Thanks a bunch man. You're instructions are top notch. Came for the teaching, stayed for the "Bonks".

[@murrayp2202]

You don't point out in the video (around the 12:55 mark) that there is actually an O-Ring that needs to be transferred off the old bearing assembly (or a replacement picked up somewhere since they aren't currently included with the hub assy 1A-Auto sells... - Toyota Part 90301-92003 - note some auto parts placed confuse that o-ring part for the entire wheel bearing hub assy.)

[@chadfahlenkamp1134]

Great tips AND torque specs. Swapped out both sides in about two hours. Thanks for this excellent tutorial.

[@scottzoll7321]

You do the best tutorials man, seriously. Thanks

[@savannahtorres8082]

Been watching all of your 4Runner videos and needless to say very on point and knowledgeable. I've had my 04' 4Runner for 3 months now and i should be doing the some maintenance work to it by the ending of March glad there's video's i can look back on if i need help!!!

Love this guy. Funny and goes into detail. Great video guys.

[@DJdeepjavu]

Thanks for so professional and easy explanation!!! 5 stars for you

[@anticapitalize]

The torque spec for those front caliper bolts is 90ft/lbs, for those of you wanting to do it the right way.

[@LindaCh51]

Can't believe you didn't replace the rusty rotten backing plate! Other than that, great how-to video.

[@timothyandrewnielsen]

kills me to watch that thing stay on there.

[@stevanrose7439]

I saw 👀 where these backing plates are like a hundred and twenty five dollars. But I’ve never bought one.

[@blackblizard22]

It's not his that's why.

[@javieraleman225]

Customer didn’t pay for that 😂

[@jeffberry4736]

Thanks for the video!!! It helped with replacing a broken wheel stud on a 2007 Toyota 4runner.

[@caution_xray]

FYI.. mine takes 35mm axle nut socket; 2004 4runner 4.0 4x4

[@sonnyjadun1169]

The axle nut is not 36 mm, its 35 mm. Also, my axle nut was too hard to pull off, had to put th vehicle off the jack and tire resting on the ground, had to use 4' pipe extension to loosen the axle nut. There was not way I could loosen the nut by the method proposed by you. thanks for the video.

[@jimmybraddy3080]

My man had the B2k remix ....bonk bonk bonk!!😂😂😂

[@NickJonesFilms]

Does this require an alignment afterwards since nothing was removed that affects the alignment??

[@seanwise7464]

A nylon deadblow creates a “bonk” , A 10 pound sledge creates a ‘bash’ according to my reference chart of general applied force conversions. 😝 Thanks for vid, good stuff!

[@joshbabcock8785]

Borrow or buy a a pneumatic or electric chisel it’s well worth it. I beat the cv axel with a rubber mallet and a sledge with a wood block for 45 minutes with no budge. It released after 3 seconds with the electric chisel.

[@LittleBlueGamingYT]

Have you done a video for an 07 4Runner rear bearing replacement, or is the 4Runner similar to the Rav 4 video you posted?

[@1AAuto]

+Jason Haugh We do not have a video for this repair right now, but we'll keep this request in mind for a future video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

[@PhillipFuller-sj6yd]

can you use a wire brush drill attachment to remove the rust safely?

[@abboudabudafair1484]

Perfectly done and it is very helpful... thanks

[@stephentibbles544]

Extremely helpful. Thanks 1A AUTO

[@sarahstough8250]

This guy loves the bonk!

[@kokok3479]

Best, easiest one I've seen so far. Ready to do mine tomorrow. Thanks.

[@1AAuto]

+Kokok Thanks for checking us out!

[@autoempire6551]

Tip: I normally loosen lug nuts back about 2 turns and move truck back or forward while quickly turning steering wheel left & right until you hear wheel loosen.

[@afellowinnewengland6142]

Folks DO NOT follow his installation advice when it comes to tightening bolts on the new bearing assembly (13:50). Use a proper torque wrench adapter or crow's foot to tighten these bolts to spec with a torque wrench You don't guess with important things like this and tighten bolts with a hammer...This is basic technician stuff.

[@jadenreececoffey9196]

How do you remove the wheel hub assembly from the rear?

[@FernandoGarcia-qw5ek]

gracias muy buena esplicacion good job

[@matthockman]

Great instructional video, thank you!!

[@1AAuto]

+Mr M Thanks for the feedback!

[@jeffdeluca1153]

I see you reused the old axle seal that comes new with the new bearing. How is that replaced without removing the whole axle? Thanks

[@D.R_Drumming]

could have used a crows foot adapter to torque the bearing nuts. Very important part.

[@chevyvega6622]

where does the big o ring and rubber seal go I see in several parts replacement assembly pictures go? Does this brand come with these two seals?

[@ma7673]

BONK!!! but really good video. 🤟🏻

[@Gshock714]

Good instruction video but I think that's a lot more than 59 ft lbs torque on the wheel bearing which the factory recommends that looks to be in the range of 110-120 ft lbs

[@eyadshelton2059]

Perfect, made my job easier. Thanks

[@Gymjb5]

Thank you ,but im definitely taking to my shop 😅 🙌🏼

[@fernandopacas6846]

Awesome, very very nice video, great explanation!!!

[@ScooterBlia2]

Does the 1Aauto bearing come with the hub pressed in already? Or are they separated?

[@albaniansk8er]

Hello is there an option to but the wheel bearing and hub separately?

[@timothyandrewnielsen]

"That sounds horrible". LOL.

[@distilledfreedom1840]

My mechanic says you don’t need to worry about keeping that cap sealed. It won’t make it fail right ?

[@Chaperno1098]

Excelente thanks

[@anav1404]

What about if they are pressed on wheel bearings? Thanks

[@SLHJR0390]

Wonderful teacher. I often wonder if his friends call him "Lennie" or if he has another completely unrelated nickname. I dont know why I just do folks.

[@dagabriel9416]

Can the hub be painted? It covered in some type of grease. Thanks

[@1AAuto]

+D. Pounds they aren't typically intended to be painted.

[@JasVmitten]

How long does this job take to do?

[@xyomga]

he said "do do" 8:25

[@Shehdbdbdbdjdb]

Can someone tell me if this is the same for an ‘04 Sequoia … thanks in advance

[@hikeroutpost]

At 11:11 there is a spring hanging on the axle, does it belong to the axle or to the bearing?

[@murrayp2202]

36mm or 35mm socket for the axle nut? other sources are indicating 35mm socket is needed (although at that size, may not be a huge difference).

[@1AAuto]

+Murray P Thank you for checking us out! We are using a 36mm socket to remove and tighten this axle nut.

[@murrayp2202]

For others - it is actually a 35mm axle nut on the vehicle...

[@gravysopper]

definitely a 2 bonk job

[@Papisartee]

Same as 2wd?

[@anthonyshaeffer7889]

I wish you would have replaced the rear seal but overall great video.

[@Jimbotron92]

I hate to be that guy but...I can’t seem to find the rear hub assembly for my 2004 4runner. Does it matter front/rear or are they the same?

[@1AAuto]

+Jimmy Reed They are different for the front and rear. We currently do not carry the complete assembly for the rear, but we do have the wheel hub bearing modules which is part # 1ASHS00555. Thanks for checking us out!

[@tubnquagchannel1338]

Good job! Good explanation! You can do my too.

[@thecraftsman72]

"Loving Bonk" 👍

[@TheOutwiththeold]

crow foot …...

[@bricetetrick1457]

My axle nut is a 35mm

[@re3132]

No mention of seal and rubber o ring

[@sarahstough8250]

#BONK

[@jonnygear9169]

Is the 2wd the same minus the axle shaft?

[@dagabriel9416]

Yes. I’ve done both types on 4thgens

[@nilz6432]

Anybody ever told you that you dont wear gloves when using rotating tools? You get one caught in the machine and you rip your fingers of. Of course not with the cheap vinyl gloves you wear because they rip and wont protect anything.

[@hipu]

this guy plays tf2 scout

[@hakeemsamuels5148]

How long should this take?

[@1AAuto]

+Hakeem Samuels Thanks for watching! That all depends on skill level and how easy things come apart on your vehicle. If you have never done this job and live in an area that causes corrosion to vehicles (road salts, near the ocean etc) then we recommend setting a day aside to do it!

[@mrkingcat2]

203 foot pounds?

[@kristinehayes4885]

Too much yabba yabba.
