    So I've been needing to do the rear wheel bearing on my 03 taco for awhile now just been too busy to actually get around to it, with that being said is there anyone that sells the complete hub assembly or possibly just a whole rear end might be better? I just want to get this done so my truck doesn't get worse and so I don't have to keep hearing that s*** constantly while driving. And so I can start focusing money on things for my truck I want instead of need :bowdown:

    What do you mean by the complete hub assembly? The rear bearing is pressed onto the axle shaft

    Actually I stand corrected, the bearing is lightly pressed into bearing case in the backing plate. The bearing retainers are pressed on the axle shaft. Here's the video I used to do mine:

    Note that there is a part 2 video that uses a different tool (which is the one I used) and the links for the tools are in the video descripton.

    OP Maybe figure out just what your problem is .

    A bad bearing is not something that does not explode soon after it starts making noise although strange things happen.

    Is one of your wheel seals leaking ??

    I have had gears that screamed so loud you heard the vehicle coming 2 miles away on a quiet night
