    Well ive done both of mine. Im not sure how the first gen differs from the second but i doubt its that different. Do you know if you can purchase the whole hub or do you need to press out the old bearing and press in the new one? Ive got the tools either way but it sure makes it easier to just swap hubs haha. And if you gonna do one you might as well do both at the same time. I did my left side but then the right went out within a few thousand miles so it wouldve been easier to do both while i was in there. Shoot me a text

    I went to Oreiliys today to try and get the whole assembly and they can only get the bearings. I'm gonna try napa tomorrow and see what they have. I have found a few places online that sell the whole assembly if it were to come down to that.

    We can have a wheel bearing party lol. I'm pretty sure my right sides going out. Debating weather or not to take it to toyota and have them diagnose everything and then go in and fix everything or wait till the noise gets worse and I can confirm a bit more play in the wheel before I'm sure it's the bearing and not something else lol. It's just a very low humming noise coming from the right I'm hearing and a slight vibration in the steering wheel.

    Yup. Was going semi well till we noticed part of the old bearing was stuck on the hub. Damn broken parts make things so much harder than they should be. But lets be honest, how many times does a job go as "easy as it shouldve" lol

    They're too big for my taco.

    Hopefully that'll change this summer.

    I guess if the price is right. A lift is already on my list, just waiting for funds.
