This video gave my the info and know how to replace a front wheel bearing on my '06 Highlander without a press. I also bought the same press kit and I'm very happy with the quality. (The threads on the screw held up just fine...one of the washers got mangled but that's no big deal). FWIW, here's my story... I live in a rust state and no way was it easy-peasy to remove the bearing...in fact, the bearing with 355,000 miles on it was not coming out using my Ridgid mid-torque impact wrench. It didn't even budge. To avoid spending a whole day using heat and trying to partially cut the remaining bearing, I bit the bullet and took the knuckle to a local repair shop...cost was $40 (including tip). Mechanic told me it put up a fight on his 30 ton press. Installing the new bearing was very easy using the press kit. I thoroughly cleaned inside the hub with rust penetrant and a very, very fine grit scotch brite (maroon color) pad. In addition, I put the bearing in the freezer overnight...coated inside the hub with light weight machine oil (20w) ... the bearing slid right in without putting any strain on the Ridgid. When installing the hub, make sure the adapter bushing plate fits inside the snap ring and makes contact with and covers the inner race of the bearing. See The Car Care Nut YT where he explains in more detail.

By far the very best "I can do this wheel bearing job at home" video I have ever seen!

[@jeffpacetti5800]

First press-in wheel bearing video that I’ve seen that didn’t use a press. Not having a press was my obstacle. Just ordered the bearing press kit like yours from Amazon!!

[@benk.9889]

Awesome tutorial, thanks! I'm gonna be tackling this in the next month

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

Hey thanks Ben 👍

[@ItsMeGaryG]

At the end you mention that the press kit allows for pressing in and out while still connected which is mostly true except for removing the hub which requires a slide puller if you leave it all attached. By taking it all out you were able to avoid the puller and use your socket to knock it out from the back.

[@kovalenkoihor4325]

Exactly. That what I was going to say

Great video. Consider using impact rated sockets.

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

Thanks 👍. Good advice!

[@caliboy2498]

Luv to see ur video I just had Amigo install new CV axle and wheel bearings on my 2005 Sienna. I just got this part of 170k miles no noises before. Now after putting all factory … by local Amigo shop now I hear all sounds on sharp turns on high speed I hear roar or hum noise. Don’t know what he did I m saddened any idea bro

I have the same bearing tool kit and a 1/2" makita impact and I'm having a problem getting the bearing out. It's about a third-half way out and it's. not wanting to budge. Any advise or tips to help with this will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.

[@timmcquerry6068]

Axel nut What size?You said 30mm, I looked it up and found 31mm

[@pedroflores3233]

Where do you buy that box tool

[@cachasbanuelos5516]

It's no bad if the center nut is too tight, didn't affect the bearing ?

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

@@cachasbanuelos5516 If the axle nut is too tight it has the potential of putting too much load on the new bearing and wear it out faster.

[@michaelnapoleone3594]

I don't. Have a 29 m.m. socket, how would you press the hub out ? I have the same bearing install and remove kit.

[@admiral_robinson]

Does this wheel bearing work good with ABS sensor?

[@Airmanmx1]

So what’s stopping you from just pulling the bearing without disconnecting the knuckle from the control arms? Yeah I get that the passenger side CV Axle is long but you can use a rope to pull it away for better clearance when you get to use the 1/2” impact

Can you spend what kind of lubricant you using?? Or were do I buy this thanks

[@steventhompson299]

Great job. Thanks for sharing

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

Hey thanks Billy 👍

[@JTapia512]

I usually put a pry bar in-between the studs or I'll put a screw driver in the fins of the rotors so I can torque the axel nut.

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

Thanks for the tips Jose! Those are quick alternatives to putting the tire back on 👍

[@jestep9]

Great video! Can you borrow that tool kit at a parts store?

[@bullydungeon9631]

thank you a lot

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

@@bullydungeon9631 You're welcome 👍

[@martinreddington9458]

When pressing the hub I assembled the press tool as instructed and separated the race from bearing. It seems that on the last step of pressing the hub that the disk should be installed with the flat side as you started to do at first.

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

Hey Martin thanks for the comment 👍. Just in case you're thinking you need a new bearing, a little separation is ok. When you tighten the CV axle down it will suck everything back together nice and tight. If you have any questions or thoughts feel free to comment 👍

[@cheeseman9967]

When all you have is a wood chisel, everything is a door jamb!🤣

[@fidellsam2478]

great job 👍👍👍👍👍

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

Hey thanks!

[@kevinf7016]

Would this process be similar to a 2008 front wheel bearing replacement?

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

The process should be the same 👍. Sometimes torque specs change with different years so I'm not sure if that's the same or not.

[@kovalenkoihor4325]

I hope so. Will let you know in 2 weeks. If I forget, let me know to let you know

[@АлександрАндреев-к2ы]

Attention, an error occurred, time at 12.14. The insert will rest against the retaining ring and not fit against the bearing. When you start to compress: the inner ring of the bearing will shift relative to the outer ring and damage the bearing balls. After such installation the bearing will not last long.

[@GO-zg7ox]

That was great! Is the press kit a loaner one for the big stores? if so which one? Thanks!

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

Thanks! This is a purchased set you can get for under $100. It's possible it can be rented from the parts store but I'm not sure. I put links in the description for all the tools needed to complete this repair 👍

[@thomasgranville3604]

when I saw that Ryobi impact take that bearing out I laughed. FYI a press sometimes has difficulties taking that bearing out or pressing it back in! it's not as easy as it looks in the video to be honest. but good luck trying it! I would recommend a press 100%.

[@eliasbeltran2389]

Great job man . What is the name I should use to order that tool? Thank uu.

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

Thanks! There is a link to the tool in the description 👍

[@kovalenkoihor4325]

Can it be, that wheel bearing is built in to the hub? It sems like I'm trying to press mine and I don't even see the border of the bearing.

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

Make sure the snap ring is removed and you are pressing it out in the right direction. It is in there pretty tight but it will come out. Don't give up 👊

[@kovalenkoihor4325]

@@ValleyMobileAutomotive All went good. I just needed a big wrench to hold the nut, because the force needed was that high that the nut startet to spin. PS: BTW, I don't think you've done it right pressing the hub at 12:16. The black circle you've taken to lay on the bearing was as big to lay on the stop-ring, not the bearing itself. And as result, when you were pushing the hub, the inner race of the bearing was able to be pushed out of outer race as far at depth of the stop-ring. So like 3-4 mm, which for sure damages the bearing (not known to which extent, maybe it's negligable). To be safe with the bearing, the correct diameter would be just to lay on the bearing and inside the stop-ring, not on it (and I think it's important to make the process as safe as possible for the new bearing. ) Or hub should be pressed without setting the stop-ring (it's not important at the moment of pressing the hub to hold the bearing inside the knuckle, because the force is to the inner race, not the outer). Besides that, excellent tutorial. Was able to make it watching this video.

[@scottyparsonas6018]

Is it necessary to replace the hub when changing the bearing on this vehicle?

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

Good question. It's not necessary but it's a whole lot easier. To reuse the old hub you have to either cut off or torch off the left over bearing race.

[@scottyparsonas6018]

@@ValleyMobileAutomotiveThank you for replying. That you mention it, using a new hub makes sense saving time, regardless if you have the tools or not.

[@osvaldofrancoperez38]

Great video ! How you call that tool kit !?

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

Thanks! It's called a wheel bearing press. There is a link in the description 👍

[@drakeforte568]

When do you know to stop pressing? Will it bottom out and will just stop? Thanks.

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

Yep, it will bottom out. You'll notice a change in sound/feel of the tool. You should also be able to see a lip on the front of the knuckle with the bearing out. That lip will stop it from pressing in more.

[@drakeforte568]

One more q. Whats the torque rating on that Ryobi impact? I can't believe it's able to pull the bearings - that's some torque right there. Thanks

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

@@drakeforte568 This one is rated at 300 foot pounds. Plenty of force to get this job done 👍. They also came out with a new one with higher torque ratings if you feel you need more.

[@James-hv1pu]

What are you spraying on it?

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

Just a lubricant for the tool. Nothing special, I think it's a bicycle chain lube in a spray can.

[@TheNotYetProSkaters]

What’s the labor time on something like that

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

Book time is 2.5hrs one side or 3.5hrs both sides.

[@kovalenkoihor4325]

@@ValleyMobileAutomotive DO you recommend to change both together? I would suspect they die almost at the same time more or less

[@Exiber2174]

Speed my time up doing the entire front end on an 05 sienna and it is not to fun

[@tgw230]

14:13 all the torque specs, except brake caliper bracket, that’s at 15:26

[@jeffpacetti5800]

I ordered the same bearing press kit as seen in this video. I’ve tried using it on 4 different wheel bearings now and it just doesn’t work. I end up have to use the discs with a 5 pound sledge. I lubed up the bolt, nuts and washers too but can’t get it to work using a breaker bar on one side and a ratchet on the other…much less and impact wrench and my bare hand like in this video. Frustrating!

Too old and too rusty
