    I own a 1995 4x4 Tacoma and recently had some issues with my bearing on passenger side. I started the job and now am at a stand still. I realized how hard it can be to remove the old bearing and replace it with a new one due to them being pressed in and now I’m not sure what to do. I have looked for a hub assemblies online with the bearing already pressed in and can’t seem to find any. I don’t have the equipment to press a bearing in and also don’t have the money to take it somewhere to get done. I really need some ideas or help. Any tricks to get bearing out easily or know where to buy new hubs at a reasonable price? Thank you

    It's not a bolt on hub. The bearing pressing into the steering nuckle/spindle. Gotta have a press and know how to do them. Or you'll ruin a new bearing. Watch this video


    Props to @Timmah! for making the video.

    It's a lot easier to take the hubs to a machine shop. Well worth it to know they're done right. It's about a $100-$150, for 2 wheels! You might find hubs at a junkyard, on the cheap side, but that's like finding a needle in a haystack! Honestly, I think your cheapest option is the machine shop.
