Toyota Tacoma wheel bearing hub replacement 2005-present

Thank you for the video! As far as removing the 4 bolts, if the flange is stuck, would it be possible to place a flat piece of steel between the bolt head and wheel hub and just turn the bolts and let them seperate the flange to the plate?

you know...that may work, but if it's super stuck in place, I'd recommend a hub buster or even putting a big pipe wrench on the hub where the wheel lugs are and striking that with a hammer. if you turn the retaining bolts against a plate and it's really stuck, you could round off/break/strip those bolts in a worst case scenario, but I like your thinking!

@@joyofwrenching My 2005 with 230000 mi has bearing going. I plan on doing the front brakes at the same time. I hope the caliper pins don't kill my joy.
