Does this sound right?

If you buy the hub I posted before, there is no pressing. It comes pre-assembled, you literally pull the old one off and slide the new one on. The CV is WAY more difficult than swapping the hub.

 

Sounds like thats the plan.

 

Here are the instructions I followed, obviously disregard the part about pressing bearings if you buy the pre-assembled hub. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...e-replace-front-wheel-bearing-2nd-gen.189356/

 

thanks ill let you know what happens.

 

Not very hard on it. lots of off roading yes, but nothing that really beats on it. Mostly wheeling in rocky, mountainous woods.

 

thanks for all the input. ill keep you guys posted with what happens.

 

LR has new zerk greasable ones???

 

All 4 brakes are shot? At the same time? I doubt it. I would get the truck back, do some research on how to inspect brakes and wheel bearings and go from there. Front brakes pads are about the easiest maintenance there is to do. Even easier than changing blinker fluid.

 

If you can install a lift and tear apart a motor than all of these issues should be easy to spot. All these issues can be checked in 1 minute.

 

seriously, what do you mean by "open up motors" but having someone else do a brake job and questions about chassis maintance

 

I think they see your fancy pants wheels and bumpers and are saying this guy is loaded, he can pay for my next set of tires. Drum brake shoes last a looong time. They are not doing much work compared to the fronts. Front brake pads= easy, CV= a little muscle, wheel bearing= you're already in there for the CV, super easy, tie rods= more easy, ball joints= sounds like a LR issue they will likely fix.
If you have no arms then i'd understand. If you were closer I'd help.

If you can install a lift, you can take care of this stuff.

 

Id love to see a picture of those!

 

looking on SPC's site its simply an updated ball joint ball thats greaseable. Not a big deal to me as its not hard to repack the current ones.

I thought it might of been greasable bushings at the frame

^ This. And bama is going to send you a quality part, fully assembled and fully greased and ready to go. The oem part is undergreased.

 

Yep

 

I have the bamabearings on my 2006. Easy to do, once you get the old ones off.

 

rebuilding dirt bike engines.

 

front left brake was metal on metal, i had the rotors and pads done 2 years ago. Never did the rear shoes. No doubt in my mind they are all destroyed haha

 

If you like to wheel you should definitely consider getting comfortable with wrenching on you truck. It will save you money in the long run.

 

If you can rebuild engines a brake job is a piece of cake - just do one side and use the other side for reference - if U R still confused take your lap top next to you and punch up a Youtube.
