Just used this video to repair my car successfully today 💪🏽

Thank you so much for filming this! Definitely helped me out tremendously when performing this repair on a family members RX330. I had this video queued up in the garage while I worked lol. Excellent job explaining and sharing!

How did you realign those 3 pins with black actuator body?

This video was exactly what I needed. Thanks for showing so much detail about bending that dimpled nut

Hi,does the rx not have a speed sensor on the rear of the hub?? It looked like it was missing

Nice video and glad it came apart so easily, I hope mine comes apart that easy. As for those bottom guide pins, the bores must be cleaned of ALL the old grease before and clean grease applied only to the pin bushing, it’s best to buy a new boot kit, clean the pin and bore then grease the pin.

Good vid, one of the only I could find about strut disassembly! I have done this a few times, but wanted conf for the Rx330 on what to order. There are a lot of parts listed and not much info. One tip, if you remove the other side sway bar link, you can rotate the bar a bit for some more play and get the end link in. Hope it helps someone! Thank you.

Is this front wheel drive

Thank you for the tutorial Tim! I have a loud humming from the back that I suspect and wanted to see what replacing them would entail. This helped a lot

Thanks for a good video, this was the info i needed. Best regards

Because of you, i'm able to do mine. Thanks sir.

Im about to buy KYB G sruts for mine. How is the ride after 3 years. Are they still performing well?

Thanks Tim.. just did both rear bearing in about 2hrs thanks to your video.. 2 things that might help viewers. 1 to get bearing out of dust shield I found placing dust cover with e brake attached inside the opening of a 2.5 gallon bucked then whacking it with a 3lb hammer popped it right out. 5 gallon buck does not work..too big and damages dust cover. 2nd is your new axel bolt may be a 6 point so you'll also need a 30mm 6 point socket. 12 point you used to take off won't work.

Is this similar to the rx300 2nd ?

Why did you change out the bearings ? Was it making noise ?

I wonder if there is a way to stick the top nuts Into the socket , to prevent dropping them .

Thanks. Best video for this job online. It really helps. Great resource for information. My only input: I would suggest removing the vehicle speed sensor from the hub before removing the wheel bearing hub. Once the axle is loose, it could damage that sensor. Oh, and the measurement for the spindle nut is taken from the valleys of the 12 point, not the peaks. This is very confusing since there are reportedly 2 different size bolts on the rx330 - 30mm and 32mm. AND the peaks on a 30mm nut will measure 32mm!!! Anyway, to anyone reading, if the peaks of the nut measure roughly 32mm (as did mine), you have a 30mm (axle) spindle nut. Measure straight across the middle from peak to peak.

“Cooked Shark” 😂😂😂

How do you get it to turn

Tim, Thank you for posting the video it helped me out greatly! . I love your soft way of explaining how to change the bearing. It's people like you that make the world go around. :)

That's a good review. Are the bolts that hold the strut to the knuckle offset, so camber can be adjusted by rotating those bolts?

Good thought, about lining up the hole of the rotor with the correct hole in the hub. I wonder how many guys who do brakes will remember to do that. Some don't even adjust tension on the star wheel after.

Are you going to do black paint

Nice job. And thanks for putting this video up to convince me that doing this myself would’ve been a total pain in the balls. Well worth the $500 they charged me for both sides including the parts.

What size socket did you use for the axle nut

thank you very much for the step by step video. i changed my 2004 lexus rx330 drivers side rear in March 2020, three months later the passenger side rear is going out and so i go back to youtube and rewatched your instructions, step by step on the money. i wish good things for you.

ihave a front wheel drive model 2006 the bearing came out great but its stuck inside the dust cover /e brake assembly. any suggestions?

Great job! Thank you. Very clear. Wish you would have shown us the struggle getting it back in as we could have learned more. Is the bump-stop thing something that can be purchased like from Rock Auto or someplace? I would like to have it on hand in case I run into the same problem you did.

Anyone trying this dont buy your hub assembly from duralast(autozone) the holes in the front face arent large enough for the flanged bolt or the socket.

Hi: First of all, the video was really helpful; I figure that what you walked through saved me $400-500 by doing the job myself versus what the dealer or even an independent shop was quoting. A few things I did differently, first I order the FCS quick strut assembly that came with spring preinstalled so I didn't have to deal with compressors or other items. Using those also took less time, plus felt safer and I didn't need to deal with the side to side tensioning issues. Vehicle for me is a 2004 RX330 AWD, so all the items you pointed out were what I needed. It was about $100 per strut to buy the assembly on Amazon. I noticed that the two big bottom bolts were some type of white coating, not sure if it was original grease or some type or threadlocker. I did not grease the bolts, but did put medium blue thread lockjust under the nut on them when reinstalling. Also, to get the bottom bracket to fit into place, I needed to push the hub up and inward, not sure if you experienced that, I was able to push them up enough with my hands and my knee to get the first bolt in, then little more pushing & wiggling to fit the second bolt. I didn't need to jack the hub assembly up, the sway bar link fit with just a little wiggling and pressing on the sway bar. I also dropped a nut from the old struts when removing them, then one of the new ones when installing; like you I am wondering where that thing went. I was able to reuse one of the old nuts, one difference was the original struts had 14mm nuts, the new ones 15mm. Using a deep socket helped not drop a socket into that space, but in cleanup I am still missing one impact socket. Thanks again for taking the time to make the video; hopefully it will be helpful to others as well. Cheers

How long did it take to make the swap?

Thanks a Ton for all the tips. It was Great that you point out in being careful of not damaging the shaft threads. Great point!!!! Blessings.

I didn't know Bruce Willis did tutorial videos..

Just did this for a 2006 RX400h. What a pain! Separating the backing plate and hub assembly required disassembly of the brake shoes, removing the brake cable, and placing the backing plate on jack stands in order to have a full swing with 5 lb sledge. Still took 10 good whacks. If you live in the rust belt, this job will not be as easy...

Took me 1 hour and a shop said 2.6 hpours....what a scam. I did watch a few videos whichs heps in reducing time...good video.

Thank you. Was a informative and well done video. I have a 2005 RX330. Got the parts needed and will be doing my right rear.
