Toyota Charges OVER $1,000 To REPLACE These Camry Wheel Bearings

[@JimfromIndy]

I enjoy your dads calm confidence. I see where you got it. $1,000 is not unreasonable for 4 hours of two people plus having all the tools like a press, for example.

[@captinbeyond]

I was thinking the same thing. Seeing what they charge for work at a dealer, I find it hard to believe they'd only charge a grand. This looks labor intensive....I bet it took all day, noticed it was night time when they actually took for a drive.

[@zachmiller289]

The book time for this job for this particular car is 2.9 hours for both sides or just 1.9 hours for one side. Most dealers charge around $150 per hour for labor so the labor would be the majority of the cost for the repair at the dealer. The bearing cost through the dealer is just over $100 each, but you could always supply your own bearings if you didn’t want to pay dealer price. JR was getting the $1000 figure for buying two assembled hubs instead of bearings. Toyota doesn’t replace the entire hub when the bearing is bad. They just replace the bearing.

[@JimfromIndy]

@@zachmiller289, wow, only 2.9 hours! That does make it “trop cher.”

I work at a toyota dealership and although I can do these bearings it’s not something that I particularly look forward to. Maybe if I had my own business it would be more worth my while.

[@yunus_aros]

It’s the HSD with its brake and energy saving system that saves the rotors for that long. You seldom use the rotors in the same sense as in a non-hybrid car. It’s amazing how long the rotors last on the HSD Toyota vehicles.

[@rpavlik1]

Ohhhh right. Same reason nobody needs brakes on a Tesla unless they turn off Regen braking.

[@bryangilmer671]

Came here to say this. Most front braking is accomplished by regen friction, not by the rotors (except very hard stops) Wife’s 115k Camry hybrid has original front rotors and pads and they’re not close to worn out. Rears work and wear like they do on non-hybrid car

[@johnfritz1164]

I only had to change the brake pads once in 190k miles on my Camry hybrid.

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

Makes sense. When he said the rotors had almost 300k on them, I was like, bullshit.

[@TheducksOrg]

Yep, kept original brake pads and rotors on my prius for 285,000kms

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

Don't forget the bearings.

[@CACressida]

Well flushing fluids keep you from possibly damaging the terrible items like heater cores, pumps and gaskets. Keeping new filters is an obvious thing. Sucking in debris into your HVAC is absolutely delightful. That thing lives in Kansas and you can clearly see how TLC goes a long way to prevent corrosion.

[@ziggystardust6856]

In 300k miles it would certainly need tires and brakes. Changing the coolant twice in 300k miles was a good idea, not a lot to ask.

Seeing a Camry worked on is almost a rare sight there so good. Although that bearing job looks a little annoying having to cut that part out with a torch and a grinder, that would make me nervous I’d damage it

facts

[@tortron]

you are gona want a press, and the torch makes things easier (can jut the bearing race and hit it to break it). But you can buy bench top press with the cash you save

[@michaelporter3555]

Toyota loves overly complex wheel bearings and they have been using that basic design for a long time. I've done it a couple of times including a Tacoma truck with way less miles than that Camry and it makes a corroded on Silverado wheel bearing seem easy. If you're going to make it that difficult to change it should last 500,000 miles.

[@derekgardin1512]

It's easy diy if you have a torch and a press. Typically you just replace the entire hub/knuckle as an assembly but on this car they were $500 each for some reason. You can always get it apart yourself, take the hub and new bearing to a shop and have them press them in. My friend did that and they charged him $30 to press the 2 bearings in.

[@derekgardin1512]

[@MobWithGuns]

South main auto repair channel has a great method he uses for heating the bearings off the Hubs. Gets it on a pivot point and sets bearing side down. Takes torch and rotates hub while using torch to heat the race. Bearing cage falls down and off. And need more father / son repair videos for this channel.

[@vincentjenkins4045]

Your dad makes it so simple to understand what has to be done

[@PlugInRides]

The important thing is they used Timken bearings, which are the best ones on the market. Using Chinese bearings or hubs, is a sure way to end up replacing them in another 30K to 50K miles. What Toyota charges makes perfect sense, since you needed a grinder, an acetylene torch, and a hydraulic press to do this job. This is obviously not a simple, DIY repair.

[@derekgardin1512]

Yep never cheap out on wheel bearings. My friend bought a cheap rear wheel bearing fir his 2001 Sunfire and it came apart later that same weekend after replacing it lol. Scary as hell. I said to him was it really worth saving $45 buying that cheapo bearing? For jobs that aren't super easy to do you're better off using a good quality part that ensures it will work the first time and not have to be done again for a long time if at all depending how long you have the car. Timken bearings are awesome quality bearings and I've used many over the years and never had a problem or defective part. Tolerances, quality and fit and finish are all excellent. My friend ended up buying a good quality bearing after and spending another hour and a half replacing it. He said he learned his lesson and will listen to me next time lol

[@5jump]

Koyo were OEM

[@jmuench420]

I've had two Scion Tc's (similar or possibly the same as Camry knuckles, same engine for sure) I've driven a total of 200k+ miles and I tried having bearing pressed in three different times, once with national twice with Timken and done by three different shops (charging $60-$80 a pop to press in the new bearing). All of those bearings failed within 30k miles, one in 15k-ish miles. I gave up on new bearings and have since just bought junkyard knuckles for $40, one lasted probably 50k+ miles on my last car before scrapping and the junkyard one I put on more recently is still going strong after maybe 40k miles. Moral of the story, I think there's a reason Toyota is replacing knuckles on these cars.

Had to do this on my Avalon at 70,000 miles, all the grit on the roads during Canadian winters takes them out quick. I did them on my cheap Chinese 12 ton press and it was all it had to press those out, some very tense moments cowering behind a piece of plywood LOL! They really over complicating the design, the Chrysler bearings are exactly the same but twice as easy to change.

[@GojuRyu1976]

Great seeing you and your dad working together. There is nothing he doesn't know, so knowledgeable

[@alskjflaksjdflakjdf]

This same hub design is used across the Camry platform vehicles, so Camry, Highlander, Sienna, Venza, Lexus ES and RX. If you don't have access to an oxyacetylene torch, you can use the grinder to get the bearing race as thin as possible, a couple mm or 1/8", then smack it with a flathead chisel and a 3 pound hammer. The race is hardened steel under tension and will crack, at which point it slides off the shaft with a bit of screwdriver convincing. If you lack a press, you can press the new bearing on by (carefully!) using the right size socket and a 10 pound sledgehammer. This isn't easy, but it is doable. There are some youtube vids by eastern european guys showing how to do this. After you do this the hard way you will feel like a superhero, but also won't want to do it again. :)

Alot of the time you just replace the whole hub/knuckle as an assembly then it makes it easy to do in the driveway with just hand tools. This car they are $500 each hub/knuckle so it didn't make sense seeing as how they had all the required equipment anyways. On the couple cars I've don't that job on, one car was $130 for each hub/knuckle assembly and the other was around $110.

I used to work at an auto machine shop 20 years ago and did that type of bearing swap all the time. We had a small thin clamp that could go under that inner race so you can press it of the hub.

My wifes 200K 94 Corolla E10 Liftback still has original rotors, calipers, bearings and brake cylinders as well original exhaust and cooling system. When it has its yearly inspection they search for negative stuff to write but never find anything. I do all servicing myself as its not worth putting a 500 dollar car in the workshop. Actually the only time its been in a workshop in the last ten years was for a new clutch. And even with its paltry 90HP its still fun to drive.

that is a sharp contrast to the ones in my 2009 Impala the bearing and the hub with wheel studs and speed sensor are all one unit, just remove the big axle nut, 3 bolts on the back of the hub mount and easy swap a friend of mine did my left one in less than an hour on his lift.

Probly a million others have already said it - love watching your vids with your Pops - anyone with his amount of experience is a treat to witness.

I have a 2014 camry non-hybrid 2.5 and it's a great car. Toyota is definitely the way to go for reliability

HEY! YES! You DO need to support the caliper rather than let it hang! Especially with an older car, tons of miles, and brittle rubber. DO NOT LET CALIPERS HANG!

Sure miss doing work with my dad, but now I get to pass all his knowledge on to my son. Great video. Keep up the great work.

Nice job! When i remove the bearing from the shaft, I've found running a bead with the ark welder around the bearing expands it enough that they often just slide off.
