I’ve spent the last 25 years digging for wheel locks, and I’m confident I hold the Guinness record for most wheel locks thrown in the garbage. I’ve been making the world a better place for countless people, one car at a time. Had a car with mold growing in the cup holders last week. Yes it had wheel locks, and yes, I threw them away. I’ve never been thanked, but I know the next guy appreciates not having to dig through that car. Your welcome.

No ... "if he can do, YOU can do it" A 20 Ton press from Harbor Freight is $250 right now (used to be $190-ish) & the Yoda rear axle pull/push tool is $160 on E-Bay. $410 for a press & removal tool would pay for itself quickly, especially if you did both rears while in there or had a second truck. If you do any suspension work, a shop press will find uses (ball joints & bushings) Or sell one or both off once done and get some of your cost back.
You're in rare form today Eric. Calling all vehicles junk reminds me of a much older coworker I knew back in the late eighties who is now deceased named Gordon Litchtenwalter. He would have agreed with you.
Sometimes our memory tests us ! I’m guessing you wrench for the same reason I do. Breathing new life into a vehicle. We are under paid doctors of engineers mistakes 😁😁 just a quick note for anyone looking to buy a vehicle that says mechanic owned……run !!! We wrench all day, the last thing we want to do is go home and wrench more! Why I’m watching wrenching videos???? I’m asking myself now 😂😂😂😂 but seriously we all learn from mistakes, and sometimes you find a helpful tip! Keep on keeping the wife happy and best wishes
Yep!! The hardest axle bearings I've ever replaced were for a walk in customer, brought his 2 rear axles in and two new bearings. They were off a late 80's/early 90's Toyota 4 Runner, similar set up, but drum brakes. I didn't have the special tool, or a torch, and my press wasn't quite tall enough for the wheel flange to clear the floor. I only quoted him $200 for the pair, but took me most of the day to do the job. I ended up pulling the retaining studs out to separate the backing plate, then added a couple of 3 foot lengths of all thread, with a slotted puller and hydraulic ram to press on the splined end with the axle standing vertically on the wheel studs. I heated and beat the locking rings, and tried grinding slots in them with them under pressure, but they were on there hard...finally BOOM, the collar let go and the axle jumped about 2 inches off the ground and then collar and bearing came off ok. The other similar ones I replaced were off a Nissan Terrano, very similar set up, and was just as difficult....The right tool for the job makes all the difference🤣👍🇦🇺
That was a 50minute ball of the fun & gas axe action toboot .Just what I needed after mowing the lawn 30c heat at 8.30 in the morning in the good ole down under Cheers.
When my teenage son got a “new” car most of his lug nuts were stripped/damaged so we bought a new set from AutoJunk, which of course ONLY come with the 4 security nuts. I tried to talk him into getting another set of 4 plain nuts so he’d never have to worry about losing the key, but he wanted to use the key… I guess to protect his fancy 10 year old rims. I hope he doesn’t regret it.
Have a Lic Plate that says "USA". 1986-89 American Military service West Germany plate. Do you have that one? If you want it let me know< will mail it to you! Cheers
Toyota Tundras are more American than American brand trucks. Engines and transmissions made in Alabama, over 30 part suppliers in Texas and final assembly is performed in San Antonio, TX 🇺🇸

There is a conical spacer that goes between the axle bearing and the bearing retainer, you have the old one in your left hand at 19:20. This piece is necessary to retain proper bearing preload. When reassembling the axle at 29:35, it looks like that part may have been missed. Please understand I’m not trying to be rude, but I’ve seen dozens of these tundras get towed into my bay shortly after they have had axle bearings replaced at others shops because they were missing that conical spacer and the new bearings came apart. Again, not trying to call you out, but figured I would try and pass along this information. Thanks for your videos!
@@DA-zi6eq you are missing the entire point of my comment. I’m certainly not trying to call him out or call him a rookie. Any experienced and honest mechanic will tell you that we ALL make mistakes, I’ve made more than I can count, but you can’t learn unless you know. Its entirely possible this piece was added back in off camera, but from my own experience as a Toyota Master tech, it’s a very commonly missed part, so I figured it was worth mentioning. It would be nearly impossible for Mr. O, or any other independent mechanic, regardless of experience, to know every little detail about every different vehicle on the road. The only intention of my comment was to share some of the knowledge and experience I have so that those who don’t know could learn. I hope that clears things up!
@@Ddprescot It should go on so that the outside edge (widest part) of the spacer touches the bearing and the inner edge (narrowest part) touches the bearing retainer. Does that make sense? I’m having a hard time explaining it without being able to post a picture
I can SO understand the wheel lock key issue. Drives me nuts!! Especially when they tell it's in the trunk with 3 weeks worth of garbage in on top of it all.
I'll bet if I was running that torch the customer would have LOTS of new parts on his Tundra. As for the wheel locks - I'll bet the torch would make short work of those.
Eric, my favorite all around tool for Brakes are electrician's /linesman pliers. Perfect amount of grab surface for those push & rotate retainers, and a beefy enough clamping and rigidity to grab and pull brake springs. Just a regular pair of 8" or 9" lineman. Most also have cutters and/or crimpers, too. Multi purpose!
Only a minute in, but for me, if it takes more than 5 minutes of looking to find a wheel lock key in a vehicle, I call the customer. If they can’t tell me exactly where it is, I tell them to come find it. Sorry, but it’s a business, and I only get to bill for the repair, not digging through people’s cars looking for their aftermarket wheel lock. I generally like Toyota’s rear differential design, but I’ve never liked how the axle bearings are pressed onto the axle itself. It makes a relatively simple job like replacing a bearing into an overly complicated job. Nice thing about TH-cam is even if you piss people off and they leave an angry comment, it still counts as engagement and pleases the algorithm.
For what the tool costs, I think I could weld together a back yard copy, although it likely would only work for one design. That's a lot of fun for a simple wheel bearing, I thought the days of pressed on wheel bearings were a thing of the past. Thanks for the walk through!
Enjoyed the video, done this bearings under warrenty, had to learn how to set it up. One tip is I cut a groove on the bracket were the brake lines meet. that way I don't have to bleed the brakes later(only on disc set up). It still has the clip to hold it in place.
Wheel lock removal Plan A use customer supplied key Plan B supply your own destructive key and replace the "lock" with regular wheelnuts Customer is responsible for which plan you choose
I ask in advance, then inform them that without the key, the locking lug nuts will most likely be damaged. I can usually get them off without total destruction, but not always!
If your ever in a situation that warrants using the torch and your worried about cutting into the axle cause you lack confidence or experience wash cutting with a torch, get the part your trying to remove glowing red in one or two spots and give those spots a whack with a ball peen or a chisel. You’ll expand the diameter enough that it usually falls right off, but if you let it cool down it might tighten back up.
Although some parts on the Tundra are made offshore the truck IS assembled in Texas. So it is as American as the GMC's and Chevy's are (Built in Canada). So there!
Sorry, but my wheel lock lives in the standard location in the spare wheel area where the jack lives so everyone can find it (especially me). Ah, the number of times I have screwed the adjuster the wrong way initially over the last 50 years........I feel your pain. I think it is safer to use a cutting disk on a cordless or air tool to cut those bearings/retainers. I see how Rainman Ray uses a gas axe, and he makes me really nervous, you not so much.
I noticed you left out the concave washer that should go in between the bearing and the retainer. Was that an accident or did it get wrecked by the torch :)
And remove ALL keys from your key chain, clean out trunk and interior, make sure it has at least half a tank of gas! It goes a long ways with your mechanic
yeah once you get handy with a torch, and understand where to apply how much heat to determine what gets cut and what doesn't, its not as scary. Hell you can smoke nuts off of bolts without damaging the threads if you know what you're doing. It definitely requires some finesse, but there's also a science to it.

WOW that is the most complicated bearing replacement I've seen you do. Way way above my pay grade. Another excellent video.
Yeah, it was pretty involved, requiring special tool, hydrolic press, torch and every thing else.
"If I can do it, you can watch me do it" (or buy a 60,000 lb press)

What a hack. He put the brake hose clip back 90 degrees off. 😉
The dealers screw you , domestic and import
I noticed you left out the concave washer that should go in between the bearing and the retainer. Was that an accident or did it get wrecked by the torch :)
First thing I do with New CAR, order four lug nuts and through wheel locks in trash.
Doesn't "pinching" the brake line compromise the inner lining of the hose?

I think you're mistaken. Scotty told me toyotas never break.🤣 Can't wait to finish the video
That depends on which day it is. Scotty hates every vehicle, and mfr at one time or another. 😊
I thought that you have a c clip in the differential to take the axle out of the rear end. Maybe I'm thinking of American made vehicles
And remove ALL keys from your key chain, clean out trunk and interior, make sure it has at least half a tank of gas! It goes a long ways with your mechanic
Might add to wash the salt and crap off too.
My Toyota wasn't very strong. If your used to International pickups don't get a Toyota.
Seems crazy to me cutting metal like that so close to the axle. I guess if you've done it enough times though....
yeah once you get handy with a torch, and understand where to apply how much heat to determine what gets cut and what doesn't, its not as scary.
