    I have a front wheel bearing going out on my tacoma. I jacked it up and the wheel had 1/4" of play. Ive searched on here and googled it but cant find it or a picture. I'm not going to fool with pressing the bearings in and out so Im trying to find the whole hub assembly so I can just bolt it on. Does anyone have the part #? Thanks a bunch!

    Use really nice grease they will last longer because it will repel water

    Thanks for the help fellows! Yeah I learned this the hard way. Ordered one from oreilly. He told me 2 days but didnt come in. Called advance auto and they had 1 in stock. Went and got it and as I figured it wasnt the whole assembly like he said. Got it anyways. Called my uncle to see if he knew anyone that had a press. He did and the guy only lived about a quarter mile from me :D Charged me $15! Just got it installed and took it for a test ride and it works perfect.

    The hardest thing was getting the freaking hub off the axle. I dont know if it was due to the splines or if it was because the bearing had been hot. The axle splines were a light blue. I kept tapping it with a hammer and it finally came off.

    Yep.
    Which seals are you talking about? Curious because I'm changing both cv shafts and both wheel bearings on sat... diff seals?... I thought you had to disassemble the front diff?

    There is an inner and outer seal for each wheel bearing assembly, as well as an O ring. The diff seals are totally different. Outer seals have to be installed before the hub is pressed into the bearing.

    I did not replace the seals on mine. The o-rings were in good condition. The seal on the inside of the spindle (where the CV shaft goes into the spindle) was a little worn on the passenger side, but I did not have the parts so I did not replace it.
