    Can someone tell me how hard it is to change a wheel bearing on a 98 tacoma with manual hubs. Also how do you get the hub broke loose after you take all the nuts off I tried to hammer it off. But they are no DAY on here that I can find

    dont know about the 98's but my 96 is a pressed bearing...no hub assemblies..and it was a pita!!! if your have a hub assembly it will be way easier and its probably just rusted in place....maybe try some heat

    Wheel bearings are a bitch. They are pressed in, and I believe both my fronts took over 10 tons each to break them loose. Hammering will not do it :)
