I just did my rear bearings on my 2005 Toyota Tundra using your video as a guide. I purchased the 20 ton press from harbor freight and was very disappointed. The height from the one I bought compared to yours is different. Harbor freight, probably, in a cost savings scheme has made the whole press shorter. This reduces the clearance on the bottom area. I did get it all done using blocks under the press and doing some other jury rigged stuff with the press. Just a heads up to those trying to do the same job with Harbor Freight as your supplier of the press. Excellent video!
Without a doubt the absolute best video on the net. Can’t believe how loose the wheels were with the worn out bearings. I’m starting to get the noise but not any wheel slop yet.
The 1 1/2 pipe is going to be really helpful! I have that same press too and was wondering what I was going to do about that. Was planning on cutting some material off the flange of the tool but your idea will be more versatile for other projects. Thanks!
I've read it is the same. This was my first attempt after watching a few vids. I wanted to make a complete video and this was actually a pretty easy process. Good luck!
I like the cut beam on the press... I might do that to mine. I think I'll add a couple of lag bolts with lock nuts inside, so that I can control the width if needed, and lock it down. Wouldn't want one of those beams to shoot sideways if something slips.
No need for bearings but now I want to replace them lol any one do the upgrade on the front discs on the tundra? Looking for videos. And came across these gem
This videos helped a lot! I bought a 1.5” tube and it is too tight. I can not put the bearing in… trying to figure out another method to press the bearing in
The top ring that you're calling the locking washer, is actually a seal ring. I'd be interested to hear if you have an axle seal leak after seating it against the abs gear like that. I did that exact thing once on both sides and both axle seals leaked like crazy after and I had to redo both sides, brakes, bearings, seals and all.
Dude, wow. One has started leaking really bad just lately. I was curious as to what but haven't had time to pull it apart and look. Did you leave a gap between the "seal ring" and the abs gear?
@@GarageBuiltHondas I did, because I wanted the abs gear to be centered in the hole. I don't have any clue as to whether that matters or if it's better to have them together though. So far no leaks from the axle seal though. To double check I was riding on center of the seal ring, I put some bearing grease on the ring and put it in, bolted it down and rotated a few times, pulled it and made sure the seal was riding middle of the ring based on how far the seal pushed the bearing grease back. Hope that makes sense.
Thanks so much for posting this up. Really great to know. When I get to look at mine, and hopefully fix I'll respond back here to you and let you know what I found and maybe the same fix will help me. Yes, everything you said makes perfect sense. Appreciate the info Matt, really nice to hear these kinds of experiences!!
The distance from the abs locking ring to the brake housing is the critical measurement here. That's what seals the entire axle assembly to the axle housing. There are other videos that show you how to make sure the seals line up correctly, distance wise. Maybe measuring the distance from the original axle end at the splines to the abs "locking" ring is the best measurement
With the 4Runner 3rd gen you turn the “locking washer” upside down, so that the curved side is to the bottom, that way you have more sealing surface. Because Toyota redesigned some stuff this is a new solution, don’t know it’s the same with the tundra but looks identical.
@@mattleek650 it’s a bit of a story but it did great. Basically 3-4’ of 2-1/2” sched 40 pipe, cut to 24” and 18” pcs. Weld a 1/4”+ (thick plate, I used 4”wide by 5” long) rectangle flange (I used a 2-1/8” hole saw to cut out for the axle to pass, leaves a nice reveal flange to weld to..) on one end of the 24” pc and a 3/8” flange on the other (ditto on the hole saw..), drilled with 1/2” holes on 3-1/2” centres. That one is for the bearing. The other pc, 18” gets a flange on one end and needs very robust hooks on the other. I tried bent 3/4x 1/8” bar but it wasn’t strong enough for the 12-ton press. I went to my local rental shop and they had a pair of puller bars, slotted and drilled which I was able to mount to my flanged pipe (plug-welded nut and a welded stud and nut.)Pulled the ABS ring off like a charm. Used a 2’ piece of 1-1/2” black pipe to handle the pounding/seating duties of the new bearing/ABS/collars. I bought the press a couple of years ago just for this pending job, and it is fully paid for now.
Excellent video, im fubar and will try a used axle 1st, then ultimately take the axle to a shop. FyI mine sounds grunchy, vibrates and increases noise with speed. If its not the wheel bearings then the only thing after would the differential :(
Yes, pulled the axle, driver side, and crunch crunch, bearing shot to hell. Will get local shop to remove the old bearing, and I'm so nervous that they might get the distance of the abs-ring/retainer that I think i will do this part myself with a long pipe. NOTE: The final retainer collar, in front of the ABS ring is acutely the sealing surface for the inner axle seal!!!! They should have called this part an "axle seal ring" or something like that. Any hoooo others have marked the new retainer with a black sharpie, assembled the axle and then pulled out the axle just enough to see if the axle seal has wiped the sharpie in approx. the mid point of the retainer. Measure yours 1st for reference- as you did! Tricky, but once you understand the relationship it all makes good sense. Will report back , off to the shop now@@GarageBuiltHondas
Hi! Question. I’m trying to buy the bearings and other components but I’m having trouble finding them. Wish auto parts did you get them from? Thanks for sharing
Hi sir to replace the thicker seal didn't see that good how you put it in? Do you need the press to install the rubber seal I replaced the bearings like two years ago but something started leaking hope is not the thicker
@Garage Built Hondas thank you I did mine today one side again tundras are the worse the plastic cover on the bearing came off like nothing these are ball bearings inside instead of the bullet style bearings that's the reason there is so much play on wheels. Good luck with yours mine started leaking grease and oil on one side and only oil on the other. Hope you get many years out of your. Take care!
I've had zero issues thus far. Maybe 1500 miles and also towed my car on the trailer 150 miles roundtrip in there. Still perfectly fine and no odd noise or vibration.
@@GarageBuiltHondas that's good. I enjoy working on cars. But sometimes my friends and family take advantage of me and just expect me to righty tighty and Lefty loosey their hunk of junks too. Oh well
Really? Then what did you un plug before brake line, as well as measuring and pressing on abs tone ring? Or is that sensor only abs with speed taken from transmission?
Perhaps you can help. I have a 2002 Tundra and the local Toyota dealer placed all of the new bearing components as you have. Yet, when I placed the axel, there was about a 4mm gap between the hub and axel flange. It would not seat completely. I tightened the four retaining nuts and drew the axel in, I sensed that the bearing was moved and seated deeper. But would that have created a gap under the C clip? Do you know what could have happened? Everything else seems appropriate. Dennis
I came upon a Toyota dealer with a very experienced master mechanic. "Rob" has done at least 50 of these axel bearing installs. Turns out that when the bearing is pressed fully seated to the axle, it is not fully seated into the hub. It tends to be about 4mm proud. When the axle is inserted into the housing, it is then about 4mm of a complete seat against the axle housing flange. Tightening the four retainer nuts will draw in the hub. During this time, the bearing is not moving in relation to the axle, the bearing is fully seating into the hub. This is all normal and to be anticipated. Dennis
I appreciate this, my bearing is roughly the same, 4mm proud, and it wasn’t below the 45° bevel on the inside ring as shown in this video. Started freaking out, for reference I have a 02 Tundra RWD.
You bought the wrong press tools. There is a guy on eBay in the USA that makes an awesome set that fits the press you have without cutting up the press. I have them they work great.
Can you maybe send me a couple more pics of them so I can see them a little bit better? I assume they'll fit my 00 regular cab lb? I'm completely stock. 6 lug but I might be interested for the right deal what new skates are you getting may I ask where is the place to buy rims
Hey i don’t know if your going to answer this but I I have a 1990 Honda Civic hatchback and want to know did you do the b series swap on the ef or did some one do it for you cause I want to replace the d series one and also was wondering how long did it take you to make everything fit
I do all my work. It doesn't take me long, couldn't give you a time frame, but I have a ton of experience doing swaps so I'm quick and know everything that needs to be done for a B swap
1-1/2 or 1.5. A 1-1/4 pipe would be the 1.25 diameter. I bought mine at Ace Hardware just because it's like a mile from my house. I believe Lowe's and Home Depot have the piping also.
Hey bro I’ve always wondered why you haven’t K swapped one of your EFs. Is there a chance you ever doing that in the future? That would be dope content for the channel.
I haven't had the time/money so far. I'd like to build an EG K coupe for a track build but that could be quite a while. It's a plan I'd like to get to but my time working outside is a lot less now than it used to be so I move a lot slower these days.
All good bro. I’m in the early stages of swapping a K24a2 into my 88 hatch. I just scored the engine yesterday from a wrecked 04 tsx at a junkyard. It’s going to be a long process but I’ll get it done eventually. I’ll stay tuned in the meantime.
@@GarageBuiltHondas I’m down ! I think mine might need at least one new axle because it’s been like that for a while. I’ll price up all the parts soon and we can go from there. Thank you !
Heads up! If anyone is doing this job on a 2001-2007 Toyota Sequoia is will be more related to this procedure. It will be just a little bit different. th-cam.com/video/0DEeNLbFuRc/w-d-xo.html

I've read it is the same. This was my first attempt after watching a few vids. I wanted to make a complete video and this was actually a pretty easy process. Good luck!
Best video on internet to do hilux rear wheel bearing :)
Thanks for putting this video together. It is very nice to see the job done live.
Do I own a Toyota truck? Nope.
Did I watch the entire video? Definitely lol
Small world! I too am a CRX owner who also happens to own a first generation 2WD Tundra. 😁
Instantly the best channel on TH-cam.
Nice! 🙏
Best film for the job I reckon.
Thanks buddy.
Your work is excellent. I have to do the same on my 2000 Toyota 4runner and I see that it is faster and cheaper than with a press.
Great video. I'm doing the same for my 2006 Sr5 Tundra. They sell another brand of the bearing removal tool on ebay fir around $50 bucks. Works great

Good job bud! Excellent on the explaining and filming. Did mine exact same way as you did and came out awesome! Thanks for the video!
Glad to hear!
No need for bearings but now I want to replace them lol any one do the upgrade on the front discs on the tundra? Looking for videos. And came across these gem
For my safety, I would've used two huge c-clamps to hold those pieces on the press together. Good work and I can see how much pain that job was.
That's a good idea. I was going to drill through it and use a threaded rod so I can adjust it easily. I haven't tinkered with it yet but will soon.
@@GarageBuiltHondas I didn't think of a threaded rod for easily removably.
Excellent (know how) video, you make it look very simple, going to attempt to replace mine tomorrow,,thanks for the instructions
Good luck! It's definitely not too difficult!
This videos helped a lot! I bought a 1.5” tube and it is too tight. I can not put the bearing in… trying to figure out another method to press the bearing in
It's a ridgid pipe. .I did it.
I ended up just buying the right tool from eBay. Only $30

Good luck, hope you get it tackled
I put a layer of bearing grease to help push things down easier.
great work ,great filming
Did this and less than a thousand miles later both my rear bearings are shot and both seals are shot as well👍
Same. Have you checked the run out on the axle shafts? I'm going to replace both of my shafts now with brand new ones
