this on my Tacoma. Are the new wheel bearings good to go out of the box or do I need to pack them with grease prior to install? I’m using OEM if that helps. Thank you.

Did you do that cut with like a smaller die grinder wheel? I can't imagine getting a 4 1/2 inch wheel close enough to the hub to cut the race.

ABS sensor? Did you remove?

What are those two nuts you’re removing near the lower ball joint to pull the axel out? I’m changing my hub assembly tonight but nervous to do that spindle seal, can I just do the bearing and keep that seal on hand incase it fails?

Au cas ou on monte le roulement es que y'a toujours un petit jeu quel peut être la cause ?

The seal in the back that you used a hammer and chisel does that go in until flush with the outer flange? Plus the on the cv axle there is one that was messed up with one we are doing. Is that a seal or called something else. Auto zone can’t find that part.

One click when you torque?

5:10 Can you remove the inner race from the flange with a bearing remover kit or other way without breaking it even if we dont need it?

If you’re replacing the wheel bearing with the hub assembly do you just unbolt those four bolts holding it in and it all comes loose? Or will you need a pulled tool? I’d be replacing my front wheel bearing with the hub assembly already built on and ready for assembly

I see the way you didn't remove tie rod when you push out the cv axles? Would that ok to remove cv axles by this method? Would there be problem to put back cv axles without remove tie rod? Thank you.

Gave you a like, but either gotta speak up, especially at the important times, or get a better mic. Thanks for posting. I'll never freaking do that in a driveway. Pay a mechanic!

Part numbers?

Could you please tell me where you purchased the tool to pull and then press the new bearing in. Or at least give me the brand name so I can research it.

Look similar to the toyota hilux hub/bearing assembly.

I have a summer cold, and skwisgaar has a summer cold and pickles has a summer cold and adv4x4 has a summer cold. Just a heads up this is gonna be a bad show.
