    New guy here. Had a 99 4runner but as you can see drunk driver went through the yard a totalled it. Now have a 96/97 Tacoma ext cab 5 speed . The hub bearings suck. Lol. Got for a grand with a burnt valve, so upper half is new (valve job). Doing a little at a time to get it back to being reliable. Struts going on this wkend.

    The hub bearings are notoriously tight, and you need a big press for them. I hear that even a 20 ton will struggle. Save yourself the trouble and take your spindles to a shop and have them done.

    Welcome to the adiction!

    I've never done wheel bearings on a Tacoma, but did drivers side front on an '08 Prius last summer. (Iowa salty winters) Maxed out a 50 ton press, and had to beat on the press table to get the bearing to start moving. Good luck.

    you know, i wonder if that is one of the issues my old '96 Corolla is having in the front, all wobbly and that... thought it was alignment or wheel balance off
    a wheel bearing maybe is shot :notsure:
