05 Tacoma 4wd-inner seal replacement - frt wheel bearings

Hey Guys,
I know I need to replace the front wheel bearing on the passenger side, and aware of the kit I can purchase from a couple of vendors on this site.

My question relates to the inner seal behind the back of the spindle. If I am replacing the bearing hub, while I am there would like to replace the inner seal. I don't have the tools or know how to separate the lower ball joint if this is needed.

Does anyone have specific instructions on how to get the cv axle out and replacing the inner seal ?

Thanks
Dennis

 

You can just remove the two 19mm bolts holding the spindle to the ball joint to swing it out. No need to separate the bj itself

 

I made this tool to replace front inner dust seals with the following materials purchased at Tractor Supply Company and Walmart for less than $9 :

• Threaded rod 1/2” x 12” (TSC) $2.49
• 3 @ 1/2” nuts (TSC) $0.33
• 3 @ 1/2” washers (TSC) $0.33
• U-Bolt plate #2191 3/8” x 4” (TSC) $1.49
• Hyper Tough 93mm oil filter wrench (Walmart) $3.37

Drilled 1/2” hole in center of u-bolt plate and filter wrench.
Assemblied parts.
Filed oil filter brim for slightly looser fit.
93mm perfect fit for the Timken #710573 (OEM 90316A0001) purchased at Rock Auto for $8.21
