2005 Toyota 4Runner Front Axle, Wheel Bearing, & Hub Replacement -EricTheCarGuy

1. Put the parts in the freezer overnight, works a treat

2. Try doing that on a 99 Tacoma manual lock hub 4×4 no abs no auto disconnect

3. It's not the aftermarket's fault for once. Toyota calls their bearing/flange a "hub assembly", hence the confusion. Normal manufacturers (not foreign) call a hub assembly as it is; a wheel bearing and unitized hub. Toyota is deceitful trash as always; charge that idiot customer double for buying that oil leaking rust bucket garbage.

4. Eirc is going to have Quagmire hands after this

5. torque wrench?

6. Mechanics and their impact guns…put those things away for a change and try some TORQUE WRENCHES for reinstalling bolts to the FACTORY SPECS. Torque guns are for breaking tight bolts loose, not binding metals together.

7. Dude IDK about this video…you're not supposed to use an impact gun to torque the axle nut on because you can compress the bearings and ruin the wheel bearing. I just did this my first time ever changing a hub assembly. I'd suggest everyone here avoid use an impact gun for any reason other than to remove bolts and start them.

   USE TORQUE WRENCHES.

8. And this is why I work on my own stuff

9. 76

10. my back started hurting watching this.

11. never give up

12. Just press in there that's it

13. Great video! I feel your pain in the struggle of what should have been an easy fix. As the car Gods point and laugh…haha. This will definitely save me some time on my fix. Thank you!

14. It bolts on. Install the entire assembly including the bearing is the way to go. 4 bolts. Had a top mechanic install just the bearing and the amount of banking needed to remove the old bearing is insane.

15. Do u not own a torque wrench?

16. The owner of this car had to wait 3 days to get his car back haha.

17. That camera guy owes you big time!

18. Arbor press would help.

19. Watching this while knowing the factory service manual says to press it out with a press was the most entertainment and laughs I've had on youtube. It was funny because ive been in similar situation and know the pain.

20. I just bought the whole assembly for mine, I’m not dealing with all that crap

21. It looks like your forgot to put the seal in-between the hub and bearing…

22. Guys if i was a gambling man, I'd say that EricTheCarGuy, a mechanic, a seasoned mechanic with a following, is fully aware that he needs a press. But thanks for letting him know. Jeez

23. Thank You very much thanks to you learned how yo change they rack pinion of my Honda

24. im sitting here watching this half asleep about halfway through the video and i think …wtf are you doing .. replace the hub . what am i missing

25. Man I m doing some work on my Prado for the first time even seen U smashing those hammer smashing things make me feel like I m pro no offence though overall O got to learn allot or it might be the video U make my sense of human might have died somewhere between 30 in 35 when I got married 😀

26. At what point does a hydraulic press become cost effective? A dead blow hammer might help. Maybe some reinforcement under your counter (a bit of welding) to it stops bouncing.
    On another subject, I'm looking for someone to do a start to finish video on Lexus GX470 front shock replacement.

27. Harbor freight will replace that for you lol

28. WOW, Ill give A for EFFORT. IM NOT a Professional Mechanic but I did see one on TV.. Don't real Shop guys use a serious Hydraulic press or a real Bearing puller.. Maybe you should try YOUTUBE video to learn more about what your doing?? I don't understand why you would make a instructional video of a project YOU NEVER did before>?? you said in the beginning.. RENT A PRESS BRO.. or CALL A FRIEND at a real shop. DAM THIS VIDEO HURTS ME.. best wishes in the future..

29. When things does not go as planned.

30. Are going to charge the customer for the broken slide hammer?

31. Buy the damn hub assembly.

32. Eric I gave you a thumbs up because of the real things that happen and sometimes limited tools to work with when working on our own vehicles. I know you know, a press would have solved this issue no problem. Thanks for doing a good job in showing the work.

33. 20:07 – "You reach a point with these things, and you just like …DIE!!!" EricTheCarGuy 2015 🤣

34. Bruto

35. He broke the new bearing

36. I guess no torque wrench 🔧 for you 😄

37. After this video, I don't feel bad about me not being able to remove my hub from the bearing (Hyundai), my car doesn't come with an assembly like my wife's car, which I was able to replace in 15 min. each side. so I was trying similar ideas, but gave up after 2hrs and a sweat soaked t shirt. The bearing not terrible yet, but it is making somewhat of a noise, someone said I can have a few months before it starts screaming really loud. Currently, I am gathering willpower and buying some extra tools. Maybe I get a press.

38. I'm a 66-year-old retired auto mechanic. You sir are an idiot! Never pound on the hub, always use a press. I've never had to press them together in the last twenty years. they come all together as an assembly now. Need to find a new parts supplier!

39. going through some of Eric's old videos and this came up. is this the reason you have a press now XD

40. Now I know, buy the whole assembly.

41. This was one of the most painful videos to watch! Please find another line of work!

42. Now there is some Toyota engineer is watching this video and getting crazy from this guy lol

43. PRESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

44. Are you serious??? Wow. I thought You were better than this… How could you?! Literally one of the easiest vehicle suspensions to work on.

45. Wow, I cant believe you didnt watch a video befor you wasted time…. geeezuz thanks for the laugh..
