I use my impact gun and not a torque wrench. When the bolt stops moving, I let go of the trigger ... which takes a fraction of a second. The tension on the bolt is pretty tight.
Hi Scotty. can you post a video how to replace 2006 lexus LS430 Rear Wheel Hub Bearing Replacement. I am having trouble removing dust feflector. thanks
Great video…My 97 es300 has started making a clunking sound that coincides with the rotation of the wheel on the right rear, it sounds like it’s coming from inside the trunk… It doesn’t happen constantly just here and there but is very pronounced when it does. So far no one has given me a sound diagnosis of what it could be. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks
Nope. The front wheel bearings are pressed into the steering knuckle. Watch this video to see what's involved on this Ford Fusion (similar to Toyota): ruclips.net/video/EapRYC-fS8g/видео.html
Hello, I have lexus es 300 2003 with 227k miles. If I want to replace the wheel bearings in the front, Do i just buy the bearing itself and bring it to the shop and have them press the bearing in or should I buy the whole wheel hub assembly with the bearing already pressed in and just replace the whole assembly ? I can't find any videos about the front wheel bearing for this lexus es 300 model. Thank you so much.
Here's a recent video I published where you can do it from home (with the right tools): ruclips.net/video/BW-yWLvIflU/видео.html I've seen some ridiculous price quotes ($400 - $600) for this bearing job. You can also buy a new bearing assembly with the steering knuckle to avoid the hassle.
I just did mines on my 2001 lexus es300. When the bad bearings was taken off. You can smell a burnt smell. Any moment it couldve caught fire.. now my car rides ans sounds quite and smooth
Would a pretty substantial wobble and rattling as well as sort of feeling an uneven sort of bouncy ride coming specifically from my rear passenger wheel possibly be a sign of a bad bearing??
@@hardlymovingpro sounds good I appreciate the quick response...just to be clear a rear one could cause the steering wheel to shake? I talked to a mechanic buddy of mine and he was saying only the front end would be causing that however there was very little play on either the driver or passenger side...will check the rear tomorrow .
@@lukepowers9472 Front end vibration will be felt through the steering wheel; rear end would be felt through the seats. Front end possible vibration causes: 1. Out of round tires (have it checked out with a "road force" machine) 2. Bent wheel 3. Bent CV axle 4. Out of balance tires(s) 5. Transmission bearing. 6. Worn wheel bearings (at 40 mph, turn steering wheel to the left and right and listen for noise) Rear end vibration causes: 1. Bent wheel 2. Out of round tires 3. Out of balance tires. 4. Worn bearings (noise will get louder as you go faster). You can start by moving the front tires to the rear and the rear tires to the front, then take it out on the highway. See if there's a difference.
Everything right up until you put that bearing grease on over the abs ring. When the grease melts down,it will all be over the abs sensor, giving you abs lights later. Believe me. Good video
Must be nice for the bearing to right out nice and easy
Sometimes you get lucky!
Straight to the point good video👍🏿
Thanks!
Straight to the point vid, thumps up.
Thank you for the vid! Do replacement hub assemblies come with the bearing already pressed into the hub? Thanks in advance!
Yes for the rear bearings. Front bearings no. They're pressed into the steering knuckle.
@@hardlymovingprothank you for the quick response! After a little more research I figured that out.
How much torque do I use when putting the brakes back on for the two bolts?
I use my impact gun and not a torque wrench. When the bolt stops moving, I let go of the trigger ... which takes a fraction of a second. The tension on the bolt is pretty tight.

I'd bet it's the rear stabilizer bar bushings. Here's a video on how to replace it: ruclips.net/video/wGQL78SWzlU/видео.html
Sway bar links
@MitchelPie or sway bar bushings
Thank you for the video. Can you list the socket sizes please?
It's all metric. Believe the hub assembly bolts are 17 mm.
@@hardlymovingpro Ok thank you. The other sizes needed are a 21mm, 14mm and 12mm.
@@hardlymovingpro The hub bolts are 14mm.
Hey man i have. 2013 lexus es 350 do you think rear hub bearings left or right is the same ?
Yes ... believe they're the same.
Hi, for Lexus es330 2005 replacing is the same? Or different
The part may be different but the replacement procedure will be the same.
What were the torque specifications
Suggest you purchase a repair manual with all those specs.
Mine makes noise when bumps on road, noise comes from inside top from rear seat, like some thing lose, any suggestions?
Could be the suspension struts
Can I use this video for my right front wheel
Nope. The front wheel bearings are pressed into the steering knuckle. Watch this video to see what's involved on this Ford Fusion (similar to Toyota): ruclips.net/video/EapRYC-fS8g/видео.html

Does the front hub come off the same, as in the bolts holding it are in the front behind the rotor not in the back? Thanks
Nope. The fronts have pressed in bearings into the steering knuckle.
@@hardlymovingpro Just found out the bad news yesterday😔 but thank you for responding and this video
Is this the same procedure for a 2007 lexus is250 awd. Also the rear bearings?
Can't say.
I just did mines on my 2001 lexus es300. When the bad bearings was taken off. You can smell a burnt smell. Any moment it couldve caught fire.. now my car rides ans sounds quite and smooth
Glad the bearing replacement worked out for you.
What size are the bolts on the bearing?
14 mm.
I have the same car. And my car is making noise like if the tires were rubbing with the struts. Idk if is because i need new wheel bearings?
Worn bearing noise usually starts after getting to 40 mph and gets progressively louder ... especially on the highway.
What's the difference if i have the complete hub and bearing assembly
Just the price. Most people buy the hub and bearing as one unit
@@hardlymovingpro Sorry. What im really asking is how do i remove the entire assembly? When it's the hub and bearing? The hub is stuck in the plate
Thank you for the video. May I ask you how much a car mechanic would usually charge for this job?
I'd guess not more than a hour of labor time
The mechanics in my area try to charge me $500 each bearing
@@JoeldaBarber My mechanic charged me $400 (two bearings) just for labor I supplied the parts.
Hi Hardly, may i ask you if the large o-ring is mandatory and what will be its purpose. Is there any oil in the area
It's there to keep the grease from leaking out. As grease wears out, it liquefies.
Same procedure on 2005 is300?
Look at the IS300 replacement hub bearing. If it looks the same as the ES300, the repair procedure should be almost the same.
hope this is close to my 04 ls430!
Can't say but should be similar.
Is this the same or very similar process for a 2001 gs300?
Could be very similar
What is the noise you hear for a bad wheel bearing? I have a 03 es300 lexus
Pitched whining noise that progressively gets louder.
@@hardlymovingproDoes new rotar brakes come with new bearings as well?
@@chakajr11 nope.
What is the torque specs
You'll have to buy a repair manual for that.
totally excellent video! short and to the point!
Thanks!
Would a pretty substantial wobble and rattling as well as sort of feeling an uneven sort of bouncy ride coming specifically from my rear passenger wheel possibly be a sign of a bad bearing??
Lift the rear end off the ground, spin the tire and listen for any noise. Also push and pull of the wheel while spinning and check for looseness.

@@hardlymovingpro Thanks a bunch!
No problem and good luck!
Man I would kill to work on cars where there isn't any rust around the hubs
Beauty of living down South ...but the Summers can be hell.
@@hardlymovingpro personally I prefer heat over cold but humidity definitely can be a bitch sometimes

Thanks! Don't believe grease acts as a insulator of electromagnetic pulses. Haven't experienced any ABS faults after bearing replacement.
Great video! Thank you.
SHOWS A FRONT WHEEL
Don't think so!
Didn't say what size the hub bolts are.
