Excellent video. I paid to have mine done though I've done alot of work myself. One note for readers, if your rear ABS goes off and no lines are broken, think about wheel bearings. They were breaking down and caused a "dirty sensor" reading on code scanner. Replacing the sensor caused the same reading and it took a while for the shop to figure out what was happening.
Guys, I just want to point out an error on my end so please read this before starting this job. One of you guys (Neal Nazinitsky) pointed out that the drum would have been easier to remove if I relieved brake pressure first by opening the bleeder valve - VERY TRUE STATEMENT! I had overlooked that and even though it wasn't a lot of brake pressure, it was still causing the drum to bind a little. That was an oversight from my end when I was doing this job. Thanks Neal! Also, Here's the link to the materials: Rear Right Wheel Bearing: amzn.to/3DUXCln Rear Left Wheel Bearing: amzn.to/3BXp0i1 Axle Bearing Puller Tool: amzn.to/3DYnKfc Axle Oil Seal: amzn.to/3pgZhO6 Axle O Ring: amzn.to/2Z3jyMH Seal Puller: amzn.to/3jiD6Dn
I found the tools to take the bearings off on Amazon 🤗 also it is a return idem so I got it really cheap. Next off to get a shop press. And I’ll still be saving a bunch of money by doing this my self. I have two tacomas so I might as well have the tools.
You made no mistake. With your foot off the brake, there is no pressure in the wheel cylinders. Sometimes it may be necessary to back off the self adjuster if the drums have a ridge. Also, a rubber cap over the brake line will save you from cleaning up a mess and possibly having to bleed the master. Otherwise, awesome video!
You always end up being the videos I reference for my vehicle projects. Great work sir. Thank you. I decided to order the preasssmbled dorman axle kit though because I don’t have a press and I don’t like taking my stuff to shops. Still great info!
Hey nice video liked how you built your own press thanks for the tips you should be proud of yourself I don't usually leave a comment or say 👍 up again Great job and VIDEO
Hay KFlo. I’m half way through this bearing swap. I had to build a shop press. Because harbor freight didn’t have one anywhere close to me. Although I did have to go get a bigger Jack from them because the one I had wasn’t strong enough to press the axle out. I hope to have this job finished this Saturday morning. Thanks for the detailed video.
Nice vid! I purchased the tool from Amazon and scheduled to arrive the day the customer came in.....tool was lost in mail so I had to cut each bearing assy. and press collar. Made for a long day. Nice tips on how to use the tool! 👍
If you had opened the bleed valve before trying to remove the drum, and also sprayed a lubricant on the drums before trying to remove the drum, they probably would have come off easily - since you had pressed the brake pedal you needed to release the pressure you created. Cleaning the Drum and other surfaces first before reinstalling would have been a little easier.
My ABS/brake light is on. 12 Tacoma. I have found those speed sensors to be really expensive from 125.00-250.00 $. 😱 I did find them on Amazon for about 20.00$ for a pair. But that didn’t fix the problem. There’s no play in the bearing that I can feel. But I’m wondering if the speed ring could be bad ???
Really appreciate your video. Super easy to follow and helpful. I have a question. I just need to replace the drum break backing plate which I damaged. Could I just re-used the axle bearing or removing it from axle will destroy it and need to install a new one? Thank in advance.
There are several rear axle bearing puller tools on the market for 2nd Gen Toyota Tacoma. I went to your Amazon link and did not see the item description specify the axle bearing puller tool you used was for your model, a 2009 TRD 4x4. The other tools posted seemed to be for your vehicle. I have to do the same service on my truck and I have the rear wheel drive 2008 TRD Sport, and I am wondering, what was your thought process upon deciding to use the tool you selected. I am certain my axle DOES have the speed sensor tone ring in the hub assembly. Thanks as I am interested in getting your thoughts. Great and thorough video and insightful.
The axle bearing puller tool that I have is a universal tool for toyota trucks. I went with this purchase since there is a an amazon free returns policy on this one if it doesn't fit. I would recommend measuring the distances of the 4 bolts on your hub assembly and then purchasing the tool. You can validate that the distances matches the hole in the tool. If it does, then great. If not, then you can return and purchase another. With fitment of the rear bearing itself, you can validate through Moog's website and I did a quick check and it should fit your 2008 TRD sport. here's the information (www.moog-suspension-parts.com/moog-512295). Therefore, you should be able to follow these instructions exactly and use these exact tools and parts to do this job.
Do you think it would be possible to cut the bearing/retainer/backing plate off with a grinder? I see a backing plate is only $30 and at that price in rusty prone areas I would want to put a new one on anyways with new studs. Thanks
I ordered the tools for pulling the bearings off of the axle from Amazon ☹️ The jerks send me me a hippa filter. So I sent it back. I hope to get the tools by the 18th of this month.
Hello - I'm planning to do a similar repair on my '03 Tacoma (base model/ext cab/2.4L motor). Your rear hubs have 6 lug nuts each, mine only has 5. May I ask the year/make/model of your Tacoma? The other thing that surprised me is your driveshafts appear to have 2 wheel bearings each. In all the other videos I've previewed on this subject, I only saw 1 wheel bearing on each side/driveshaft. I need to order parts and I just want to make sure I get it right. Would you know how many wheel bearings my '03 Tacoma has on each side/driveshaft? Thanks!
I have a 2009 Tacoma TRD Sport V6. The wheel bearing comes as an assembly, when you pull the old one out, one of the bearings break off and stays on the shaft
I did the same exact repair with my toyota. I absolutely can not get the axle to go back in. It will not seat itself like yours did. I can't get enough of the studs to stick out to get the nuts back on. Im about 2 inches away. Will not go in any farther. What am i doing wrong.
Spin the axle back and forth as you wiggle it back into the axle housing. Remember, the end of the axle has to go into the 3rd member and you have to lift that end slightly to mate into the hole.
12 ton is twenty four thousand pounds of muscle I would think it should do the job. Just make sure the press is tall enough that the axle will fit. I’m going to HF to check them out soon.
@@KFloTacoma Ok. thank you. I just soo so much pressure and it doesn't seem to want to budge. and my press is so crappy that it's hard to centre the shaft it seems.
@@KFloTacoma yes I did. I finally got it out. my extractor tool was mounted crooked , causing the force to go onto the side. so it wasn't pushing square. But it's out now. Thanks so much for the help and the vid!
hate drum brakes, hardware goes bad then your screw. Rust to easy, think about get the disc conversion kit. Amazing video besides that, never want to deal with this on my rear wheel bearing going to a shop.
@@KFloTacoma Ah, the old magnetic seal trick. Honda does that to. If you aren't careful, it's very easy to put the bearing in backwards and have ABS codes. Thanks again!

I think this is happening to mine I did feel a vibration but it’s not doing it now and no movement in the bearing.

For a rear bearing to need replacement what other causes would you notice while driving,would truck drive with lots of vibration or noise what else

Hey buddy, did you replace the rear wheels bearing on the driver side? If you did please upload on the web . I do appreciated for what you doing
Hey bro, it's the same procedure, just a mirror image
Do you think it would be possible to cut the bearing/retainer/backing plate off with a grinder? I see a backing plate is only $30 and at that price in rusty prone areas I would want to put a new one on anyways with new studs. Thanks
You probably can but I would just be extra careful not to damage the main shaft

Update. They sent me the tools to remove the bearings. I’m gearing up to do this job soon.
How many hours..? How much You can Charge $
Is there a national chain that rents the bearing removal tube
Unfortunately not
First and foremost, great video. Mabuhay! Can you please tell me which H Frame Press that is you are using?
That's a harbor freight press

12 ton or 20 ton?

Ok. So you mean to say the rear wheel bearing in your '09 is only one assembly per side, but it contains two (2) roller bearing races inside?
Yessir, you can see the two sets of roller bearings if you pause it at 14:58

Is it possible to replace the bearing itself? rather than the full assembly?

Can you just buy the whole assembly with the axle? Couldn’t cost more than a press and the tool lol
LOL I wish. If you take a look at used full stock axle asembly at ebay, it's over $2K. This harbor freight press was only $250
