    The 2wd base does not use the assembly. It's the older style press in/out sealed bearing. You have to take the knuckle out, press the hub out of the bearing, press the bearing out of the knuckle, then reverse (along with 2 seals a big nut that goes on the back of the hub and secures the hub to the bearing, and a spacer). Pic below is from the 2013 FSM, and that's later than his 2009, so I would surmise his 2009 is the same.

    I didn't learn about the difference until AFTER I got my newish-to-me 5 lug...
    I bought it knowing there was a problem with ONE of the bearings, and at the time I was thinking, "that's OK, bearings on these are an easy swap."
