Hey guys, in this video, I'll be replacing the rear axle wheel bearing on my 4th Gen 2003 Toyota 4Runner. I'll show how to remove the axle shaft, press out the old wheel bearing assembly, and press the new one on. I'll also demonstrate how to remove the old axle seal and install a new one. I'll go over all the torque specs and the tools you'll need to do this job yourself.
This process will be very similar for many other vehicles like the Toyota Tacoma, Toyota FJ Cruiser, Toyota Tundra, Toyota T100, Toyota Land Cruiser, Lexus LX570, Lexus GX470 / GX460, and Toyota Sequoia.
Here are links to the tools I'm using:

Fantastic, Paul! Excellent presentation with little wasted time! No filler video and corny music! I will follow exactly your sequence. I didn't realize all the extra needed tools. Maybe get a local machine shop to press on and off the bearing. Thanks much!

This video, the editing, and your workmanship (attention to cleanliness and detail) are top shelf! 🍻 💪 Thank you for putting this together. 2005 Toyota 4Runner with ALL of the same issues. LR axle seal puking onto parking brake shoes and drums. BEarings howling, Metal debris inside rear axle housing that will need special attention. To the masses, Dorman makes a complete axle assembly with bearings and backing plate already assembled and ready to bolt in. For 2003-2008 4Runners it's PN# 926-141 and 926-142. This will save folks from having to invest in a press and special adapter tools. Also makes the job more accessible for DIY folks less experienced in car repair. LIKE if this comment helped you (otherwise I'm keeping to myself in the future). 👍 ✌

Just a little advice as I did not see you mention it in this video... There is a small metal retainer ring above the metal ring on top of the bearing make sure to remove before trying to press the bearing out or you will ruin your tools and bent bolts. ✌️💪👌👍🙏

Snap on makes two tools that make Toyota e brake shoes easy to service! Not gonna find it at Hobo Freight 😂 ****Anyone doing this buy the NSK Japanese bearings from rock auto. There are ALOT of counterfeit KOYO bearings out there. Honestly they don’t allow most companies to sell their stuff. NSK is a quality Japanese bearing company Toyota/Lexus contract with. No need to spend $250 per side. Great video never the less!

Some things I realized after doing this job to make it much easier. 1.) Get the Toyota parking break tool, I got mine from the National Tool Warehouse. This tool makes taking apart your parking break off and re putting it back on super easy!! 2.) Buy a new axle clip, the dealer sold it for $4 3.) If you live in a place where the roads are salted go ahead buy new bolts that cinnect the axle shaft to the axle housing. Will prevent break off in the future. 4.) Buy a new abs bolt $3 dollars at the dealer. 5.) Buy your wheelbearing from Rock Auto as its OE, which its better than the KOYO OEM for $78 with shipping. This wheelbearing from Rock Auto is the same one used in the factory when built. Worked gred and saved me $100s 5. Rent the tools to separate the wheelbearing and repress it from auto zone. I bought a tool from amazon to remove the last peice of the bearing that was stuck on the axle shaft and it destroyed my Break Drum deflector, where the lugnuts are held. This made me had to get a new wheelbearing because it wouldnt turn with this damage. Rock Auto returned the bearing. The new drum reflector with the gasket was about $35, so trust me rent the tools from autozone. 6. Follow all the steps on this video and you can have this done in 3 hour max. I would had got it done in an hour or two if i had the emergency break tool and rented the tool from autozone. This job was not hard at all and i saved $800 from doing it myself rather than the dealer.

Very nice, thank you for all the detail! A lot of work, but if you go to dealer, a lot of $$. Even buying all the tools and a press you still come out ahead unless you screw something up.

FYI: it is C-clip not C clamp. Good video. You can cut the race with a dremel tool and use a chisel to split the race. Be careful not to score the shaft. A slight nick is OK.

I thought the axel is captured within the rear differential by a c-clip or similar. Maybe it's different on a Toyota.

Yes, toyota truck axles are pressed on to the wheel bearing and bolt to the axle housing. US domestics use the C clips in the 3rd member.
