The FJ Cruiser is BACK in the shop to replace the front wheel bearings which we looked at in a previous video!
This wheel bearing is a similar setup from other Toyota trucks like the 4runner and the tacoma.
See the original video for this truck here:

I'll walk you through the process of replacing them including pressing them. Many debates about this one on the procedure but I'll share with you some tips and tricks from the real world doing these very frequently.
Hope this helps DIY mechanics with Toyota Trucks wheel bearings.

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!

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.

@michael184272 2 жыл бұрын

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 ?

@TheCaperfish Жыл бұрын

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 .

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.

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.

@mattb9664 2 жыл бұрын

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.

Eventually I got it but it took a while….more than I like to admit.

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.

@patrickzambori473 2 жыл бұрын

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.

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!

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.

I've seen bearing hubs put on other vehicles, and they torqued the spindle nut down pretty tight. Those must have a different design where the nut does not come up against the bearing, but the hub itself which is held on the spindle only and does not have a part of it bolted against a backing plate.
