That was a very well done bearing job. Very well explained, super good cameraman which I appreciated the close-up shots which I find super important. Big thumbs up guys!

Thanks. Lots of tips and reasons why. This is the most detailed and 2nd gen Matrix specific video I've found. Going to tackle this on both sides of my 2009 XR Matrix, with the larger engine and bearings and flanges. Got an impact, but no press so I'll be borrowing that bearing puller kit with the threaded rod to pull em' out and in. Hoisted aboard your advice about outer and inner races and why you need to torque the CV nut, thanks. Like you I got new flanges with the bearings, so that much should make it easier. I'll be using a rotary wire brush in the drill to clean out the circlip channels and bearing runs, instead of your sandblaster(lucky duck). Bought new ball joints (220,000 miles) and tie rods, which I installed grease nipples in, cause if it moves, I like to grease it with synthetic grease(displaces water too). My torque wrench is letting go, so I might have to borrow my buddy's. Only got 40 years out of that Gray unit, POJ! Thanks again for all the tips. Feeling confident enough to tackle this FWD now. Loving the 2.4 Camry engine and extra 5th gear in this little subcompact. Doesn't work, goes like stink and still gets great mileage(compared to my 5.9 Mopars)

This video is very helpful shown every step of procedure and particular comments.

I now see why Toyota shop wants $450 to do this job. Nicely done.

Thanks for the video. Good job!

Good job

So nobody has invented some good pliers specifically for these kind of snap rings? Just wondering 😊

Just one question? Was you affraid the abs sincer bolt was gonna round off?

How many kilometers on that matrix?

Careful brother, wear gloves, and god bless,, when I saw how hard it's to install this crap I'm going to buy two loaded steering knuckles and give my mechanic some $ to install them for me ,, stupid Toyota they should make that easier not a nut job

I officially hate Toyota after watching this video. I'll stick to the 6 point axle nuts and 1 piece bearing assembly on my Nissan from now... But thank you for the helpful instructional!
