Install Toyota Pickup/Hilux Rear Axle Bearing, Oil Seal - WITHOUT a Press!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ส.ค. 2024
- I'm installing a rear axle bearing + oil seals on my 1985 Toyota Pickup 4x4, without using a press. Most people don't own a press, so here's how a little extra elbow grease saved me a lot of money instead of paying a shop to press them on. The rear axle/wheel bearing and oil seal installation is similar on many Toyota trucks and 4 runners, both 2wd and 4wd.
Here's a kit for the following Toyotas (No ABS)
amzn.to/3qtwCCE
1995-97 Toyota Tacoma Rear without ABS Brakes
1998-99 Toyota Tacoma Rear
2000 Toyota Tacoma (Built Before 5/00 Production Date) Rear
1984-00 Toyota 4Runner Rear
1984-89 Toyota Pickup with Single Rear Wheels (SRW) Rear
1969-83 Toyota Pickup Rear
1990-94 Toyota Pickup with Single Rear Wheels (SRW) Rear without ABS Brakes
1995 Toyota Pickup Rear without ABS Brakes
1998 Toyota T100 (Built Before 3/98 Production Date) Rear
1993-97 Toyota T100 Rear
**You'll also need to add O-Rings: amzn.to/3rAsjH4
and Snap Rings: amzn.to/30xVhet
as they don't come with the kit**
If your bearings are ok and you just need the Genuine Toyota 90310-50006 Rear Axle Oil Seal:
amzn.to/3qx8kaT
Fits: 1984-2002 4runner
1990-1996 Land Cruiser
1992-1999 T100
1995-2004 Tacoma
1978-1995 Pickup
2000-2006 Tundra

In the intro, I thought you called it the "6 BEER Garage" and I thought that was perfect for all of the shade tree mechanics of the world.
Rich Wyatt your comment wins!
i was going to say the same thing! Back yard yota wrenches everywhere nodded knowingly in approval
6th Gear Garage hey there man. Your vid saved me about 800$ and I thank you for that. I wanted to ask you however if your break cylinder for the drums started leaking from all that slamming? Both of mine did.
That’s hilarious I had to replay it like 10 times and then looked at the comments lmao. I thought 6beers sounded perfect 👍
@@christianupchurch8988 Wheel cylinders are cheap, it is a good part to change while you are there.
This is a ridiculously good quality video. Fantastic job describing the process. Definitely subscribing!
One of the best quality DIY mechanics videos I've witnessed. Excellently explained, no unnecessary dialogue or footage yet comprehensive enough to do the job properly. Subscribed
best DIY video i've found yet on this process. will be doing this ASAP
Man i thought i had no hope in doing my rear bearings without a press this helped a lot as there is no other video i could find that showed a way without a press fingers crossed 🤣🤣
I have an 86 Hilux and no press and this is my next job. The 'bearings in the freezer' trick is was spot on!.
Best, affordable rear wheel bearing replacement I’ve found also. Always love saving money! Thank you sir!
Last year I got broke down in San Felipe Baja California. I was lucky to find all the parts at Autozone in San Felipe and replace it exactly this way. It’s work. Great video
Well done video. Five stars.
All DIY video makers ought to have look at how this guy stays on point and moves things along.
Well done: im going to follow this procedure with my Tundra
Hi Mate, just wanted to give you a shout out and say a big thank you.
On my most recent trip away over the Easter Holiday to northern Australia, my wheel bearing smashed into 4 pieces 1,200km (750miles) away from home.
All the mechanics i contacted told me it could only be done in a workshop with a press!
I sourced the parts, and with limited tools and lots of cursing I replaced it on the side of the road with the confidence from your video.. thanks heaps, I owe you a beer!! Cheers!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😎
You did this job on the side of a road?!? You are legend!!!
By far the most straight forward video on this particular repair.
And I always thought Americans always use shop machines and equipments to do the job. Your style is what I'm looking for.
Thanks for the video and Great job.
Haha not me, I work with what I have 👍
Great video! Makes the job seem doable in a weekend without having to rebuild the whole axle
I loved the video and decided to try it for myself, but no matter how much I banged it I couldn't release it (also have the abs ring). Ended up building a puller tube that uses a 3 jaw puller to remove it. Worked seamllesly, highly recomended it if you don't have a press.
That was a good solution. I'd love to see the design of the puller tube.
ASE Master Tech here. You have saved me a bunch of heart ache! Thank you!
Pro tip. To remove the rear retaining ring that is pressed unto the axle shaft, cut as far into it as you can with a small cut-off disc. Just cutting about halfway through will weaken the ring just enough to crack it with a cold chisel and hammer. It will save you the hassle of banging that assembly into the floor for 30 minutes.
Juan Martinez I will try that next time 👍👍 thanks!
If one does not have air tools or electric grinder at their disposal, you can drill a few holes and use a chise and hamer to helps splinter the retainer also. Juans way is much easier when access to tools is not a problem.
hello there Juan. thanks for the pro tip👍
That sounds like the best idea. Just go to Toyota and get a new one before you start the project.
I have a press, but I don't have a garage. Swings & Roundabouts, eh?
Thanks for the walkthrough. I'm going to have to do the oil seals on my Hilux Surf [if it ever stops raining over here in the English summertime] and, ironically, your video made it seem easier than other ones I've watched which did use a press. My only "wince moment" was when you used the pipe to drive the retainer on and the retainer was hitting on the centre of the wheel bearing, rahter than the edge.
Great point! I see what you mean... I should have placed something such as a giant washer between the pipe and the bearing.
This may have been the most impressive instructional video I’ve seen on auto mechanical work. Good job man, subscribed! 👌🏼👌🏼
I bought new backing plates not knowing it would be necessary to have some special press to take that off.. now im going to try again like you did. THanks for the tips!
Good luck and wear some well padded gloves!
@@6thGearGarage Thanks I will!.. Was thinking about the plywood and how it got chewed up.. I have a 1/4 inch copper plate.. was thinking of using that instead.. that way more of the energy would be transferred to the shaft..and maybe help get it off sooner.. The wood seemed to absorb the shock a little.. i guess in the end you would have bigger biceps!.. ;-)
@@mg43472 the wood absolutely absorbs a lot of the force. I was tempted to do a couple of taps on the concrete, but knew it wasn't worth the risk of smashing up the splines. I was out of breath by the end!
@@6thGearGarage Yea.. no.. not smashing it into concrete!.. you wouldnt want to mess up the splines..!
I have to tell you this was the best explaining and demonstrating video I have ever seen , Thank you to making such a wonderful video .
For someone with more 4runners and no hydro press is so challenging. Thanks for the manual disassembly . That someone is me.
Thanks Brother! I have a press and still used your method. It saved setting up the blocks and balancing act of the axle in the press. Took less than 1 minute per side to get the bearings off the axle and just moving them to my machine shop would have taken that long. Thanks for the video!
No way? It’s a miracle when repairs actually go as planned. Haha I just noticed oil stains around the 4 studs and plate. Hopefully bearings aren’t going out
Used this method on an 03 tacoma today. It worked beautifully!
Great to hear!
The ABS tone rings didn't change the process? I have leaking seals on my 97 tacoma
I looked all over my area for a 20 ton shop press. Even a hundred miles away. So I build one. And I’m glad I did no pounding for me. If you don’t have a press take your axle to a shop and pay them to press the bearing.
I actually bought a used harbor freight 12 ton after this. I haven't had to do axle bearings since, but it's been useful for other bearings. No more sore hands!
In the mid of changing my wheel bearing on a 92 HiLux. The retainer ring would not move an inch, after pounding the backingplate for two hours i gave up haha. Found it easier to use different sizes of chisels between the retainer ring and wheel bearing to sort of press it out. But very good video
Very helpful and well narrated. Thank you for taking the time to film and narrate this.
Thanks so much! It only took 8 hits on the plywood for mine to come free.
That might be a record... never had one let go that fast. Or you're a beast.
Very well done and comprehensive video on how to change wheel bearing on my 92 Toyota Pickup, excellent job. Thank you.
Glad it helped!!
Thank you so much for the tutorial on rear axle bearing replacement. You are the Shelden Brown of Toyota. 👍
Very, very clever. I love simple workarounds like this. This should make the process SOOO much easier and less costly.
Awesome.... time to do my leaking wheel bearing seal, just needed a refresher course, thanks!
Looks pretty straight forward. I am doing the rear brakes on my '87 2wd Pickup and found the oil seals leaking. So I'm doing the seals and bearings while I'm at it. If I can't find a shop to do the hard stuff I'll give this method a try. However, I would never reuse a cotter pin. New ones for me. Good video, thanks!
Extremely comprehensive , cheers mate
Thanks for this video! I just wrecked my palms (and some plywood), but got both sides off in about 15 minutes! Saved myself some money at a shop, or time making a custom jig for a press. Cheers!
Great video! I purchased a 20 ton press at harbor freight for like 160 a few years ago. It has paid for itself 10 times over. Doesn't take up much room in the garage either.
I'd love to pick one up one of these days.
I had the local fab shop make a puller. 2 inch thick wall pipe, 23 inches tall. A square plate welded to the bottom. 4 holes .4 mm big drilled 3.5 inches centered from each other. From one hole to the next, NOT diagonally ( i dont have that measurement). At the top there needs to be a plate to hold it in the press. About 6 inches long and reinforced on the top edge. The plate bolts to the back of the hub and any shop can press the bearings out for you, really cheap. My local garage actually called to have me walk them through what i wanted. If you have abs, measure the tone ring from the backing plate before removing. We used old bearings and the toll i had made to pound the new bearings and retainers on.
I ended up cutting the abs tone ring and retainer off with a cut off wheel myself and letting then put it in the press. Then i installed my wheel seal and bearings. The tool ran 120 bucks and paid 60 dollars to use their cut of wheel and press. I was relieved that the garage called to have me walk them through it. Its better than having the shop mess something up.
@@brandoncartwright8829 absolutely!
Its cool you're still active on this thread. Good job adapting to not having the correct tools. I dont trust anyone with my vehicles, thats why ill take parts off and use a shop only for things i dont have at home
I've heard that flipping the retainer ring (bevel towards bearing, flat towards diff) can allow a better seal contact (apparently Toyota resigned the axle seals, so the witness marks are more inboard, closer to the beveled edge). I need to do all of this to my truck as well.
Fantastic Video! 5 Stars! Cheers from Wisconsin
Deeply and completely instructed
Video was helpful but i do not think i can perform this task. You made it look so easy..
Not gonna lie, It's a lot of work. Slamming that axle onto the piece of wood had me exhausted. The rest wasn't too bad.
VERY helpful video. Currently rebuilding my rear axle and your links take away the hours of searching for part numbers from toyota! thank you
I found putting a little heat into the retaining ring helps it come off easier
Excellent idea, heat will expand it.
My lc engineering kit just came in the mail this evening both sides hope it's as good as OEM or close gonna be doing this same job before the end of the week
7:33 Don't do that. You are banging the inside race onto the inside race. You always want to drive a bearing in via the outside race so you don't damage the new bearing!
I understand your concern but we are all here on this video because we do not have a press nor do we want to go find someone who does
@@loganlewis4726 dude, all we are saying is don't bang the inner race. You'll dent both races like that. Bang on the outer race when HAMMERering it in. You could grind off some material from the outside of the outer race of the old bearing so it doesn't get stuck in the hub, and bang on that.
Don't give advice that fucks up peoples bearings please.
Excellent tutorial and nice video production as well. So many "How To" videos have poor lighting, terrible sound, are way too long, etc. Well done
Thanks!
Good video .. for all those who complain that they don't fix it because don't have proper tools.. 👍👍
Awe man!!! Awesome! I wish I would have seen this before I just changed my oil seal. I just did a temp job knowing I would be replacing it again for the bearing.
Well there's always time to do the job twice!
You rock! I’ve been looking for a way to save money on a rear disk conversion on my first generation Tundra. Now all I need is a toasted sequoia or FJ rear end for all the parts.
Thankyou so muchhh I have a 99 Tacoma that has blown seals and it’s at 423k miles
Wow that's some amazing mileage! I hope mine makes it there one day!
Thanks for the info in the idea I built my own fixture and I have the same press it work great
Top Notch video. Only problem with doing it this way is it can bend the backing plate. And also I've done a few where they just don't move at all with this method. Like the one in the video on my page. This method would not have worked. It was way too tight
Good call, especially if the backing plate is thinner from rust, as many of them do.
Thanks for your Professionalism from Thailand.
Wow....u sure showed how to do it without a press! Thanks!
BTW, Freezing the parts?! What a concept! Very genius!
A mechanic taught me that trick a long time ago on my first bushing replacement... been using it ever since!
@@6thGearGarage Noted! Thank you! People like you are the reason I love TH-cam! Keep it up!
Bro, you are a God send. Thank you immensely for this video.
Thank you. Thought for sure I needed a press.
It definitely makes life easier, but there are ways around it.
Got both of them done. What a pain.
I tried this on my '94. Didn't work but it did make my hands super sore. Like super super sore. I used two pair of gloves and a pieces of camp pad for protection. Heat didn't work either. So yeah ... I found a shop a few miles from my house to do it for $55.
If I was doing it again, I'd go to a shop as well.
Your video helped me with my Frankenstein.
Thanks so much. 03/28/2020

Common sense approach that I would have never come up with! Thank you!
Literally used this video today and did this exact process and it worked great. Thank you!
You're welcome!!!
wow, great video! I need to do this and don't have a press! I was thinking of the old freeze the part trick and you proved it works on this job! Thanks!
Thank you for making this video, I have a 94, and it’s the exact same procedure, I thought I would have to take it to a garage until I watched this video, saved me hundreds, extremely helpful, thanks again!
Good to know the 94 is the same as the 84-88. I get asked that a lot.
bro is that with an ABS tone ring on the axle shaft?
Wow I am having the most epic fail with this! I've done in 2 pieces of plywood from all the knocking and couldn't get the retainer loose. I was thinking this was because there was vertical play in the bearing. I don't know but went after it with a chisel and a flathead that I proceeded to destroy. Got the retainer off but did some damage to the threads on a couple of studs which hopefully I can clean up. Then I find that the bearing itself is stuck on the axle shaft and have to stick pieces of metal in between the backer plate and the bearing. And that's where I'm at now, bashing more plywood trying to get the bearing off. I was going to take it to the shop this morning they just told me they couldn't get around to it until end of next week so I dove in. Say a prayer for me y'all.
Did you try applying heat/ pb blaster?
Yes I did torch down the retainer for a while but didn't try torching the inner race of the bearing when it was still stuck on. I put the piece of metal in between thinking that I was going to damage the bearing housing with it being disconnected but still stuck on the axle shaft. I think that was just a bad idea all together because I definitely scratched the surface a bit where the o-ring sits. But I got it semi set back in place and just wailed on it a bunch more and it finally came off! To put on the new bearing now I actually took a chunk of 2"x4" and traced the bearing, cut the wood with a jigsaw then drilled out a 1 1/2" hole in the center which I had to rasp down a bit to fit around the thicker part of the axle shaft but it worked well. I wrapped the wood in masking tape and had to put more tape on at intervals to prevent wood shards flying everywhere. Had a pipe that was the exact size of the retainer so that went in super easy, and got the stud threads fixed up that I damaged so I think I'm in the clear!! Definitely investing in a press if I ever have to deal with this again! Thanks a lot for sharing this though - I didn't know how hard it would be and it probably has been the hardest work I've ever done on my truck but I did save some good money and am not as broke as I otherwise would be taking it to a shop. Cheers :)
Instead of slamming the axle into some plywood try removing the c clip bolting the axle back in the housing and using a large slide hammer to remove the axle
Love that truck dude
I’m doing a 22re swap into a 94 runner had the 3.0
That might work if I had a beefy enough slide hammer.
I’ve done it it’s allot easier trust me
It was helpful for me cause I like to do things the hard way instead of buying a press
I found a good deal on a used press a few months after making this video. Figured it would come in handy... haven't used it once.
The thumbnail has a red bearing. Looks like a "Reds" bearing for skateboarding....the memories..
Great video but I think you could improve it better by inserting the bearing first into the hub by driving the outer race of the bearing and then mount the whole contraption onto the long axle by using that pipe on the inner race to minimize potential damage by the shock on the new bearing. Thanks again for the video.
Hey that's a great idea! Thanks
I admire how the job is done and presentation is very best. Professionally done.
Excellent excellent video! I have an 07 FJ Cruiser that is leaking oil so hopefully its rear bearing/seal setup is similar to this one. Thank you for making such a clear and concise video for this project🙏🏽👍🏽
Put a little heat on the bearing retainer with a propane torch ,you can heat the retainer in the oven before you reinstall it about 200 degrees is about right
Mark Warner thanks, good info 👍
This was a very good explanation video and simple it help a lot I just took out all necessary worn-out parts and replace them
Very helpful Vlog. Thank You for taking the time to make this video. My Toyota is next
Very Good Friend That Same System for changing bearings and seal applies to a 22R Year 81 It is 4x4 Thank you
I don't know if all the part numbers will be the same, but the process will be the same.
@@6thGearGarage Thanks my friend
FANTASTIC narration!
"If you're going to use aftermarket parts, at least get something made in japan"....Great advice!
By far the best how to video I have ever seen. Right speed, great commentary, excellent video. Keep up the good work. Own an 87 4Runner. Very helpful.
Thanks for the good feedback! I'll keep it up for future videos.
Excellent video, but I can tell you from first-hand experience there are some that this process will definitely not work for. A press is the best and safest way to go and sometimes the only way to go depending on how seized tight things are. I once watched a guy bend the backing plate severely trying this method..
Since filming this video, I bought a used press. I figured it was worth it for the next time I need one.
@@6thGearGarage yeah definitely a good call to have one. They are certainly cheap enough. I picked mine up used on Facebook for only $75. Sweet Channel man, just subscribed
Thanks for such an illustrative video, I will use it as a guide when a few weeks from now I'll be changing oil seals and bearing on my '94 4x4 pickup.
Just two questions:
1) Does this job require having the differential drained from its oil first?
2) Does this require to bleed the rear brakes afterwards?
Thanks again and keep up the great content!
1. The rear diff does not need to be drained. 2. the rear brakes will need to be bled. Capping the line after disconnecting it will help keep the fluid in and air out, but it will still require some bleeding.
Great tutorial video, nice job especially without a press, you made it look quite easy👍
Thank you 👍
Excellent job here guy. Real clear and straight forward. THX
Man, You got some killer thumbnails bro! i gotta work on that. Just subbed!
Thanks! I usually forget about stopping to take a pic for a thumbnail while I'm working, so I have to go back and create one in photoshop.
Best video with detail
Thanks for the vídeo i already changed the bearings of my car good job👍👌
PLEASE READ: All NEW TOYOTA axle bearings have side to side play and ZERO up-down (vertical) play. If a vertical play is present, then bearing is shot.
ONCE ALL ARE REMOVED, (1) INSTALL THE OUTER SEAL TO BACKING PLATE WITH HAND (2) SLIDE THE BACKING PLATE OVER THE AXLE AND THEN drive the bearing into the axle which eventually rests on the bearing housing (3) NOW DRIVE THE RETAINER.
(4) IF YOU HAVE ABS SYSTEM , PLEASE WATCH TIMMY THE TOOL MANS TOYOTA AXLE BEARING SEAL REPAIR PART-2. YOU MUST PROPERLY INSTALL THE 2ND RETAINER OTHERWISE, OIL WILL LEAK AGAIN.
NEVER HAMMER THE INNER RACE OF A BEARING.
Great instructions. Im hoping this will work out smoothly on my 86 sr5 4x4.
Thanks, should be the exact same procedure👍
@@6thGearGarage you da man. Big fan of your channel! ✌
So far the vest video for this job, I was almost in my way to purchase a press ( that was going to be sitting in my garage for eternity without been used again) however no I know a press it’s not need it to get the job done, thanks 😊 by the way next time try hitting the retaining ring with a chisel, it will expand it and will be easy to remove
Simply, well done. Easy to follow. And fully explained
Wow! And the shop wanted to charge my son $1,100 to do this job on his truck. And that’s only to replace the seal since it’s leaking inside the brake housing assembly ...Thanks for the great video and I also subscribed 👍
Glad to help! I can't believe they wouldn't just replace the bearings while it was apart.
6th Gear Garage Same here, my son mentioned it was an additional amount to replace the bearing ... Glad he called me for a second opinion. The kid is young and serving in the military and so sad that repair shop are inflating their prices for just a seal and taking advantage of our soldier...Told him not to worry, I’ll drive my truck with a backup car on a trailer and bring his truck to my place for the repairs. Since fuel is cheaper now, I could afford the road trip and visit my son 😎
Excellent video and easy to follow
Yep finally a no bullshit video, just good helping tips. 👏
Great vid mate, I'm all set to do the same to my 2002 Dual-Cab this weekend. Cheers!
Best of luck! Yours should be slightly different with ABS and rear discs instead of the old drums like my 85 has.
Your attention to detail is amazing ! Subscribing right now thank you.
Thanks for the awesome vid, it was great help, don’t stop posting first gen yota videos!
Dylan thanks! I have many more on the way 👍
Great video I tried it and it's working great no problems thanks for this video
Great to hear!
Thanks for your sharing .. now i got a lot of idea and skill how to make it done ..
Clean looking truck! Great description of how to do this. Great video
No BS and right to the point. Good job!
There was a time when it was easier to take the axle out of the housing and take it into an auto parts store that would sell you the bearing and install it on your axle shaft for a very reasonable price. These days, with the rise of stores like AutoZone, O’Rileys, Advance Auto and Bumper-to-Bumper, it is almost impossible to find a store that will do any of that kind of work. My answer has been to buy a cheap press from Harbor Freight and make my own axle pulling tool. I have less than $150 into the whole set up, which leaves me with more money to plow into Toyota 4 x 4s, which in turn almost guarantees that I will be doing more axle bearing jobs, probably sooner than I think. And now that I have a press I am thinking about buying additional tools to work on differentials and transmissions. And why not, thanks to the Chinese, the price of tools is a fraction of what it was 10 or 20 years ago.
Thanks for the video. Anything that gets people working on their own junk instead of paying the outrageous rates that professional shops charge is golden.
Thanks and well said!
WrenchTech Garage while you’re at it hire a few “migrants “ to get the work done fast and half assed but pay them in peanuts
I snapped to retainer rings. Lucky shop gave me replacements, but scared to try again so will get shop to press on
