This is old so I'm sure you won't see this but to anyone that comes across this, the trick for holding on to the spring to diag the wheel bearing worked like magic. I've been chasing down a noise that originally wasn't bad enough to be sure it's a wheel bearing in our AWD Sienna. This was the trick and worked perfectly to feel exactly what he described!
WOW! Hold the spring!! AMAZING!!! I'm a do it urselfer, auto shop in HS, & GM trained in the 70's, worked as a mechanic in a gas station, & now a senior. I've learned SO much from all ur videos! U dont KNOW how good u REALLY ARE! 👍🇺🇸
Dealing with rusty hubs is a lot harder than diagnosis. Diagnosis for a bearing is easy if you attach a stethoscope to the hub while the wheels are off the ground on the lift.
Thank you so much for ALL of your Toyota videos. You are my first stop for anything I need on my 2015 Highlander. You have guided me through the "easy" way to replace my spark plugs, get my brake discs off, replace my serpentine belt, and now my rear wheel bearings. My dealership wanted to charge me almost $1200 for the job... I'll be able to do it in my own garage this weekend for less than 20% of that cost now. Thank you sir!
Thanks AMD ! At least now I know how to do the job. I'm still waiting for the rear wheel bearings to go, on my 2003 v6 4wd Highlander. I bought it new, and I'm at 400,000 hard miles, a lot of off road, snow ,salt, etc. I do all my own maintenance and repairs. I love the technique, to determine which is the bad wheel bearing, by holding the spring. You just taught an "Old Dog a New Trick". Excellent job, keep up the good work.
This is probably the best, most detailed video I have ever seen on RUclips, no unnecessary BS. Straight to the point and only helpful tips! I’m now ready to do my wife’s Rx 330 hub. This guy is amazing and what a Great overall video!
NEVER have a watched a more succinct and precise video on how to do any job. You are a master at demonstration and explanation. Thank you very much. God bless.
I live in rustville USA, and after using sandpaper, wire brush, etc I will always apply a little bit of anti seize to all parts so the next time it's even easier. As for staking, I like to use a rounded punch and just dimple in the slot, and then push the dimple out via the channel for removal. Have to say seeing the condition of the parking brake had me cleaning/lubing it from here. Nice video.
Perfect timing! I am getting a noisy bearing on my RAV 4 and could not locate which bearing is noisy. Never saw the hand on the spring tip. I will try that today. Thanks a million!
You are an excellent “teacher”. So spot on with guidance recognizing a job that can be easy or how it can easily become a mess. Yet encourage us to grow as a DIY’ier. Three thumbs up!!!
Having attempted to replace a rear wheel hub bearing on a 2002 Camry 6 years ago with a slide hammer and getting nowhere to the point of giving up and handing the job off to the corner gas station I really appreciate this video for the detail and care you've provided. I think your explanations and suggestions would have helped me a lot. The bearing hub got replaced with an aftermarket hub and 3 years later had to be replaced again, so your thoughts to whether or not to go OEM from Toyota for 3 times the cost of the aftermarket bearing ring true as well if intending to keep the car for a long long time. Thanks for the terrific video.
Watching you working on that bearing replacement, one realizes how skilled you are. That bearing looks a beautiful piece of engineering, also. Now we know why bearing replacement by a Toyota main dealer costs so much. Also, you must have made a very significant investment in tools and fitting out your new workshop. I hope that you are beginning to gain some real returns with customers repairs.
Hello, We feel that you are passionate about your profession and that you enjoy passing on your knowledge, in all simplicity and humility. I hope your garage is now on the right path and business is great. From France.
Brilliant method of finding which wheel bearing is bad. I tried to figure out which bearing was bad while driving and by turning the wheel while raised but was still uncertain. This method pin pointed which bearing was bad. Thank you for your expertise!
Great DIY video, AMD! I really appreciate all the tips and tricks for DIYers to avoid specialty tools, awareness of pitfalls like mushrooming the axle end, etc. You really make it look easy and give confidence to try out repairs! Seeing the parking brakes in this video gave me a bit of PTSD since I still haven't managed to fix ours that just won't hold properly, even after many adjustments and much inspection of the parts and installation. Would be great to have a video on parking brake repair tips, tricks, and pitfalls in the future!
Well, I thought since you speak some Spanish, because of your wife 😁 Es increíble el valor de su conocimiento. Muchas muchas gracias!!! Un fuerte apretón de manos 🤝
Pregunta??? Y porqué no poner un film de grasa en el eje, ó??? It calls my attention since this is something helpful for, brakes, for instance???? Gracias una vez mas
Great video AMD!! I've done a couple on the RX330. One took me an hour, one took me 2 days. Oh the joy! Having the right tools makes all the difference in the world. Would love to see you do the press in front bearings and how to properly assemble and adjust the Toyota/Lexus parking brakes. They can be fussy!
I'm actually glad a lot of companies (or most) went to a sealed bearing assembly where you just replace the entire hub. Pounding out a bearing can be a pain, and while replacing the hub itself is more expensive, it's cheaper if you're having someone else do it probably because it's literally a unbolt / bolt-on replacement. I was able to do my old Civic's rear hubs in about an hour (It took me longer than it probably should have because I didn't have a manual and had to sort of figure things out and take pictures as I went) but it saved me about $300 in labor (I had to do both rear bearings) as shops where charging $150 for labor and supplies at the time although I will say that I did sort of go a little cheap and used an after market assembly for $100 since I wasn't keep the car that long anyway. But if I was planning on keeping the car I would definitely get OEM hubs.
I replaced both rear wheel bearings on my 2011 rav 4. One easy way to fit out out is if you have a thermal imager to compare the temp of the hub on all 4 wheels. I had one has was noisy when I took it out but it wasn’t humming of making a noise but it was gone and same for front one that was bad as well p. Use a thermal imager to measure hub/rotor temp
Awesome job, You made it look so easy. The hardest part is getting the seized wheel bearing hub from the backing plate especially being on there for 18 yrs original part and all the rust and salt built up.
As usual you are incredible and so very helpful! Watch every single video you release! Whenever possible keep the 4Runner videos coming…us 4Runner owners are insane about maintenance and DIY. God bless you!!
Never seen that before, holding the spring and feeling the noise from the bearing. Very clever. I used to gently spin the hub gently and feel for a rough movement, it feels like the roller bearing is square and not round. It has a notchy feel.
I replaced both of my rear hubs 2 years ago in my 2006 Highlander 2wd. The ABS cover rusted out, exposing the bearings to the weather. There was no question of which bearing locked up. Yes, I used a high quality aftermarket hub and no problem in 2 years. Mine required backing plates.
That vibration can travel up the spring and strut . Inside the car the sound can be loud. My girlfriend's Scion started making this awful noise on her way home from work one day. I suspect the wheel bearing. I still need to really look at it. I have a knuckle/bearing/hub already assembled just in case. Ive used a brass hammmer or brass punch on axles when doing jobs at home. This was an excellent video.
Just did the job myself, video came in handy. Couldn't afford 500 for the toyota oem quality one, so I went with the next best thing there was. Timken makes good wheel hubs, paid 80 bucks on ebay. They wanted 180 on Amazon. 💪 Took me 30 minutes. Live in chicagoland area so i was scared i was gonna run into issues with rust. Lucky me looked like someone had done the job before but with an unknown part,you could see the antiseize left behind.
Great video and some excellent tips. Here’s a tip for you, if you have the notch in the hub facing upwards you can access all the bolts without having to turn the hub.
The diagnosis is brilliant. I have a bearing going bad now, took it to the dealer and they say that yeah its a bearing but we can't tell which one. Keep driving it and come back when it gets louder. Well that's all fine and good but I need to fix it when it makes sense for me not wait until it fails. I'm pretty sure which bearing it is because I rode in the back seat and listened to each side. Nevertheless I do need confirmation and your hand on the spring method will provide it.
hey, love your channel! if you need another video idea, please do this for Priuses when breaking at low speeds. Toyota issued a technical bulletin, T-SB-0157-18, then retracted it some months later.
You have a great way to diagnosing but the thermal imager method is the most accurate. I found 2 bad ones that way before they started humming or grinding
What are the details for thermal method? Drive and break a few times to create heat? What is normal temp or just look for the one that is hotter than the other?
I got back back after a 30 miles drive and I had Amy thermal imager ready to go. Check the rotor temp on 4 tires and note the general temp for the rotors and if you find one that may be hotter than the others. That may be your culprit right there. The rotors were getting kinda dark brown blackish on the one fo the front wheel bearings, the bearing hub temp will transfer to the rotors. Once again my 2011 rav4 had 130mikes and I also noticed a drop in mpg. Once I pulled the front one out. It was making a light sound when spun and I could notice it wasn’t spinning as freely. Ensure tout caliper pistons are not jammed or your slider pins on the caliper are not jammed either to come to the right conclusion.
Do you ever wire brush the bolts on this and strut repair, to remove rust, corrosion, and crud? Love your videos, and congrats on your own shop. Keep up the good work, we have 2 Toyotas now and it helps telling our garage what is wrong with the bigger jobs...
Thankfully to this video, I've replaced rear left bearing, and it was really bad. Then, when replaced and I ride, I was able to recognize the rear right bearing, which was not far behind (maybe 6 months behind from the other), so I've replaced both rear. Right now, I can hear only front and it's not clear yet, what is it.. I like this life... PS: To remove disc, there are two bolts places. It's M8 bolt (metric, yes) that helps to remove stuck braking disc. Axle nut I've not replaced. Just used tught nail to "unlock" it and that is it. The tip 6:46, how to separate hub from the other things works really well. Just anything long and one single tap with a hammer. If doesn't work - do the same thing from the opposite side of the hub ( left and right).
Great video. I remember when I did both of my front wheel bearings on my 2014 altima. Tell you want. They'll dam sure let you know, when they start going out.
I cleaned up the knuckle ID and used copper anti seize. Toyota has excellent engineers and car designers. Not perfect but good. PS: I only use oem parts. Thanks
OK Car Nut a question I have found an answer for. As a DIY mechanic, I use anti seixe on bolts and nuts that have been more difficult or exposed to adverse environments , heat water corrosion. Why do mechanics rarely go to the trouble of using it when they are likely to disassemble the same parts in the future. It would look like it waould make your work easier.
Job security, makes it harder for DIY mechanics. Jokes aside, he probably uses it on Rusty cars and on cars that are not rusty, no need for anti-sieze.
Trying to diagnose a noise/rubbing that sounds like either suspension needing some work somewhere, or the bearing. So thanks for giving me something else to check first.
Put the car on Jack stands and see if the noise persists. If so, probably not a suspension issue. I'm not responsible for any damages or injuries during this operation.
Yes, I've turned changing out a bearing into a difficult job, but it wasn't a Toyota. Part of the bearing race had come apart and welded itself to the spindle. Question: if you need to change one bearing, should you also change the bearing on the opposite side at the same time, or just wait and see? Based on what you did in the video, I think I know the answer, but I want to be sure. Thanks for the video.
Thank you so very much for all these great vedios!!! I now have a 2013 Corolla which is making a noise in the driver rear wheel. I have determine it could have a bad wheel bearing. Just wanted to see you give detail on howvto be sure before taking it to mechanic to replace it. Now buying the wheel bearing, not toyota, too expensive.
Just subscribed. Great video! Great way to diagnose wheel bearings! Your videos are clear, your explanation, and your demonstration of the repair was very clear. I will come to your channel for any repairs I will do in the future. Thank you!
Thanks for the tips. Looks like an easy job with a compressor and gun. I'm sure air chisel was nice to have but agreed a simple punch would have worked well
Good idea, Japanese OEM bearings 20+ years (400,000+ kms) versus Chinese bearings 2+ years (40,000kms). Chinese bearings are a constant ongoing repair bill. Probably something to keep in mind with the more affordable Chinese electric car models that will flood the car market within the next 10-20yrs.

@@bwest-yq3uc Yeah, it was an adventure.
Outstanding instruction as always. When I need to know I always know who to turn to.
Thank you so very much for all these great vedios!!! I now have a 2013 Corolla which is making a noise in the driver rear wheel. I have determine it could have a bad wheel bearing. Just wanted to see you give detail on howvto be sure before taking it to mechanic to replace it. Now buying the wheel bearing, not toyota, too expensive.
That's a great and easy way to do a quick diagnostic !! Do you have a video on front wheel bearing 4x2 tundra 1st GEN
great tip on diagnoses my girl friend has a rav 4 coludn't figure out what wheel will try that next time.
Just subscribed. Great video! Great way to diagnose wheel bearings! Your videos are clear, your explanation, and your demonstration of the repair was very clear. I will come to your channel for any repairs I will do in the future. Thank you!
Great work, your videos have been a real help!
Awesome video…thanks so much. Someone posted this in the tundras forum…may try this on my Tundra.
Nice and clean work. Great job done ✅
Thank you 🙏
He is Good. Enjoy watching him work.
Do you think Anti-Seize on the Bolts is a good idea?
Hi! Not really. At high temperature and long time even the best anti seize will end up causing them to seize
@@TheCarCareNut Thanks for the reply!
Great advice. Tomorrow is another day - I'll give it a shot.
Great job! Very helpful! But do you have a video of rear bearings replacement for 2009 Lexus is 350 RWD?
Thanks for the tips. Looks like an easy job with a compressor and gun. I'm sure air chisel was nice to have but agreed a simple punch would have worked well
I have a 99 Camry with drum brakes and the wheel bearing falls right out once the four bolts are removed. One of the easier DIY jobs I have done.
AMD, My Toyota bearings have lasted 17 years without an issue. If I need to change one, I will stick with OEM 🤩
Good idea, Japanese OEM bearings 20+ years (400,000+ kms) versus Chinese bearings 2+ years (40,000kms). Chinese bearings are a constant ongoing repair bill. Probably something to keep in mind with the more affordable Chinese electric car models that will flood the car market within the next 10-20yrs.
Great tip on using the spring to feel the worn bearing!
That air hammer has so many purposes. I don't have one but I don't have that problem yet on my 2004 sienna, but I have a small concrete chisel.
Thanks for this valuable video, really useful 👍
Great tips and advice, especially with the possibilities that could happen at the end
The word is "resonance". Thank you maestro.
Thank you! I've definitely been guilty of guessing the wrong one.
Not hard to diagnose with a stethoscope and a lift.
