    Hey all!
    I need to replace my front passenger wheel bearing. Therefore I'm just gonna replace both. I have a 12 ton shop press I just got on the cheap. Can anyone please confirm that this should be sufficient?

    I can't really find anyone listing a minimum press strength. I came across a gen 1 post that stated needing at least 20 tons. That seems a bit excessive, but nice if you have it.

    Traded the 2015 TRD Pro 6spd Supercharged on a PowerWagon and could not be happier. My 2011 Tacoma with the TX Baja package (Added by me) is still treating me great. My 1985 Toyota never skips a beat.
    You could try it, but I would think a 20 ton is where you want to be.

    For what it is worth, the 1st gen wheel bearing is nearly identical.

    Give it a shot!

    You can probably do it on a 12 ton. If not take it to a machine shop.

    Not many people likely know for sure.
