    I get it, Ive searched and only 99's and 4runners. My 2004 Tacoma is a 2WD 2.7L Xtracab and the front drivers side bearing is grinding loud and shooting the steering off in crazy directions on the hwy, its gotten that bad. I get I should search more but I have really bad internet and am in a serious jam. I wish I had more time and it was summer in Spokane where Im broke down but I dont and its not.

    Last time I did this was on a 94 Accord but there was a whole Wheel Bearing Hub Assembly that I couldve bought instead to avoid DIY pressing out and pressing in a new bearing. I just want a second opinion as well: Can I buy a hub assembly that keeps me from having to unpress and press a new bearing in or is that how it goes.

    Just drove my buddy Tacoma from Austin, 2200 miles uphill in the snow lol, and will have to do it myself in a parking lot. Im not afraid of hard work, Ive fished the bearing sea and drilled for oil in Texas but, work smarter not harder.

    If you have a link to a video Id love to click and try and watch it. Any help is appreciated and thank you kindly.

    That makes sense as to why I cant find it in stores!
    Thanks so much man I really appreciate it. The cost of sitting and waiting for the mail I think would out way just pulling the knuckle and taking it to a shop though. I guess its time to pull the steering knuckle.
