Viktor, your videos are off the charts good. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge. I'm working on my 2010 Tundra all the time, and your videos I found recently are helping a ton. Thanks again. Looks like you're in yyc as well. ;) Would love to throw some work your way if interested...

TY for video I was looking for the info on the seals. So I always put Copper Anti-seize on the Hub Flange shaft, it helps keep if from "Seizing" in the inner bearing races. I work on a lot of beach driven trucks and have had a number basically be welded to the shaft from salt damage, so now EVERYTHING is Anti-seize if is just metal to metal connection and doesn't call for grease or oil lol.

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Good suggestion!

[@bobbygindal3745]

Viktor, thanks for the awesome video! I am looking forward to checking out the rest of your channel. I wanted to ask about the the link you have that sells the hub, bearing and bolts together. Do those come assembled? And if not, do they come with the outer axle seal?! Thanks

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Hi, I would assume that they would be assembled together with the outer hub seal. I do not believe the package would include the axle seal. Just to clarify, I am not the seller of the item, I just find the items you need to do the job and provide links to save you time and possibly earn a small commission from the sale of the item. Thanks!

[@bobbygindal3745]

@@Viktor_G_Automotive thank you for your help! I did order these hubs and they came with everything, bearing pressed on the hub with the outer seal in between, and the inner spindle axle seal and even the axle cotter pin as well. The bearing looks to be an oem koyo bearing however, the hub, wheel studs and both seals are outsourced and not oem. Definitely a bargain with good parts where it matters. Hope this helps anyone else wondering the same! I also grabbed the 39mm as well from your affiliate link! Have a great day and keep up the great videos!

@@bobbygindal3745 excellent, thank you for the update and the support!

Will a bad wheel bearing cause a buzzing feeling in the steering wheel at higher speeds?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

@@hammy9760 potentially, yes, but without being there to diagnose it, I can’t guarantee that it’s the actual problem.

[@hammy9760]

@@Viktor_G_Automotive thanks for the reply. I have a 2012 tundra 4wd with 90k. I just had to replace a rear wheel bearing so just considering doing both the front since I noticed the buzzing feeling.

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

@@hammy9760 sounds good 👍

[@helios7744]

Did I miss the part where you greased the bearing or comes pre-greased?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

It is a sealed unit, greased from factory, cannot be taken apart.

[@helios7744]

Thanks! Great vid btw.

@@helios7744 thanks for the positive feedback!

[@bryantaskins4448]

If I buy a Toyota OEM hub assembly and wheel bearing can they be pressed together? So they sell it as one unit?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Toyota doesn’t sell the complete assembly pressed together, but you could buy all the parts separately and ask a shop to press it together for you.

Hi Viktor great content you're putting there. I have some issues with my 2010 rx350 that I need help with. How can I talk to you about it? Email?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Hi, thank you for the positive feedback! You can ask your question here in comments and I will answer if I have a chance to do so.

[@jonathanattia2164]

The push to start often doesn't work. Even tho the key has battery. It always unlocks and locks the car when I approach it. However a lot of times I press the start button and it doesn't turn the car on. The car doesn't say key not detected or anything. And when I set it to passive smart key where you have to touch the key to the button it always made the sound that means it recognized the key, but it would turn on. That happens often after a rain.

[@jonathanattia2164]

The second question is I have some knocking noises from underneath the car when I break a bit hard or when turning the steering wheel all the way. Both mostly on low speeds. The dealership said it's coming from the rear catalytic converter. But when I tried to touch and move it around it wasn't loose at all and didn't make any sounds that indicate something is not connected well or broken

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

​@@jonathanattia2164 Whenever I hear from the customer than an issue may be rain related, I always start by doing a thorough investigation into water leaks. The first thing I would do is pull off both kick panel covers on the driver and passenger side. Behind them, there are many junction connectors. Very often water leaks between the windshield and the body due to an incorrectly installed windshield end up inside those connectors as they are located directly below where the water entry point is. Remove the covers and methodically disconnect each connector one by one and thoroughly inspect each for presence of water or green/blue corrosion on connector pins.

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

​@@jonathanattia2164 This is not a common issue that I have run into. Since the dealership has looked into it, unfortunately, I don't see how I can question their diagnosis without being able to drive the vehicle and listen to the noise.

[@davynyudu3841]

hello where can we purchase the koyo bearing?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

You can check with your local automotive parts store, or maybe see if you can contact Koyo directly.
