Replace Front Wheel Hub and Bearing with Portable Press! - Toyota Camry - Easy How To

No need for a high torque impact driver, 6 foot breaker bar or shop press to get out and install FWD bearings! I combined components of two kits (FWD Front Wheel Drive Bearing Adapters Puller Press Replacement Installer Removal Tool Kit - AND- a 10 Ton Hydraulic Knockout Punch Hole Driver Kit) to squeeze out old bearings and squeeze in new bearings in steering knuckles.
To squeezed out old bearings, I've been using my high torque impact wrench to torque twist the forcing screw nut. This places wear and tear on my impact wrench, makes a lot of noise and runs down the battery pack. Also, depending on the quality of the hub and bearing adapter kit, the forcing screw and nut may wear to to point where galling can ruin them.
So what did I do? I screwed in the forcing screw into the hydraulic cylinder and used one of the knockout punch threaded adapters to adjust the screw pull length. The hydraulic cylinder has about 1 inch of travel. After the bearing has moved 1 inch, I release then tension on the forcing screw, remove the slack using the punch adapter then continue pressing the bearing out.
The hub and bearing replacement was performed on a 1999 Toyota Camry.

Can you tell me the model number on both the hydraulic pump and bearing press kit. I ordered the press kit you have listed ( Blue) but the hydraulic pump I have looks to be the same company the forcing bolt in the press kit is a different size. The pliers u recommended worked great. Thanks again

[@hardlymovingpro]

I recommend you go to a local Harbor Freight near you with the bearing press kit's forcing screw. Then see if the forcing screw thread pattern matches the threads in the punch kit hydraulic adapter. Another thing you can do is replace the short forcing screw in the punch kit with one that's the same length in your bearing press kit. Go to your local machine shop and see if they can help you out finding a supplier.

[@Andre-tc1wj]

If my eyes did not deceive me, the steering knuckle on your car is exactly OPPOSITE of most vehicles (and videos) I have seen? Your bearing is removed and installed from the backside, assuming the extension with the two holes is for the strut?

That's correct with Toyota steering knuckle bearings. Some vehicles have front and rear snap rings where you decide direction of removal.

Make it easier on yourself. Take the whole spindle off and while the new bearings in the freezer, heat up the spindle with a propane torch. I've never pressed in bearings, they just fell right in.

[@nathanl7795]

What you didn't mention is that if you have a abs sensor the bearing needs to go in a certain direction. The magnetic side needs to go in to where the abs sensor is. If you don't do it that way you will be pissed off cause you need to buy another bearing and start over.

[@hardlymovingpro]

With Honda's and BMWs yes ... Not Toyota. Toyota uses an abs ring for their sensors.

[@hardlymovingpro]

Good to know and thanks for sharing!

[@LR-dy5ck]

Try and level some steering knuckles for a 20 ton shop press. If not secure you can damage the knuckle during removal or cockeye the bearing during installation very easily. This process greatly eliminates those damaging possibilities during removal and installation.

[@hardlymovingpro]

You're correct. You need more than a shop press to properly service pressed on bearings.

[@Maestro-gh2ei]

Is it possible to overdo the process of pushing in the new bearing with the hydraulic press? Do i need to have a comprehensive understanding of where the bearing should be seated or can i just push it in until it feels right/can’t go in any further?

When the snap ring grove is visable, you've pressed it in far enough.

@@hardlymovingpro always a pleasure not many people take pride in their work anymore like we do, just my opinion,

[@Maestro-gh2ei]

Can a bad wheel bearing on the drivers side cause my breaks to fail? Master cylinder was empty after this occured but no signs of leakage from any of the lines? Perhaps Master Cylinder inner seal failure, or it all drained into the brake booster? Brakes are fine when engine isn’t running, but they are soft and go to the floor when engine is running. Have to slam on them to get them to respond minimally if at all. This happened after jacking the car up on the driver’s side to tighten my lug nuts as I kept hearing a screeching sound that I now realize was a symptom of faulty wheel bearing

[@hardlymovingpro]

You master cylinder seal is shot allowing brake fluid into the brake booster.

[@rayw9602]

I just spent weekend with my teen son using breaker bar and it took forever. Are the threads for the bearing tool common standard with the punch tool, this was super clever, thank you so much for this, I’m encouraged continue with the other bearings that need replacement.

[@hardlymovingpro]

Some bearing press kit's forcing screw have different thread patterns. A local machine shop could make you straight bar forcing screw.

[@ghe422]

Hello Sir, what is the size of the forcing screw that you attached to the hydraulic puller and did it come with the bearing puller set you used?

[@hardlymovingpro]

The forcing screw and bearing puller are provided as 1 kit. The length is consistent with most hub and bearing kits. The thread pattern can differ and have no way telling you.

[@Jigsaw_knows]

Beware. Pump does not always match screw threads in large bolt. Once u figure it out its magnificent.

[@hardlymovingpro]

Agreed. Good idea to bring the forcing screw when shopping for a pump to make sure it fits.

[@deagointhemix9798]

Wish I would have saw this

[@FlowtnWitWalden]

Good stuff. What do you think about putting the bearing just in the refrigerator? I'm worried that when the frozen condensation melts after the bearing is installed it will be permanently rusted in place.

There won't be any rust.

[@CharlesLease-ei1ee]

My thing is one more bolt and just put it on the press. He wouldn’t have to turn angle it just to get that in there or you could spend $400 for that the ram or just pay for our labor and have somebody press it out or do it by hand torch, hammer and freeze the bearing do it the old-school way

[@hardlymovingpro]

That's how I use to do it till I had too many of these jobs to do that needed fast turnover!

[@Dhahdbjdnd]

You should package bearing puller sleeve and plates with the pump and sell them as a kit!!!!! Money in the pockets!!! Shark tank!!!!

Looks like the screw from the bearing puller fitted the hole in the punch kit. Otherwise you would of had to root around for a suitable screw that fit the thread on the punch kit.

I’m curious to know where you got the long hex bolt from? I know it didn’t come with the hydraulic kit because I have the exact same kit and the bolt that comes with the hydraulic kit is a 3/4 inch 5 inch long stud bolt. I purchased the exact same hydraulic kit from Harbor Freight and the 3/4 stud bolt that comes with it is way too short to do what you did and the hex bolt that comes with the bearing adapter kit is a lot larger than 3/4 which is required to use the hydraulic kit. Thanks.

Hi there, changing the wheel bearing by using a knockout pouch is a small way of thinking. Great video and thank you for sharing your genesis thinking. The size of the hydraulic pouch threads is M20-1.50mm. The wheel bearing set large bolt is 3/4"-16, thread pitch That’s a little too small to work correctly without damaging the bolt or hydraulic pouch threads.

[@hardlymovingpro]

Thanks for watching! The wheel bearing (large bolt) is called a forcing screw. Believe if you go to your local machine shop they can provide you a non headed screw with the correct thread pitch. You can then screw on a nut on each end giving you more adjustment flexibility when attached to the press bearing adapter plates.

Thanks! Nope ... no tool rentals on both the bearing press adapter kit and hydraulic pump. The press adapter kit usually goes for around $70 and the hydraulic pump comes in a knockout pump kit for around $100. See the "show more" text description of this video for more details.

[@douglascunningham1840]

Make sure the axel is snapped in into the transmission all the way or your wheels will rotate hard when in park.

[@hardlymovingpro]

Absolutely!

Links provided in video description

[@RohitPatel-et2cg]

The kit on the link looks different from the one you have on your video. Will the bolt from the kit on the link screw on to the hydraulic punch

Will the Maddox kit from Harbor freight work with the hydraulic punch tool

Hello my friend Where did you get the bolt from ? Thanks

[@hardlymovingpro]

I used the bolt (also called a forcing screw) from the bearing adapter kit. The bolt threads matched the hydraulic press tool.

[@hardlymovingpro]

Appreciate that!

[@deeeyewhy5949]

Is this the same process for the rx330? The part looks identical for the Camry from years 99-06 maybe even beyond that from what I can tell in pictures at least.

[@hardlymovingpro]

Yes but the bearing will be different

[@deeeyewhy5949]

@@hardlymovingpro Are the bearings for the 4cyl and 6cyl Camry different? From what I’ve read the bearings should be the same for camrys from 04-09 and then many after that should also have the same bearing and hub as the rx330. Only asking because Someone near me is selling a set for cheap and they bought it for on 06 Camry but idk yet if it was 4 or 6cyl variant

[@deeeyewhy5949]

Sorry one more question. Just How much torque you think I’ll need to pull a bearing? My ryobi p262 is a beast 500 easy probably get 600 lbs/ft if I jam on it at high for 15 seconds with a full 6ah pack. Dropped the thing in a bucket of atf during the engine swap and it didn’t skip a beat! (Have seen a Milwaukee dunked in water while spinning so I wasn’t too surprised) but I’m wondering if I need something that gets into the 800-1000 range?

[@thomaslevine6120]

the link for the "Front Wheel Bearing Adapter Puller Kit" (comes in a blue container) has the incorrect size and thread for the harbor freight press so that slide bolt cant be used. Can you give us the correct puller kit with the correct slide bolt please?

[@hardlymovingpro]

What I did was take the forcing screw (puller bolt) with me to Harbor Freight to see if the thread pattern of the bolt matched the thread pattern with the hydraulic adapter. I have 2 wheel bearing replacement kits and the thread pattern on the forcing screws are the same. You must have bought a puller kit with a non standard (should be 3/4") forcing screw size.

[@thomaslevine6120]

​@@hardlymovingpro Can you give me the the kits number w the correct slide bot size because the in the link you gave us does not fit at all

[@505fastlife6]

If you haven't figured it out get the hydraulic hole puncher and front wheel drive bearing kit both made by Pittsburgh at harbor freight.

[@ousmanediop9113]

How many more times have you used this technique? What's the success rate? The forcing screw being the same thread pitch was that just a coincidence?

[@hardlymovingpro]

3X. 100%. Thread pitch was coincidence. Perhaps industry standard tool size.

I am having great difficulty in pulling the hub off the cv axle. I have a 5ton hydr bearing puller with 3 point attatchment on backside of hub flange. I have full tension on puller and have applied heat tapping all around with hammer. Still no give. 2012 kia soul. Sure could use some advise, thank you anyone?

[@hardlymovingpro]

Did you first release the tension where the cv axle slides into the inner splines of the hub? If not, release that tension first.

[@kjenkins8648]

@@hardlymovingpro Yes I had already done every step but I finally found a slide hammer to rent from oreillys and got it to pop. Man I hope the next one goes easier on me!

Correct ... and more importantly, not wear out your impact driver / gun.

[@jerryolivares5412]

Very true thanks for the video

[@jerryolivares5412]

Will it work if you don't put the bearing in the freezer over night or will it make it a lil bit harder

Thank you for uploading a nice video. More power💪🇺🇸

[@RM-ub1xd]

So you push the old bearing out towards the engine right and install back from the same side?

[@hardlymovingpro]

That's correct. Can only go in or out in one direction.

[@WizzRacing]

I never thought of using an electrical knockout set on bearings,... I got an old Greenlee around somewhere...

It works great!

Are you able to remove the hub with the hydraulic

[@hardlymovingpro]

Nope. That's a different procedure. Here's the link on how to do it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2WzZIdjmMdqqMk

[@wranefis]

So I was just watching a video about this expensive hub bearing remover and it looks just like the convo you are using to remove the bearing only difference is that their has different pullers and the hydraulic puller is automatic. I wonder if there’s a way to turn your Pittsburg puller into automatic just to do the job faster

[@hardlymovingpro]

When you mean automatic, something that replaces the hand pump with a compressed air setup? If so, it's not worth the expense for the little amount of time and effort that's saved. Think about it ... Around $200 for both the bearing adapter kit and the knockout punch kit. These fancier kits (made in Germany) run almost $2,000! I just wanted something to substitute and save my electric impact driver from pre-mature wear out.

[@wranefis]

@@hardlymovingpro and that’s why you are the guy I came for answer .. you are smart for the combination you used in the video . And yeah I didn’t man I figured their kits would be expensive but not to that extent which it’s crazy

10 tons of pressure is a lot of force coming out of that hydraulic pump.

[@maxodorestant9053]

Great video as always, where did you buy the pump from?

[@hardlymovingpro]

Was on sale at Harbor Freight for under $100. Buying the 15 ton pump would have made the job go a little bit easier I think. Plenty of these types of pumps on Amazon.

[@aroundthewaytrucker2760]

Can it be used for ball joints?

[@hardlymovingpro]

Unfortunately not. The hydraulic screw on adapter only generates pulling force.

[@julianarodriguez3635]

Did you freeze the bearing

[@hardlymovingpro]

Yes. Makes the install easier.

[@thepunisher130]

Hey, your videos are great! I purchased the Orion kit from Amazon and the Pittsburg pump kit. The treads on the Orion kit are different than the one on the pump. Did you have to purchase another bolt to make this work? If so, where did you get it?

[@hardlymovingpro]

Nope. I first went to the Harbor Freight to see if the force screw bolt in the Hub Bearing Adapter kit matched the threads in the punch kit ... which it did.

[@gregallen9065]

you will probably need to find a grade 8 bolt to fit the hydraulic pump assembly.......try to get fine threads if possible and it will last longer.....

@@gregallen9065 I think the pump is threaded. Would have to get threads to match the pump.
